Iridology
Iridology
Iridology is the art of analyzing the colored portion of the eye, or the iris, to discern what it reflects about the health of the body tissues. As the iris of your eye is the reflector of your internal health, you can use an iridologists assessment together with a medical practitioners diagnosis, to optimize healing. Examining you iris can determine constitutional strengths, weaknesses and internal tissue damage before they reach serious stages, often before any symptoms are seen.
Iridology will show the patient the state of their body tissues, toxic deposits, inflammation, physical and mental fatigue and stress in the preclinical stages of disease and healing. As the eyes are an extension of the brain via the optic nerves, each nerve corresponds to a part of the body. For example: the bottom of the left eye corresponds to the leg. There may be a discolouraion or a separation of the coloured part of the iris in this area indicating a problem.
An iridologist will usually use a specialized camera that takes a picture of the iris. After the picture is taken, they will compare the iris to a chart that shows which part of the body corresponds to the presence or absence of certain markings on the iris. This chart is based on 120 years of scientific research of iris analysis.
As iridology is more of a diagnostic procedure, the iridologist will usually recommend nutritional healing, the art of using vitamins, minerals and herbs, to heal the patient before any symptoms start. Catching an illness before it reaches the symptomatic stage removes the hazard of damaging the body beyond possible repair.
