Oligoscan at The Homeopathy Practice
If you’re curious about your mineral levels or wondering whether heavy metals may be playing a part in your wellbeing, Oligoscan offers a gentle and informative starting point. At The Homeopathy Practice, this simple in-clinic scan provides a quick, non-invasive way to gather helpful insights that can support a more personalised understanding of your health.
Oligoscan uses a gentle scanning technology to build a picture of your mineral and trace element levels, along with possible heavy metal load. The scan is performed on the palm of your hand using a handheld device, takes only a few minutes, and doesn’t require blood, hair, or urine samples.
The results can help highlight patterns in your mineral balance and possible heavy metal burden, offering another piece of the puzzle when looking at your overall health and wellbeing.
For many people, this can be a helpful tool when exploring ongoing health concerns, supporting nutritional decisions, or simply gaining a clearer picture of what the body may need.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an Oligoscan and what does it measure? Oligoscan is a quick, non-invasive hand scan that measures the tissue bioavailability of minerals, trace elements, and heavy metals. It's designed to give helpful insight into mineral balance and possible heavy metal burden in the body.
- How is Oligoscan different from blood, urine, or hair analysis testing? Each of these tests offers a different window into the body, so it's less about one being better than another and more about what each can show you. Blood, urine, and hair tests rely on what the body excretes, so if it isn't excreting certain minerals or metals well, those tests may not pick this up. Oligoscan looks at mineral and heavy metal levels within body tissue itself, which can offer another layer of insight alongside other testing methods.
- How long does an Oligoscan appointment take? The scan itself takes only a few minutes, and results are usually available almost immediately. This makes Oligoscan a simple and convenient appointment to fit into your day.
- Is Oligoscan painful or invasive? No. Oligoscan is pain-free, non-invasive, and doesn't require needles, blood tests, hair samples, or urine samples.
- Who can benefit from an Oligoscan? Oligoscan may be helpful for people who want to understand their mineral status, explore possible heavy metal exposure, support nutritional decisions, or monitor changes in their health over time.
- Do I need to prepare before an Oligoscan appointment? There's no physical preparation needed, just a little information to have on hand: your blood type, weight, and height. Not sure of your blood type? We can test that for you during your visit (there is a small additional charge for this test).
- Can you repeat an Oligoscan to track progress? Yes. Many people choose to repeat Oligoscan after a period of support so they can compare results over time and see how their mineral balance may be changing.
