Naturopathy Hair Analysis
Hair analysis is "the new kid on the block" in natural health studies. It is a product of modern science, dependent on ever-growing studies of human health.
In today's toxic world, where we are subjected to an unclean environment, toxic metals have become a serious problem, contributing to many metabolic disorders and symptoms.
Our hair is a reflection of all the minerals and chemicals in our bodies. Hair analysis is a very accurate way to find out the concentrations of non-toxic and toxic minerals in the internal organs. Not only is it accurate, but it is painless and simple.
What is Tissue Mineral Analysis?
Trace mineral analysis is a test which measures the mineral content of hair. Various mineral imbalances frequently lead to metabolic dysfunctions before any symptoms sppear.
Chemical mineral imbalances can be caused by:
- improper diet
- stress
- taking the wrong vitamins over a long period of time
- medications
- heredity
Luckily, balance can be re-gained with mineral supplements and nutrition.
Other conditions which may result or be aggravated by a mineral imbalance are:
- Depression
- Hypoglycemia
- Hyperactivity
- Hair Loss
- Anemia
- Thyroid Disturbance
- Prostate Disorders
- Digestive Disturbance
- Diabetes
- Headaches
- Hypertension
- Arthritis
- Musculo-Skeletal Disorders
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Skin Rashes
- Emotional Problems
- Allergies
Why Test for Minerals?
Minerals are the "sparkplugs" of life. They are involved in almost all enzyme reactions within the body. Without enzyme activity, life ceases to exist. A trace mineral analysis is preventive as well as being useful as a screening tool.Hair analysis allows a correct program of diet and supplementation to be designed for each individual's specific needs. Never before has there been available a metabolic blueprint with such a degree of applicable scientific accuracy.
Who Should Test for Minerals?
Everyone can be tested, but this frequently appeals especially to those who are ill without explanation, or when a cause seems to be found but the therapy is not wholly effective. This screening tool opens new vistas of possibilities for unexplained illness through understanding your own biochemical individually.
Even if you are not experiencing a severe problem, any abnormal changes in your body chemistry, unexplained aches and pains, and in today's fast food revolution, nutritional deficiencies can result in early and very subtle changes in the body.
