Cos'è l'iridologia?
Iridology, also called iris analysis or iris diagnosis, is the study of the iris (the colored part of the eye). Iris “readings” are made by iridologists to assess a person’s health picture (physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual) and guide them to take measures to improve their health.

Iridology is generally based on the concept of neural pathways between the body and the iris. Although iridologists may differ on the exact mechanism, most maintain that the iris reflects what is happening throughout the body via nerve conduction from all parts of the body to the eye. The client’s health is assessed by the iridologist, who interprets patterns, shapes, rings, colors and pigmentation markings, fibers, structures, and changes in the pupil and iris. Many iridologists also use sclerology (reading the lines in the white part of the eyes) in their health evaluation.

iridology readings are typically performed by such holistically oriented practitioners as naturopaths, chiropractors, or nutritionists. The reading may be done using a bright light, a magnifying glass, and a notepad. The iridologist may also use various tools to better view the eye, a special camera to take pictures of the iris, and/or a computer.

Iridologists conduct their readings using charts on which each area of the iris is mapped to a specific body system or organ. iridology charts vary, with at least 20 different ones in existence. Some charts are more widely used than others; however, many iridologists believe that there is more than one correct map and that each practitioner should become familiar with several charts. Some iridologists even develop their own charts. Differences also exist among practitioner techniques; among American, European, and other approaches; and in the interpretation of specific iris signs.

Iridology charts divide the iris into numerous zones corresponding to different parts of the body. Although the specifics may differ on each chart, all share a general pattern. The left eye is mapped to the left side of the body and the right eye to the right side. The top of the eye is mapped to the upper body (e.g., brain, face, neck, chest and heart). The center of the eye is mapped to the stomach and digestive organs, with other organs being represented by concentric circular zones moving outward toward the edge of the iris. The bottom of the eye is mapped to the legs and lower half of body. Paired organs (e.g., the kidneys) are mapped to both irises.

Using a holistic approach that considers each client as an individual with unique health patterns and concerns, behaviors, and experiences, the iridologist will examine the eyes and make a health assessment. Based on the results of that reading, the iridologist generally recommends a wellness program tailored to the individual’s physical, emotional, and life situation. This program may incorporate various health improvement, maintenance, and prevention regimes. Recommendations may include vitamins, minerals, herbs, supplements, and/or diet and nutrition, among other suggestions.

Storia dell'iridologia
Il concetto base dell’iridologia esiste da secoli. La Facoltà di Medicina dell'Università di Salerno in Italia ha offerto formazione sulla diagnosi dell'iride. Un libro pubblicato da Philippus Meyers nel 1670, intitolato Chiromatica medica, notava che i segni nell'iride indicano malattie. Il dottor Ignatz von Peczely, tuttavia, è generalmente considerato il padre dell'iridologia, con la data della sua scoperta indicata nel 1861. Von Peczely era un medico ungherese. Da bambino ruppe accidentalmente una zampa a un gufo. Ha osservato che una linea nera si era formata nell’iride inferiore del gufo al momento della ferita. Dopo che la zampa del gufo guarì, il giovane von Peczely notò che la striscia nera aveva cambiato aspetto. Come medico, curò un paziente con una gamba rotta nel cui occhio osservò una striscia nera nella stessa posizione dell’iride del gufo ferito. Von Peczely rimase incuriosito dalla possibilità di una connessione tra malattie e segni sugli occhi. Osservando i suoi pazienti’ occhi, si convinse di questa connessione e sviluppò una carta che mappava le correlazioni iride-corpo. Dopo diversi decenni di studi comparativi, von Peczely ha mappato gli organi attraverso zone identificate da ore e minuti su un quadrante di orologio sovrapposto ai disegni degli occhi. Nel 1881 pubblicò le sue teorie in un libro intitolato Scoperte nel campo delle scienze naturali e della medicina: istruzioni per lo studio della diagnosi dall'occhio.

Anche un pastore e omeopata svedese di nome Nils Liljequist sviluppò il concetto di correlazione iride-corpo più o meno nello stesso periodo ma indipendentemente dal lavoro di von Peczely. Fu il primo iridologo a identificare gli effetti di farmaci come lo iodio e il chinino sull'iride. Liljequist basò le sue prime osservazioni sui cambiamenti della propria iride dopo malattie e infortuni, pubblicando scritti e disegni oculari durante la fine del XIX secolo. Uno dei suoi studenti, il dottor Henry Lahn, portò la pratica dell'iridologia negli Stati Uniti. Una varietà di professionisti, principalmente europei, hanno cercato di rendere popolare l'iridologia a partire da questi primi lavori. Il dottor Bernard Jensen, un chiropratico, è il più noto sostenitore americano contemporaneo dell'iridologia.

Benefits of Iridology
Iridologists claim that by studying the patterns of a person’s iris, they can provide helpful and accurate health and wellness information. iridology is a holistic endeavor in that it addresses the person’s whole being in the reading. The range of information gleaned encompasses physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of the person’s health picture. In addition to assessing the person’s general level of health, readings can reveal other data, including energy quotients; internal areas of irritation, degeneration, injury, or inflammation; nutritional and chemical imbalances; accumulation of toxins; life transitions; and subconscious tensions. Iridologists maintain that the eyes reveal information about the person’s physical and emotional constitution, such as inherited weaknesses and risks to which the person may be prone. Strengths may also be revealed, including inherited emotional tendencies from which the person derives particular talents. Cleansing and healing can be verified by changes in the iris. By looking for certain signs such as healing lines, iridologists obtain information about previous health problems and injuries and discover what may have gone wrong in the person’s past.

An iridology reading reflects the causes of problems, not symptoms. It may, iridologists claim, reveal that organs or systems are overstressed or predisposed to disease before clinical symptoms even develop. By predicting future problems, iridology can be used as a preventive tool. People can use the information from iridology readings to improve their health and make better behavioral choices in the future, thereby heading off problems before they occur.

In North America, iridology is generally considered to be an assessment tool to be used in cooperation with other health specialties. iridology is not a diagnostic tool (although it is more likely to be considered so by European iridologists) and should not be used to diagnose or name specific diseases. Not only would diagnosis represent an improper application of iridology according to many iridologists, as noted by the International iridology Research Association (IIRA), it could also be construed in many countries as practicing medicine without a license.
