Originally our food was our medicine, during those years the practice of naturopathy consisted of helping people to achieve optimum health through their diet, adding supportive nutrients and herbs to achieve sound health. Over recent years our food and the environment has become more polluted, creating more complex health issues as we digest and absorb a wider range of chemicals into our diet.

For many these added chemicals and toxins are creating underlying allergic reactions, which is hard to pinpoint. Allergic reactions to such items as food colouring, additives, sulphates, food preservatives, gluten, sugar substitutes, sodium fluoride and food crop sprays have become far more common. Then there are the increasing amount of environmental toxins that we are absorbing from household cleaners, cosmetic chemicals, beauty products, plastics and radiation. Or from paints, industrial pollutants, pesticides and insecticides, from parasites to pharmaceutical products with known side-effects, plus other pollutants. Add that to hereditary factors and you can have a biological time bomb.

Therefore health treatments have become more complex because of these pervading pollutants and toxins. What is occurring, even though people are eating healthier, exercising more, having treatments and becoming more conscious of eating and living more holistically, underlying health issues still prevail. You can check for any of these pervading elements though a hair analysis and find a solution. Are parasites causing tiredness, food sprays your digestive disorders, pollutants your headache, herbicides your depression, toxins your aching etc. Find out through a hair analysis.

With this naturopathic hair analysis comes a seven page, confidential report of identifying common pollutants and toxins, nutrient deficiencies, organ energy, viruses, common parasites and any underlying infections, etc. Along with identifying these allergens comes a list of naturopathic, nutrients and homeopathic solutions. Plus a list of common foods that you may be allergic or sensitive to. Combined with health advice and explanation on how to improve your health.

The hair analysis generally takes around two weeks to process plus delivery time unless more complex issues arise with your analysis. It is therefore essential to leave your phone or email contact. During public holidays please allow more time.
