iridology
Although the study of the eye can be traced back to ancient civilizations, clinical iridology was introduced in the late nineteenth century by Ignatz von Peczely, a Hungarian doctor. Von Peczely designed his first iris chart after he noticed a correlation between streaks or markers in a patient’s iris and corresponding physical ailments. Since the creation of his iris chart, modern day iridologists use this tool to determine changes in the iris that give clues to physical changes within the body, including inflammation, toxicity, congested lymph nodes and hardening of the arteries. Although iridology cannot reveal specific diseases or ailments, it can alert the patient of potential health issues. An iridology exam is a painless, non-invasive procedure that includes a health questionnaire on your medical history and lifestyle, and an examination of the iris using an instrument called the iridiscope (a magnifying glass with a light). A special camera called an iridocamera may also be used to take a picture of the iris, which is then downloaded into a computer for analyzing.

Controversy surrounding iridology has mounted due to the misconception that the alternative therapy can accurately diagnose chronic and potentially fatal diseases. This viral misconception has been propagated by iridologists misusing their practice of the alternative technique.
“Iridology is the study of the iris, or the colored part of the eye. Iridology is not a diagnostic tool; rather it is a screening tool that gives us a glimpse into the genetic road map one is born with,” explains Trixie Clark, RN, ND, IIPA certified comprehensive iridologist (CCI) and vice president of the International Iridology Practitioners Association. “We inherit tendencies from our parents and grandparents that can affect our health. With iridology, we can inform someone of these tendencies based on the eye color and various markings that are seen. Again, we cannot diagnose diseases, like cancer or anemia, from the iris.”
What information does the iris reveal?
Interpretation of the individually unique color pigments and structural markers that are present within a person’s irises can provide valuable personalized information about their genetic predispositions towards pathological, structural, functional, and emotional disturbances within their body.
What are the benefits of Iridology?
Iridology treats the person instead of the symptoms. Through understanding your genetic vulnerabilities and reactive patterns, you can maintain balance and guard against illness. The body has its own healing wisdom, given the opportunity. Iridology offers a simple economical way to learn to care for your body.
The fundamental goal of iridology is prevention of serious degenerative processes by integrating nutritional, mechanical (chiropractic), spiritual and emotional support. Some of the benefits of iridology are:
Overall health awareness
Understanding how the organs interact
Knowing which organs are under or over active
Becoming familiar with the body’s overall chemistry
Knowing the conditions of the nervous, digestive, elimination, lymphatic and structural systems of the body.
Capabilities:
Inflammation Spotting. Will show where inflammation is present.
Reveals areas in the body where acidity has or can accumulate.
Body Activity Levels. Will show if any part of your body is over active or under active.
Problem Spotting. Will show where problems are occurring in your body.
It is this tissue change that takes place in the patient that makes iridology especially valuable for those specializing in the treatment of chronic diseases.
The Health Status Equation
In order to fully appreciate what the iris reveals, let’s first consider this equation:
HEALTH STATUS = PHYSICAL INHERITANCE + ENVIRONMENT (Diet, lifestyle, etc.) + EMOTIONAL/SPIRITUAL FACTORS + AGE.
We all inherit certain combinations of physical traits. We can observe some of these origins from our family tree, but how much this specifically affects you? Diet and lifestyle have a great impact on some people, but why are others able to get away with abusing their bodies? Which mental and emotional aspects significantly affect our physical health? And as we get older, we lose our resiliency at different rates.
Iridology Cannot Reveal
Predict or indicate blood pressure levels (abnormal or normal), blood sugar level or other specific diagnostic findings or laboratory test results.
Psychic, medium or fortune-told information
Identify what medication or drugs an individual is taking or has used in the past.
Determine what surgical operations a person has had.
Tell what foods a person does or does not eat.
Find out how much uric acid is in the body.
Indicate when an injury to the body occurred or what caused the injury.
Determine whether a poisonous snake bit has occurred or whether snake venom has entered the bloodstream.
Correlate tissue inflammation levels with specific diseases or symptoms of disease.
Identify diseases by name.
Tell whether a subject is male or female from the iris.
Determine whether asbestos settlements or silicosis exists in the body but only the effects on tissue.
Tell if hair is falling out or what may be causing hair loss.
Determine the number of organs when a person has been born with 3 kidneys, a double uterus, etc.
Verify the presence of fungal infections such as Candida Albicans, although it may indicate conditions supporting its possible presence in the body.
Show which tooth may be causing trouble.
Verify the presence of lead, cadmium, aluminum or many other metallic elements that may have settled in the tissues.
