Hair Mineral Analysis (HMA)

Cost: 10,000yen/180 SD
Results reported in 2-3 weeks

Hair Mineral Analysis is an analytical test that measures the mineral content of the hair. The hair sample can give an indication of mineral status and toxic metal accumulation following long term or even acute exposure. A HMA reveals an insight into the unique metabolic world: intracellular activity, which cannot be seen through most other tests. A suggestion, at a cellular level, of the functioning of your adrenal and thyroid glands, also your ability to digest properly which may in turn affect your energy levels.

Mineral imbalances or deficiencies may contribute to problems in the following areas:

  • Fertility: Zinc deficiency can cause infertility in men
  • Heart: Calcium strengthens bones and helps the heart work efficiently
  • Blood: Iron enriches the blood, assisting oxygenation and energy levels. The average daily iron intake is only one third of the recommended level
  • Ageing: Selenium is widely believed to offer protection against some cancers and many ageing conditions. Due to over farming Selenium is now commonly depleted in the soil
  • Endurance: Phosphorus is linked to endurance. Deficiency can cause mental confusion, irritability and low resistance to infection

“what is food for one man may be bitter poison to others” Lucretius

It can be argued that our health begins and ends with our digestion. No matter how good our diet is, without proper absorption and assimilation of nutrients we are left undernourished, we are only as good as our digestion.

The incidence of food intolerance is estimated to be as high as 45% of the population. Food intolerances in adults and children may cause some of the following symptoms:

  • seeming to be in a ‘fog’
  • feeling bloated
  • being tired all of the time
  • weight problems
  • strong PMS symptoms
  • insomnia
  • headaches

Children, in particular, may find that their ability to concentrate can be affected, as can their rate of growth and daily moods.

What is interesting is that we often crave the food that we should not eat, for example a child with a persistent runny nose who craves milk and ice cream may have a dairy intolerance, dairy is a mucolytic hence causing the increased mucous to form.

Food intolerance testing involves a pinprick blood test.


Other tests that can  be ordered are 96 Asian foods, 95 vegetarian foods, 15 vegetarian foods, 16 inhalants, 24  herb and spice panel, Candida and others as per requirement.
