Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA): A Powerful Holistic Health Tool
What is HTMA?
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a non-invasive, affordable test, that uses a small hair sample to assess essential mineral levels (e.g., magnesium, zinc, sodium) and exposure to heavy metals (e.g., lead, mercury).
HTMA may be beneficial for those dealing with hormone imbalance, digestive issues, skin conditions, anxiety and depression, fatigue and more.
Why Choose HTMA?
Hair reflects the body’s internal environment, storing minerals and heavy metals over time. HTMA provides a comprehensive view of mineral levels and heavy metal accumulation over several months, while a blood test captures only a momentary snapshot. Blood tests may not fully reflect mineral reserves, as the body can draw minerals from cells to maintain blood balance, potentially masking underlying deficiencies.
What Can HTMA Reveal?
HTMA provides insights on:
Nutritional deficiencies
Heavy metal exposure
Hormone imbalances
Stress levels and nervous system health
Energy production
Blood sugar regulation
Digestive function
Metabolic type (e.g., fast or slow)
This information guides the development of a personalised plan with targeted foods, supplements, herbs, and lifestyle adjustments to help to restore balance.
A Complementary Health Tool
While HTMA doesn’t diagnose diseases, it’s a valuable complementary tool. Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, and other assessments for a well-rounded understanding of a client’s health picture.
