At AcuWellness we use gentle techniques and holistic solutions to support your overall wellbeing. In addition to Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine and our Natural Fertility programs, we offer mineral and heavy metal testing to support your initial Nutrition consultation.
What is Oligoscan Heavy Metal Testing?
Oligoscan is a quick, painless and non-invasive assessment that measures the levels of trace elements, minerals and heavy metals. It’s a powerful tool that provides real-time information about what’s in your body. Your practitioner can then advise you on the best protocols to replenish your mineral levels and safely detox any heavy metals from the body.
How Does Oligoscan Work?
The test uses a spectrophotometer, which is an instrument that measures the amount of light absorbed by a tissue sample (typically the skin on the hand). The light interacts with the minerals and metals in your tissue. The way it’s absorbed or reflected indicates the levels of minerals and metals in your body.
Unlike traditional methods that require sending samples to a lab, your practitioner can discuss your results with you during the same appointment. The process is completely painless and results are typically generated in a few minutes.
What Can Oligoscan Detect?
Oligoscan evaluates the levels of essential minerals such as magnesium, calcium, zinc, and selenium. These nutrients that are crucial for overall body function, health and wellbeing.
In addition, Oligoscan detects toxic heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, and aluminium. Accumulation of these metals can lead to significant health concerns, so early identification allows for safe, targeted and gentle removal and detoxification strategies.
