What is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis ?
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a safe and non-invasive pathology test. The hair analysis test measures the levels and comparative ratios of nutrient and toxic minerals found in hair. The hair analysis is a safe, scientifically proven, non-invasive pathology test. HTMA method of testing hair is regarded by many doctors, naturopaths and nutritional therapists as one of the most valuable screening tools available in everyday and preventative health care.
Why do Hair Analysis Testing for Minerals?
Minerals are essential for growth, healing, vitality and wellbeing. They provide structural support in bones and teeth, and they maintain the body's pH and water balance, nerve activity, muscle contractions, energy production and enzyme reactions. They are the basic ‘spark plugs' of life. Ideally we should get all the minerals we need from a balanced diet. Unfortunately today this is rarely possible. Modern farming techniques, fertilisers and depleted soils reduce the mineral content of foods. Environmental pollutants, chemical food additives and stressful lifestyles also have a detrimental effect on our nutritional status. Many health conditions are aggravated by mineral imbalances and toxic metal excesses, including cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, migraines, learning difficulties and hyperactivity in children, to name just a few. Consequently, we need to test and monitor our nutritional status more than ever and the HTMA method of testing hair is very effective.
