What is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)?

HTMA is a safe, non-invasive laboratory test that involves collecting a small hair sample (hair biopsy) to measure and give comparisons of various minerals, metals, and trace elements at the cellular level. Since hair is a metabolic end product, it reflects the body’s mineral content over approximately three months, offering insights into long-term exposure. Unlike blood and urine tests, which provide a snapshot of the current state of the body, hair analysis captures a longer time frame, resulting in a more sensitive and accurate assessment of mineral imbalances and toxic metal exposure. HTMA is one of the most valuable screening tools available in preventative health care.

Crucial Role of Minerals

Minerals are essential for healing, vitality and energy. They are vital for numerous bodily functions, including thyroid, adrenal, blood sugar, structural support, inflammatory regulation and resistance to stress. Imbalances or deficiencies can cause chronic fatigue, emotional issues, weakened immunity, neurological problems, and hormonal disturbances. Through hair analysis, practitioners can identify these imbalances and create personalized nutritional and supplemental plans to restore optimal mineral levels and overall health.

Ideally, we should obtain the minerals we need from a nutritious, balanced diet. Unfortunately, this is impossible today. Depleted soils and fertilizers reduce the mineral content in our food. Environmental pollutants, food additives and stress have a detrimental effect on our nutritional status further contributing to mineral imbalances and deficiencies.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What should I know about HTMA?

Can HTMA determine my metabolic type?

Yes, HTMA can identify whether you are a fast or slow metabolizer, which affects how you respond to dietary supplements and manage minerals like copper.

How does HTMA differ from blood and urine tests?

While blood and urine tests show current body status, HTMA reflects mineral content over approximately three months, offering a more sensitive and accurate long-term assessment.

What lifestyle factors does HTMA analyze to assess my mind/body system?

HTMA evaluates five key lifestyle factors that influence your Mind/Body system:

  1. Diet and exercise
  2. Stress (both physical and emotional, including relationships)
  3. Vitamins, minerals, and herbs
  4. Drugs and medications
  5. Toxic metals

These factors collectively impact your nutrient mineral patterns, providing a comprehensive view of your overall health and well-being.

Before seeing Diane, I suffered occasionally with severe sciatica. This last time was particularly painful. I had difficulty walking and climbing while performing my job as a crane inspector. One treatment with Diane and I experienced complete relief by the next morning.

I am 68 years old and my skin hasn't looked this good in years. With Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture, the fine lines and wrinkles on my face and neck are dramatically diminished. I suffered from rosacea for 15 years and used daily medication. I no longer need medication nor have symptoms.

- Linda L.

Diane has used her cold laser machine to help me heal from several conditions. The most remarkable; however, was the treatment of a very painful case of shingles. After only two treatments, my rash was barely noticeable and my pain was reduced to a minimal level.

- Michael G.

Dear Diane, thank you so much for recommending Cold Laser Therapy to treat my pain. Along with the acupuncture treatments you gave me, it was amazing.

- Debra B.

I have multiple, severe shoulder issues on both sides including joint deterioration, tendonitis, arthritis and a labrum tear. After three acupuncture sessions with Diane my shoulders feels 70% better and I can finally sleep and perform daily activities again.

I enjoy a very active lifestyle. Diane’s Orthopedic acupuncture treatments and the occasional kinesio taping not only get me back to peak performance quickly, they allow me to maintain and continue the activities I enjoy.

Diane is so caring and gentle. She takes her time and is concerned that I am ok and comfortable at all times. I really enjoy my weekly visits with her and look forward to them. Her energy level is so peaceful and I really feel that helps in the process of healing. I highly recommend you go and see her. Even if you've never had Acupuncture, she will take care of you!
