Hair tissue mineral analysis is a test that looks at the levels of nutrients and toxic metals in your hair. Because both what you’re exposed to in your environment and what’s in your bloodstream affect your hair, it’s a great way to check what’s going on inside your body.

​

Hair can hold onto minerals and metals over time, making it a good tool for seeing a longer-term picture of your body’s mineral balance and nutrient metabolism. Since every function in your body relies on minerals, this test can give valuable insights into how well your body is functioning.

​

Once a strand of hair grows, its structure stays the same, meaning the minerals in it don’t change much. This allows the test to show an accurate snapshot of the minerals that have built up over the last one to three months.

​

Exposure to pollution, chemicals, and poisons can lead to heavy metal toxicity, which is becoming a growing concern. These toxic metals can build up in the body and cause serious health problems, including damage to the heart, hormones, immune system, muscles, bones, skin, and brain.

 

Common Conditions Related To Heavy Metal Toxicity

​

Symptoms of heavy metal toxicity can vary depending on the type of metal and the level of exposure, but common signs include:

  1. Fatigue and weakness – Feeling unusually tired or weak.

  2. Digestive issues – Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain.

  3. Headaches – Persistent or recurring headaches.

  4. Cognitive problems – Difficulty concentrating, memory loss, or "brain fog."

  5. Mood changes – Irritability, anxiety, or depression, anger outburst

  6. Numbness and tingling – Especially in the hands, feet, or around the mouth.

  7. Joint and muscle pain – Aching or stiffness in the body.

  8. Respiratory problems – Shortness of breath, coughing, or wheezing, especially if the toxicity is from inhaled metals.

  9. Skin issues – Rashes, itching, or discolored skin.

  10. Metallic taste – A strange taste in the mouth.

  11. Weakened immune system – Frequent infections or a tendency to get sick easily.

  12. High blood pressure – Particularly with exposure to lead.

  13. Kidney or liver damage – In more severe cases, heavy metal toxicity can affect major organs.

​

If you suspect heavy metal poisoning, it’s important to seek medical help for proper testing and treatment.
