Hair Analysis
The mineral content of your body’s tissues is reflected in mineral content found in your hair. Trace Mineral Analysis is a test that measures the amount of mineral content in your tissues by testing its content in your hair. Through this test, mineral imbalances (lack or excess of mineral content) that cause frequent metabolic dysfunctions can be found before their symptoms appear.
Utilizing the results of hair analysis, the appropriate diet and supplementation can be designed to fit each individual’s specific needs. Trace Mineral Analysis provides a metabolic blueprint with a higher degree of applicable scientific accuracy than ever before.
COMMON CAUSES OF A MINERAL IMBALANCE
- Poor quality water and even excess intake of pure water
- Improper diet (excessive intake of refined carbohydrates and sugars, strict vegetarian diets or other exclusive diets)
- Taking vitamins and minerals which are not compatible with your current body chemistry
- Excess acidity of the body
- Medications
- Birth control pills
- Stress
- Accumulation of toxic metals from the environment, job or hobby
- Inheritance of mineral patterns from parents
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is based on the principle of “like cures like”. According to this principle, an illness is treated by a remedy that induces similar symptoms to those suffered by the patient. The dilution of a substance allows the body to build a tolerance and resistance which henceforth allows the body to heal itself naturally. Homeopathy is remedied to suit each individual patient.
Homeopathy was created in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann and is used worldwide to this day.
Weight Loss
Being overweight causes extra pressure to exert itself on your joints. Chiropractic treatment helps realign the body and eliminate much the of the joint pain that may be experienced from being overweight. Chiropractic care helps your body stay in alignment while promoting healthy diets and regular exercise. Through regular visits to a chiropractor, patients receive the encouragement to sustain a healthy lifestyle and reach their health goals.
Allergy Relief
Chiropractic care goes hand in hand with maintaining a healthy lifestyle. A healthy immune system is your body’s best defense against unwanted pollutants such as bacteria, pollen, and dust. The immune system is weakened through prolonged exposure to physical pain and stress, unhealthy dieting, and lack of exercise.
While there is no direct connection between chiropractic treatment and allergy or nasal relief, chiropractic treatment relieves stress on the nervous system which in turn allows the immune system function more efficiently. A more efficient immune system is they key factor in avoiding allergy symptoms to begin with.
In addition, many chiropractors encourage regular exercise and healthy dieting. Receiving chiropractic treatment and living the type of lifestyle encouraged by chiropractic care will put you on the path to optimal health.
