Wie entwickelte sich die Iridologie?
Wie entwickelte sich die Iridologie?Der Hinweis auf den Wert des Auges bei der Beurteilung der Gesundheit lässt sich auf zahlreiche alte Schriften und Steinplatten zurückführen, die in Kleinasien gefunden wurden und die Verbindung zwischen Körper und Auge darstellen. Die klinische Iridologie begann jedoch im späten 19. Jahrhundert mit dem ungarischen Arzt – Ignatz von Peczely.As a young child, von Peczely was trying to free an owl trapped in a vine in the garden and accidentally broke the owls leg. During the struggle, the two glared into each others eyes and he noticed a black streak instantaneously appear at 6 oclock in the owls iris. He nursed the owl back to health and observed that the streak had changed over time to a crooked white line. When von Peczely became a doctor, he remembered this incident while examining a patient with a broken leg. To his amazement, Dr. von Peczely saw the same crooked white line at 6 oclock in this patients iris (which he then realized was an indication of scar tissue in the leg). After that, he began to examine all of his patients irises and found correlations between the markings in their irises and their health conditions. Based on those findings he designed the very first iris chart.