Tell if someone is on birth control pills.
Prove whether or not a woman is pregnant, either normal or ectopic pregnancy.
Indicate whether an operation may be necessary.
Indicate reliably whether a tumor is present or what size it may be.
Show whether hemorrhage exists in the body or where its location may be.
The difference between drug side effect symptoms and symptoms of actual diseases.
Show if the thyroid is causing irregular menstrual periods.
Determine the presence of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease or bubonic plague.
Prove whether healing signs indicate a raising of the general health level.
Indicate syphilis, gonorrhea or other sexually transmitted
Show whether gallstones or kidney stones are present.
Tell reliably whether a blockage exists in a cardiac artery.
Although the practice of iridology is more common in Germany and the UK, it is gaining interest in North America as more individuals look for alternative health therapies to complement Western medicine. The iridologist’s goal is determine which systems in the patient’s body are weak and require appropriate treatment before a condition develops into something more serious.
According to Clark, in the hands of an experienced iridologist, clients can find out what predispositions they have to certain health issues and can then go about doing the right things, such as changing lifestyle factors, to stay as healthy as possible. For instance, blue-eyed people tend to have sinus issues, arthritis and skin problems. Following a healthy lifestyle goes a long way in keeping the body functioning optimally and maintaining a state of balance that allows the body to heal itself.

Rayid Types & Temperaments:
Jewel-mental type (Choleric) or (Red personality in Color Code)
Dot-like freckles or pigments in the iris indicate a logical thinking, intellectual person. Mental types direct their perceptions and feelings through internal thought & analysis. They tend to control themselves, situations, and other people making it a struggle to connect or relate well to others. Precise verbal communicators, they show little emotion and use few, pointed gestures. Often intense, these deliberate, quietly driven people enjoy setting and obtaining goals. They take in information visually, which is the Jewel’s primary mode of learning. Jewels like to watch, read and observe. They take information in through their eyes, process it, categorize it, name it, think of it, and then explain it verbally. They are usually precise, verbal communicators. In other words, Jewels respond well to visual impression, while being adept at verbal expression. The Jewel temperament is perceptive and inquisitive. Combining well defined views, an attention to detail, and a commanding presence they excel as leaders, managers, business owners, teachers, critics and scientists. Mental types learn visually and enjoy aesthetics and a sharp image/appearance. At times, their self-control and mental capabilities can give them the appearance of being aloof or self-righteous. Jewels seek freedom and resent being controlled in any way. Some Jewels even refuse to wear seat-belts, because they are repelled by the feeling of constriction. They tend to find their freedom in abstract thinking. They abhor systems and organized structure (unless they themselves have created them), and have a tendency to uproot structures. They usually have a great need to be right, to interrupt, and to have the final word. At times, their self-control and mental capabilities can give them the appearance of being aloof or self-righteous. Jewels seek freedom and resent being controlled in any way. They can sometimes be slow and rigid to accept new ideas. They are motivated to achieve and to gain the acknowledgement of others. When balanced, the mental types can contribute great clarity and wisdom to a social or work situation. Learning to flow with situations and to trust other people enables Jewels to better express their feelings and helps them to attain their long-term goals. Their primary love language or expression is task and service oriented. Needing release from their control, they attract emotional types for balance; or until balance is found within.
Flower-emotional type (Melancholy) or (Blue personality in Color Code)
Distinctly rounded openings in the iris similar to flower petals, identify an emotional type person. Feeling oriented, with passion, fire and grace they experience life thru the sensitivities and feelings of the heart. Flexible, spontaneous and changeable, they flow easily and most naturally with social situations. Superior visual communicators, animated and expressive, they generate excitement and enjoy being on display. Living for the moment, their interest and enthusiasm is often short-lived. Flowers like to be organized, but have difficulty sticking with any system for long. Lords of creative abundance using the creative, feeling and imaginative mind, they excel as artists, musicians and engineers. When out of balance, Flowers can easily become upset, emotionally directing anger outward and blaming others for their misfortune. When they blame themselves, the feeling can be so strong that they get depressed. Flowers are often distracted in their minds, though unaware of it. When they focus on being in their body, Flowers can experience great joy. When expressing their true inner nature, Flowers are poised and open. As perfectionist, they need order and sensitivity to experience true fulfillment. Flowers need to learn to trust themselves and their own abilities, to accept responsibility for events, and to take responsibility for the consequences of their words, behaviors and actions. In order to fulfill their desires and to succeed, Flowers must learn to focus their energies. The biggest fear for a Flower is being abandoned or alone. They are also highly sensitive to being controlled. Flowers can have difficulty feeling complete and have a profound sense of aloneness at times. This can lead to displays of emotionally manipulative behavior. Emotional types learn auditorilly, which is also how they communicate. They express and reciprocate love using verbal communication and praise. Flowers need regular periods of rest, in order to overcome their self-induced states of exhaustion and depletion. When Flowers do take time to be still, a kaleidoscope of inner feelings can fill their mind, and they once again bubble forth with a newly discovered wave of enthusiasm. Needing discipline or control, they are attracted to logical-mental types to learn balance; or until otherwise learned and developed on their own.
