In this time of uncertainty health, wellness, and self care should be your first priority.

Dr. Judith E. Pentz knows what it is like to go through moments of dissatisfaction and crisis. She also knows that our bodies respond to stress and crisis and how food can make or break our health.

That’s where Ayurvedic Panchakarma (a fivefold detoxification treatment involving massage, herbal therapy, and other procedures) comes in.

Psychiatrist Judith E. Pentz, MD, travels to Nagpur, India, to study 5000-year-old Ayurvedic Panchakarma detoxification and rejuvenation therapy in a quest to provide enhanced holistic wellness treatment for her patients.

Dissatisfied with a mainstream psychiatric practice, Dr. Pentz heads to India, where she undergoes an ancient, rejuvenating cleanse.

Cleanse Your Body and Reveal Your Soul is one woman’s transformative quest with Ayurvedic Panchakarma  and the profound shifts that led to some sustainable, substantial life changes.

The tools and practices of Panchakarma. Dr. Pentz’s narrative offers a compassionate and compelling path for Western audiences and the Ayurveda-curious. Complete with healing oils, Ayurvedic daily rituals, and yoga poses, she supplements her journey with tips about preventive lifestyle changes that promote sustainable well-being.
