Naturopathic hair testing
Our naturopaths use hair tests to determine what nutrients are missing from your child’s diet while measuring their exposure to elements that can be harmful to growing bodies.
Why our naturopaths use hair tests
Hair analysis is a non-invasive way to measure your little one’s exposure to certain metals, minerals and elements. Along with symptoms, medical history and other laboratory results, we can use the test results to identify chronic disorders caused by abnormal levels of toxic elements.
Hair follicle testing has become increasingly popular because of the enormous amounts of toxins in our environment and the depleting nutrients in the foods we eat. Because hair is an excretory tissue, different elements are left behind in the follicle – much like a time capsule that we can tap into to make sure your child’s body is as balanced as possible.
