Why Your Lymphatic System and Gut Health Are the Missing Link to Clearer Skin, Better Detox, and More Energy

Your body produces up to 3 liters of excess fluid every day — and your lymphatic system is responsible for clearing it out along with toxins, cellular waste, and inflammatory byproducts.*
When this system slows down, the effects don’t stay hidden. They show up where you feel them most:

  • Puffiness and facial swelling
  • Bloating and sluggish digestion
  • Fatigue and brain fog
  • Acne, dull skin, or slow healing
  • Feeling “puffy” or inflamed after stress, travel, or surgery

What many people don’t realize is that gut health directly influences how well your lymphatic system drains. When your gut is overwhelmed, inflamed, or imbalanced, detoxification backs up — and your skin always tells the story.

At Uviña Holistic Wellness, we connect the dots. Through nurse-led lymphatic massage, gut-focused functional testing, and holistic skincare rituals, we help restore healthy drainage pathways so you feel lighter, energized, and visibly more radiant.

Your glow isn’t just topical — it starts with flow.
