Hair analysis is a pathology test that analyses the mineral content of your hair. The results of the test reflect the mineral status of your body. It is a safe and non-invasive pathology test. Many doctors and natural therapists see it as one of the most valuable tests available because minerals are so important in your body. They are essential for growth, healing, and wellbeing. Minerals are found in your bones and teeth, and as well they have a host of other jobs such as looking after the body’s pH and water balance, nerve activity, muscle contractions, energy production, and enzyme reactions.

There are a lot of health conditions that have been identified as being aggravated by mineral imbalances and heavy metal excesses. These include learning difficulties and hyperactivity in children, allergies and eczema, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and migraines.

Instead of heading to a health food shop and just buying buckets of zinc or calcium why not find out if you really need them? It’s best not to play a guessing game when it comes to taking mineral supplements. So having your hair tested to determine the mineral balance in your body is an important start on the path back to health.
