What is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis?
I’m super excited to be offering this new service! We simply take a sample of your hair (not much is needed) and we send it off for mineral analysis.
Minerals are your “spark plugs” in the chemistry of life and have inter-relationships with every other nutrient in your body. Without the optimum mineral levels in your body, other nutrients cannot be effectively used.
This test is useful for health issues associated with absolute or relative mineral deficiencies such as
- thyroid imbalance
- toxic metal accumulation,
- hormone disruption
- osteoporosis
- fatigue
- adrenal insufficiency
- chronic inflammatory conditions
- anaemia
- rheumatoid arthritis.
Causes of mineral imbalance are many and include
- stress (physical or emotional)
- diet (excess refined carbohydrates/alcohol/fad diets)
- medications (well known effects of diuretics include sodium loss, and antacids, aspirin and the contraceptive pill can lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies as well as toxic metal excess)
- pollution
- genetic factors
- and even nutritional supplements if you are self-prescribing.
