What is Iridology?

Iridology is the study of the iris, pupil, and sclera. Each iris comes with its own unique pattern of colors, fiber density and structures. Each unique pattern represents certain energy within different body systems. By using a special digital iris camera a trained Iridologist can analyze patterns and identify underlying body weaknesses, strengths and genetic predispositions.

Iridology is not new. The first records of iris analysis date back as far as ancient Babylon. In the 20th century, doctors and scientists from Untied States, Australia, Europe and Russia brought worldwide recognition to Iridology. These great international Masters developed several Iridology charts, and along with today’s high definition digital macro lenses the art and science of Iridology is accessible and a wonderful tool for Health professionals.

How does it work?

Within physical Iridology, specific colors and structures of irises have been grouped into constitutions. These constitutions have been clinically researched by Iridologist working with the medical community and are a guide for health assessment. For example:

Within the blue colored iris we can typically find:
Weakness within the lymphatic system, probably more prone to sinus and throat infections.
Prone to be more acidic which can cause a higher chance of arthritis and gout.

Within the brown iris we can find:
Weaknesses within the digestive system
Higher chance of sugar imbalance

Of course these examples are very basic, but it can gives you an idea what Iridology is all about.

Iridology is not just about physical signs, it can also identify emotional strengths and weaknesses. For exampIe: If an iris has a small indentation within the liver zone, it is an indication of holding onto past anger or suppressed feelings. Most of our emotional pain stays hidden deep within our sub-consciousness, but can be revealed through the eyes.

Each organ has specific emotional precursors that in an area of weakness can trigger a set of physical symptoms. Some emotional and physical connections within the body are:

Gallbladder: An inflamed gallbladder is associated with hidden emotions like hatred, bitterness and the inability to forgive.
Stomach: Stomach complaints are often associated to the feeling of “it makes me sick to my stomach!”

Iridologists are like detectives who string together evidence of the physical and emotional body to guide clients to emotional and physical freedom. As an Herbalist I can’t imagine a better evaluation tool than the eyes of my clients. The moment a client comes to my office, I can assess their physical, emotional and even spiritual health through their eyes.
