Eterna Health Food Store NOW offers Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. Your hair contains all the minerals present in your body, including nutritional minerals as well as toxic heavy metals.

Hair mineral analysis is a laboratory test that measures this mineral content in in the hair. In most cases, the test results reflect how much of these elements are in your tissues and provide a vivid picture of your internal environment. Blood tests give information about your mineral levels at the time of the test only. On the other hand, hair analysis results indicate your overall levels- your actual storage levels over a period of time, not just what you ate that day or even that week.

The liver is responsible for over 200 functions in the body and is the largest internal organ, weighing in at about 55oz.

Although the liver is wonderful at healing and amazing at self-recovery, it does take a great deal of abuse in our Western lifestyles. Some of the choices can be fairly obvious (like eating processed food, living in a polluted area, drinking contaminated water, stress) but many other choices (like skin care products, house cleaning products, drinking tap water or prescription medication) can create further load which we might not even be aware of. The liver acts as a filter, helping to screen out the harmful effects of toxins from our environment and the products we put in our bodies. (more…)
