Healing Aids... - Hair Analysis - Contraindications / Precautions / Warnings

Chemically treating hair through bleaching, colouring, and permanent waving can produce inaccurate results. In this case, pubic hair may be analyzed instead.

Hair analysis has received its share of criticism over the past few decades. The testing methods can be tedious and misleading if conducted incorrectly. It is important to deal with a reputable hair analysis laboratory to receive accurate results. Be sure to ask the laboratory, your naturopath, or other health practitioner how long they have been in business, how old their equipment is, how experienced their staff is, and whether the lab conforms to standards set by either the American Society of Elemental Testing Laboratories (ASETL) or the Hair Analysis Standardization Board.