Stream-kinesthetic type (Phlegmatic) or (White personality in Color Code)
A uniform fiber structure with subtle variations or streaks of color suggests a kinesthetic type personality. These physical/tactile people perceive and integrate life thru the sensory experience of their bodies through touch, and are more sensitive to somatosensory information such as bodily sensations. People with this iris type are physically and intuitively sensitive. Automatically receptive to others and their environment, their body acts as a receptacle for all that happens around them. The slightest change in vibration is immediately felt. Streams are like walking radar, always being “touched” by things and people around them. Although they have a heightened sensitivity, Streams tend to control subtle physical reactions through stillness. Streams have a way of holding the world together. By nature, they are intuitive, grounded and amiable. Streams learn best when given the opportunity to experience lessons through movement or by doing. With true empathy, they nurture and balance others as true peace makers. Intuitive, yet grounded, they mediate and unify extremist personalities. Excessive sensitivity can lead to feeling helplessly overwhelmed. Communicating and learning by and through touch/movement, they tend to be naturals in athletics, dance, health care, counselors, massage therapists, social work, hands-on therapies, and in public service. Kinesthetic types can also learn through imitation, visually and auditorilly. Their uninhibited transfer of energy fosters mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing in those around them. This kinesthetic-type can provide a sense of belonging, a sense of nurturing, a sense of motherhood. Their presence often evokes the feeling of being gently held or soothed. When a Stream feels that s/he belongs, others around them experience a sense of relaxation. If a person with a Stream structure becomes fearful or reactive, their attentions can become overprotective or stifling, instead of comfortably soothing and containing. Their strong sense of connection with others can produce confusion about their own identity, self-worth or purpose in life. When Streams are balanced, they bring integrity, stability and harmony to relationships and social situations. Streams or Phlegmatic types want to feel respected and worth-while. Needing expansiveness from their routine lifestyles, routine ways of thinking and their comfort-zones, they attract extremists for balance and excitement; until otherwise developed within themselves.
Shaker-extremist type (Sanguine) or (Yellow personality in Color Code)
Dot-like pigments with rounded openings like small flower petals indicate an extremist type nature. With elements of both the Jewel and the Flower in their makeup, they unifying both hemisphere’s of the brain, with right-emotional and left-mental traits, communication modes and personality characteristics. These dynamic, progressive people venture beyond the limits of conventional thoughts and action. Shakers are highly motivated, passionate, dynamic and expressive. These radical, action-oriented people have difficulty sitting still, and frequently venture beyond the limits of conventional thought and norms. They possess a tenacity that drives them to press on against all odds. Pioneering types, typically at the forefront of change and innovation, Shakers challenge life with abandon and zeal, struggling with commitment and stability. These types do not often settle or find contentment naturally; as they put their attentions in multiple places at once. Acting as the conscience of society, they often stand alone, sometimes attracting ridicule from their peers. They are driven to achieve yet ungrounded as they experience cycles of success and failure. Frequently devoted to a cause, and when finding fulfillment, may transform areas of non-commitment with devoted loyalty. When they get overly excited, Shakers easily become scattered. This is when their intense energy can turn back on itself. They can become self-destructive, with a tendency to addiction. Their enthusiasm and desire to change the world can become obsessive, to the point of using blame to motivate others. Shakers rarely take a neutral stance on anything. Shakers learn best physically, while in motion (through the movement of their bodies, or when multi-tasking), or when being touched. They have a strong intuitive sense. Shakers communicate primarily by movement and gesture. Shakers can be the embodiment of ecstasy, joy and thankfulness, bringing feelings of exhilaration and excitement to any project they are involved in. People are initially attracted to Shakers because of their energy and conviction. However, they can be difficult to relate to over time because they are always in motion and frequently change their focus. They dislike confinement and resent any form of systematic control. Shakers have a strong sense of purpose and direction and can be inspiring leaders and motivators, raising one’s consciousness about a cause or bringing a sense of purpose to a project. Their task in society is to expand the limits of humanity’s self-imposed barriers and to pierce through the shield of traditional values. They usually have a strong affinity for nature and the outdoors, where the physical connection with their environment increases their intuitive intake. Adventurous, they are motivated by fun and freedom and excel as inventors, motivators, entrepreneurs and explorers. They need the attention and approval of others to feel loved. Learning through touch/movement, they communicate and express through action. Learning moderation and consistency enables a Shaker to manifest change with stability. Shakers nonetheless place their life goals uppermost on their list of priorities. They want their partners to be supportive of those goals. Their perfectionism and demanding nature can make Shakers quite challenging as long-term partners. Needing equilibrium for balance they are attracted to kinesthetic stream types for this balance; or until gained it’s within themselves. There is much for a Shaker to gain from the stillness and groundedness that a Stream partner can bring to their life.
