Although laboratory testing or any form of diagnostics are not necessary for homeopathic treatment, one test I do find particularly helpful is a hair mineral tissue analysis. This non-invasive test (using a small sample of scalp hair) can identify any significant mineral imbalances or heavy metal toxicity, such as aluminium, lead or mercury (amongst others) which may be contributing to symptoms or even acting as an obstacle to treatment. The test is accessible, reliable and provides a unique perspective to help with case analysis and prescription of remedies. The state of mineral levels in the body can affect our endocrine, cardiovascular and digestive systems. Toxic metals can affect organ health and function, and often go hand in hand with mineral deficiencies. Tests can be ordered by clicking on the ‘Buy’ button below, with kits sent out upon payment.
