Bernardo Jensen revolutionized the field of iridology, developing a comprehensive system for analyzing the iris to identify health patterns and potential issues before they manifest as disease. His pioneering work established iridology as a valuable tool in preventive healthcare, allowing practitioners to detect early warning signs and guide patients toward optimal wellness. Today, his methodologies continue to influence holistic health practitioners worldwide, providing insights that complement traditional medical approaches.
The Legacy of Bernard Jensen Iridology
Dr. Bernard Jensen (1908-2001) dedicated over 60 years to researching and developing iridology as a science. His work transformed how we understand the relationship between iris patterns and health conditions. As a pioneer in the holistic health field, Jensen operated health sanitariums in California for over four decades, where he refined his techniques and documented thousands of case studies.
Jensen’s approach to iridology was comprehensive, connecting iris analysis to nutrition, tissue cleansing, and overall wellness. His methods were recognized internationally, earning him the International Iridology Gold Medal in San Remo, Italy in 1953 and the National Health Federation’s Pioneer Doctor of the Year award in 1982.

Jensen’s publications, particularly “The Science and Practice of Iridology,” established foundational principles that practitioners still follow today. His work bridged ancient iridology knowledge with modern scientific understanding, creating a systematic approach to iris analysis that remains relevant in contemporary preventive care.
“Iridology is the science and practice that can tell the reflex condition of the various organs and systems of the body from the markings in the iris of the eye.” – Bernardo Jensen
Bernard Jensen, Science and Practice of Iridology
Fundamentals of Bernard Jensen Iridology
Bernard Jensen’s approach to iridology is based on the principle that the iris reveals the condition of tissues throughout the body. His methodology involves systematic analysis of iris markings, colors, and structures to identify areas of strength, weakness, and potential health concerns.
Key Principles of Bernard Jensen Iridology
- The iris connects to all body tissues through the nervous system
- Iris markings reflect genetic predispositions and acquired conditions
- Specific zones of the iris correspond to specific body organs and systems
- Iris color and structure indicate constitutional strength
- Changes in the iris can reflect healing processes or deterioration
The Four Stages of Tissue Activity in Bernard Jensen Iridology
Jensen identified four distinct stages of tissue activity that can be observed in the iris, representing the progression from optimal health to chronic disease:
| Estágio |
Aparência de íris |
Condição de tecido |
Health Implications |
| Agudo |
White fibers, active inflammation signs |
Temporary inflammation, active defense |
Body actively responding to challenges |
| Subagudo |
Light gray markings, less defined |
Chronic inflammation beginning |
Reduced tissue response, early chronic patterns |
| Crônico |
Dark markings, more defined lesions |
Ongoing tissue damage |
Established disease patterns, reduced function |
| Degenerativo |
Black markings, closed lesions |
Tissue destruction, minimal function |
Severe organ/tissue compromise, difficult to reverse |
Understanding these stages allows practitioners to identify where a patient falls on the health-disease continuum and develop appropriate preventive strategies before serious conditions develop.
Understanding the Bernard Jensen Iridology Chart
O Bernard Jensen Iridology Chart is a fundamental tool that maps the iris into zones corresponding to different organs and body systems. This chart serves as a guide for practitioners to locate and interpret iris signs in relation to specific areas of the body.


Key Features of the Bernard Jensen Iridology Chart
- Clock-face organization with 12 main sectors
- Anéis concêntricos representando diferentes sistemas corporais
- Right iris reflecting right side of the body
- Left iris reflecting left side of the body
- Central zone representing digestive organs
- Peripheral zone corresponding to skin, extremities, and lymphatic system
Practical Applications
O Bernard Jensen Iridology Chart allows practitioners to:
- Systematically analyze the entire iris
- Identify specific organ weaknesses
- Recognize patterns of systemic imbalance
- Track changes in tissue condition over time
- Develop targeted nutritional and lifestyle recommendations
Modern iridology practitioners continue to refine and adapt Jensen’s original chart based on clinical observations and research, but the fundamental mapping system remains the foundation of contemporary practice.

Bernard Jensen Iridology in Modern Preventive Care
Bernard Jensen’s iridology principles continue to play a significant role in holistic preventive healthcare. By identifying constitutional weaknesses and early signs of imbalance, practitioners can develop targeted interventions before disease manifests.
Detecção precoce

Jensen’s methodology allows practitioners to identify subtle signs of tissue inflammation and stress before symptoms appear, enabling truly preventive interventions.
Personalized Nutrition

Iris analysis reveals individual nutritional needs and digestive patterns, allowing for customized dietary recommendations based on Jensen’s nutritional principles.
Avaliação Constitucional

Understanding genetic predispositions through iris analysis helps develop preventive strategies tailored to individual constitutional strengths and weaknesses.
Case Study: Applying Bernard Jensen Iridology with MAIKONG Equipment
Dr. Sarah Chen, a holistic practitioner with 15 years of experience, uses MAIKONG iridology equipment to apply Bernard Jensen’s methodology in her preventive care practice. In one notable case, Dr. Chen identified early signs of liver stress in a patient with no symptoms.
Using the MAIKONG Iriscope and software with Jensen’s mapping system, she documented specific iris markings in the liver zone. Based on these findings, she recommended targeted nutritional support and lifestyle modifications. Six months later, follow-up iris analysis showed improvement in the liver zone markings, and blood tests confirmed optimal liver function.
“MAIKONG’s equipment allows me to apply Bernard Jensen’s principles with greater precision. The high-resolution imaging and analysis software help me detect subtle changes that would be difficult to see with traditional methods.”
