Sensitivities to various substances can manifest as a range of symptoms, which can be disruptive to daily life. Unlike immediate allergic reactions, sensitivities often develop over time and are influenced by factors such as diet, environment, and lifestyle.

Typical symptoms of sensitivities include:

  • Digestive discomfort
  • Skin irritations
  • Headaches
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Joint aches

These issues can greatly affect your well-being, making it crucial to pinpoint and address the sources of irritation.

Our Essentials Sensitivity Test meticulously examines your body's response to 400 different food and non-food items. By identifying which substances provoke unwanted symptoms, you can make informed dietary and lifestyle choices, potentially reducing symptoms and enhancing your overall health.

What's tested

We analyse your sensitivity reactions to 400 items using a hair strand sample.

✔️ Food & Drink
✔️ Heavy Metals
✔️ Vitamin A-K
✔️ Environmental Sensitivity
✔️ Minerals
✔️ Additives

We test the reactivity levels for 400 items using a hair strand sample. Each item is then classified into one of three reactivity levels:

High Reactivity / Outside Range
These items are most likely to cause sensitivity. They may be contributing to physical symptoms, we recommend a structured elimination diet, followed by gradual reintroduction for these items.

Moderate Reactivity
These items might cause sensitivity. Having multiple moderate reactivity items in one meal might cause symptoms due to their cumulative effect. We recommend after prioritising the high reactivity item elimination diet that you then follow a structured elimination diet, followed by gradual reintroduction to these items also.

No Reactivity / Within Range
These items are safe and fall within the optimal range.

FAQ

Our FAQs for Essentials Food Sensitivity Test

Bioresonance therapy is one of a number of procedures including homeopathy, acupuncture and other naturopathic procedures within the area of empirical healing.

Bioresonance therapy was invented in Germany in 1977 by Franz Morell and his son-in-law, engineer Erich Rasche. 

The concept of bioresonance is that the machine’s electromagnetic waves create a resonance in our body’s cells which, in turn, brings about the desired effects.

BioResonance is a safe and gentle, non-invasive alternative therapeutic technique designed on the premise that all particles of matter generate electromagnetic energy.
