The main goal of Ayurveda is to keep people healthy so that they don't get sick and to find problems early so that they can be addressed before they turn into an illness or disease. Early discovery can make a big difference in how bad the illness is and how easy it is to treat. Ayurveda, Panchakarma, and Yoga originated in India, where Rishis held the first Ayur-Veda meeting and Maharishi Bhardwaj brought this holy knowledge to the globe (more than 5,000 years ago). – Rishikesh, the gateway to the Himalayas in the Garhwal area of Uttarakhand in Northern India. Ayurveda in Rishikesh is a very holy place, and there are many churches and Ashrams there. It is thought that yogis and sages from the past lived and did penance here.
