Why Your Lymphatic System and Gut Health Matter for Skin, Detox, and Energy

Your skin reflects what’s happening inside your body — especially in your gut and lymphatic system.

When digestion is out of balance and detox pathways slow down, waste and metabolic byproducts don’t clear efficiently. Instead, they build up and show up as:

  • Puffiness and fluid retention
  • Bloating and sluggish digestion
  • Low energy and brain fog
  • Stubborn skin concerns that don’t fully resolve

At Uviña Holistic Wellness, we connect the dots. Our approach combines targeted wellness testing, lymphatic support, and holistic skincare to understand why your body is struggling and how to restore balance from the inside out.

This is where our method begins.

The Uviña Method: Gut & Detox Health, Lymphatic Wellness & Holistic Skincare

  • radiant skin care
     

    Step 1: Assess — Identify What’s Blocking Your Glow

    Through one-on-one wellness consults and targeted lab testing— including:

    • GI-MAP gut testing
    • Heavy metal detox screening
    • Oxidative stress markers

    — we identify the internal imbalances driving inflammation, poor detoxification, and stubborn skin concerns.

    Step 2: Activate — Support Detox & Lymphatic Flow

    We support the body through lymphatic massage, post-surgical lymphatic care, and holistic facial treatments.

    These therapies help stimulate lymphatic drainage, improve circulation, reduce congestion, and support the body’s natural detox processes — easing puffiness, calming inflammation, and improving skin tone, texture, and energy.

    Step 3: Sustain — Maintain Results with Daily Support

    Healing doesn’t end after a session. To sustain progress, we support your body with minimalist skincare and targeted gut- and skin-supportive supplements designed to reinforce detox pathways, digestive health, and skin resilience.

    These simple daily rituals help maintain lymphatic flow, reduce inflammatory buildup, and protect the results you’ve worked to create.
