Iridology is the inspection of the iris of the eye as an aid in determining a persons state of health.
The iris contains many nerve endings which are connected to the optic nerve, the base of the brain, and all of the bodily tissues. Hence, the neural circuitry of the eye are able to express the continuity of the body, an integrated unit composed of various cells which all communicate with each iris about their overall wellness. A weakness in body’s tissues or organs often show up in the eye before they show up in medical tests! Iridologist will conduct a non-invasive analysis of the iris of each eye and provide an accurate assessment of your relative state of health as well as recommendations based on the findings.
Using Iridology to improve your health
Iridology is the practice of examining the iris of the eye for markings and discolorations in order to determine possible health problems they might indicate. Different sectors of the iris correspond to different areas of the body. Different markings indicate possible vulnerabilities in those areas. Iridology isn’t used to diagnose specific diseases or conditions. Rather, it’s used to indicate potential problems in all areas of the body, including the heart, lungs, spleen, spine and kidneys. You can use iridology to improve your overall health, however, by taking special care of those organs and systems your iridology reading deems vulnerable.
Discovering potential health risks and problems using Iridology
Iridology practitioners examine the iris to determine possible problems with the rest of the body. Iridology isn’t used to diagnose any specific disease; but it can be used to discover possible vulnerabilities or weaknesses in all major organs of the body, including the heart, lungs, brain and kidneys.
Methods
Iridologists generally use equipment such as a flashlight and magnifying glass, cameras or slit-lamp microscopes to examine a patient’s irises for tissue changes, as well as features such as specific pigment patterns and irregular stromal architecture. The markings and patterns are compared to an iris chart that correlates zones of the iris with parts of the body. Typical charts divide the iris into approximately 80-90 zones. For example, the zone corresponding to the kidney is in the lower part of the iris, just before 6 o’clock. There are minor variations between charts’ associations between body parts and areas of the iris.
Details in the iris reflect changes in the tissues of the corresponding body organs. One well-known practitioner, Dr.Bernard Jensen, puts it this way: “Nerve fibers in the iris respond to changes in body tissues by manifesting a reflex physiology that corresponds to specific tissue changes and locations.” This means that a bodily condition translates to a noticeable change in the appearance of the iris. For example, acute inflammatory, chronic inflammatory and catarrhal signs may indicate involvement, maintenance, or healing of corresponding distant tissues, respectively. Other features that iridologists look for are contraction rings and Klumpenzellen, which may indicate various other health conditions, as interpreted in context.
History
The first explicit description of Iridology analysis principles are found in Chiromatica Medica, a famous work published in 1665 and reprinted in 1670 and 1691 by Philippus Meyeus.
The first known use of the word Augendiagnostik ‘eye diagnosis’, (loosely translated as iridology analysis) began with Ignatz von Péczely, a 19th-century Hungarian physician.
The German contribution in the field of iridology and natural healing is due to a minister Pastor Felke, who developed a form of homeopathy for treating specific illnesses and described new iris signs in the early 1900s
Thee FelkeInstitute inn Gerlingen, Germany was established as a leading center of Iridology research and training.
Iridology became better known in North America in the 1950s, when Dr. Bernard Jensen began giving classes in his own iridology methods. This is in direct relationship with P. Johannes Thiel, Eduard Lahn and J Haskell Kritzer.
Dr. Jensen insisted on the importance of the body’s exposure to toxins and use of natural foods as detoxifiers.
Dr. Jensen touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of patients, students and practitioners around the world.
His work in Nutrition, Iridology Analysis and Health is legendary and Dr. Jensen’s teachings are seriously embraced by people of all walks of life.
