uVitals is Pushing the Self-Health Movement Forward…
Self-health is all about helping you to remedy everyday health care problems and, in the process, improving your quality of life.
We believe that every individual needs to know ‘what’s under the hood’‘ with their health. The same way we learn to change a tire or check the oil levels with automobiles; we need to be able to diagnose, understand (at least on a basic level) and, if possible, remedy our bodies and vital systems in order to keep us humming along smoothly & happily!
