Iridology-The iris, often referred to as a “microcosm of the body,” provides a non-invasive window into systemic health. Among its concentric zones, the sixth ring—commonly termed the circulation zone—holds critical insights into vascular and microcirculatory function. A distinct marker within this zone, the sodium ring, manifests as a complete or partial white or gray-white ring encircling the iris. This sign is not merely a superficial discoloration but a profound indicator of impaired microcirculation, often linked to endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, or metabolic imbalances .
While the circulatory system ensures oxygen and nutrient delivery, the lymphatic system acts as the body’s waste management network, maintaining fluid balance and immune surveillance. Although lymphatic signs are less directly visible in the iris compared to vascular markers, their dysfunction often exacerbates circulatory issues. For instance, lymphatic stagnation may compound venous congestion, leading to symptoms like localized edema or chronic inflammation . In iridology, subtle pigment shifts or “lymphatic rosary” (small white-yellow beads near the iris periphery) may hint at lymphatic compromise, particularly when correlated with systemic symptoms .
The sodium ring’s presence signals chronic microcirculatory disturbances, which frequently present with:
| Aspect | Circulatory System | Lymphatic System |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Function | Oxygen/nutrient delivery via blood vessels | Immune support, fluid drainage |
| Iris Indicator | Sodium ring (6th zone) | Lymphatic rosary (peripheral iris) |
| Key Symptoms | Cold extremities, dizziness, hypertension | Swelling, recurrent infections |
| Pathological Risks | Atherosclerosis, stroke | Lymphedema, chronic inflammation |
