Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a specialised analytical test that measures the levels of trace minerals found in a sample of hair. The analysis supplies quantitative data that helps provide indications to mineral deficiencies, excesses and imbalances of many essential and toxic elements.

Conditions affected by mineral imbalances include; depression, alzheimer's, tissue aging, chronic fatigue, osteoporosis, pregnancy difficulties, stress, prostate disorders, thyroid disturbance, headache and migraine, learning difficulties, hypoglycemia, arthritis, hormones, hypertension, muscle pain, birth defects, dental problems, mood swings, acne, skin complexion, dermatological problems, arteriosclerosis, insomnia, impaired immunity, hyperactivity, hair loss, cardiac conditions, allergies, alcoholism, diabetes, cholesterol, fertility. By using this diagnostic tool as part as a naturopathic consultation, these conditions can be better identified and treated.