Stream/Flower Combination (Phlegmatic/Melancholy) or (White/Blue)
A kinesthetic type with some uniform fiber structures with subtle variations or streaks and a few curved openings or wavy fibers that enhance the emotional traits indicate a stream/flower personality. Physically vital, compassionate and responsive, these types circulate with quiet ease bringing comfort or stimulation, intuitively knowing what is needed and that they can offer both. Reaching out with tenderhearted calm, they can touch others deeply just with their presence. Needing to learn detachment will allay confusion or self-doubt in over-empathizing with others.
Shaker/Flower Combination (Sanguine/Melancholy) or (Yellow/Blue)
Characteristics of the Shaker/Flower, they possess curved, flower petal openings and dot-like pigments which represents an emotional, expressive, extremist-radical, passionate, visionary, dynamic and animated person. They motivate with inspiration, creativity and compassion facilitating group-mind dynamics. With the tendencies toward many emotional highs and lows, they need to learn self-discipline and control, proper use of individual power to prevent overly dominating, and focused attention. These dynamic and energetic individuals learn auditorilly and through the use of body experience. They communicate both verbally and visually with synergy and animation. They are detailed, compulsive and methodical in their adaptive abilities. They tend to be closer to male figures (father/brother) and have a greater struggle with female figures (mother/sister) that are close to them. They are especially afraid of abandonment, separation and suffocation. They are playful and enjoy being leaders or center of attention, and social entertainment. They are attracted to Stream/Jewel combinations for relationship balance, and will become most imbalanced when selfish or blaming. When practicing self-control in various areas, they will find their greatest ecstasy.Shaker/Stream Combination (Sanguine/ Phlegmatic) or (Yellow/White)
With wavy uniform fiber structures with subtle variations indicates a Shaker/Stream combination kinesthetic/extremist personality. This individuals find themselves at the forefront of balance as an opposite type combination. The qualities of the stream enhances the still nature and somatosensory sensitivities. The qualities of the shaker describe an action and movement oriented individual, making a balanced nature. The social characteristics of the shaker and sanguine suggests a synergistic quality that thrives on company and attention of others who is running around spreading joy, while the stream/phlegmatic ensures peace, quiet and time for needed relaxation. They need a sense of discipline where conventional systems are concerned. They may struggle with cravings toward entrepreneurialism, yet desire the stability of a secure job working for others. The stream/phlegmatic wants to maintain a peaceful nature and will compromise principles to avoid a potential problem. They’re underlying needs are gaining the approval of others and being peacemakers. They most fear conflict and not feeling understood and appreciated. When they feel valued and maintain a life of balance, they will reach their greatest levels of bliss and harmony. They are often attracted to Shaker/Streams or Sanguine/Phlegmatic types for relationships, and synchronize best with Stream/Flower or Phlegmatic/Melancholy types to compliment one another’s personalities and remain in balance.
Shaker/Jewel Combination (Sanguine/Choleric) or (Yellow/Red)
An extremist type structure with predominately dot-like pigments and wavy fiber structures with subtle variations accents their mental characteristics. Tenacious, intense, self-reliant, individualistic and strong-willed these synergistic communicators are leaders of progressive thought or directed action. Delegating responsibility and staying grounded while surrendering to their inner guidance aids in their realization of the goals they crave. They are active, productive and achievement oriented and externalizes their thoughts, yet they often hide their true feelings to avoid vulnerability. Without the release of open, honest communication they can become stagnant or restless and untrue to their true identity. They can be impatient, demanding and often overextend themselves. They need to learn introspection to find true peace of mind. They attract Stream/Flowers or Phlegmatic/Melancholy types for mate relationships for balance.
