Iridology history
Although the science of Iridology is at least 3,000 years old and is used worldwide, it is still essentially a “sleeping giant” in the United States, but it is growing in recognition and acceptance quite rapidly. The oldest discovered records to date have shown that a form of iris interpretation was used in ancient China as far back as 3,000 years ago, or 1,000 B.C. Two men “rediscovered” the idea of iris analysis in the nineteenth century and are both held to be the modern day “Fathers of Iridology.” These were Dr. Ignatz von Peczely of Germany, and Nils Liljequst, a Swedish clergyman. Throughout the years others have contributed greatly to the research and development of understanding the iris. The “Father of Iridology” in the United States is Dr. Bernard Jensen. Prior to his death in 2001 (at the age of 92), he wrote numerous books on Iridology, nutrition and health; and spent countless hours lecturing and teaching.
Čo je iridológia?
Iridológia je štúdium farby, pigmentácií a štruktúry dúhovky alebo farebnej časti oka, pretože sa geneticky vzťahujú prostredníctvom reflexnej reakcie na silné a nedostatky telesných systémov.
Iridológia dopĺňa všetky zdravotné vedy, pretože poskytuje informácie nielen o tom, čo môže nachnúť klienta, ale aj o hlavnej príčine poruchy.
Mnoho iridológov okrem toho pozoruje hranicu žiaka, ako aj vaskulárne označenia v sklére, aby im pomohli lepšie porozumieť viac o celkovom zdraví osoby.
Sme presvedčení, že iridológia je jedným z najlepších nástrojov na hodnotenie, ktoré sú k dispozícii na zistenie, ktoré oblasti tela sú geneticky silné a ktoré sú nedostatočné. Pomocou iridológie môžeme analyzovať celkovú ústavu podľa konkrétnych farieb a označení dúhovky.

practical iridology Training-Practical Iridology (IIPA Level One) with Manual
The eyes have been called the windows to the soul – and for good reason. The iris of the eye contains a wealth of information about a person’s genetic inheritance, general level of physical health, and even their personality. Iridology can help you determine what body systems are likely at the root of people’s health problems, what diseases they are genetically prone to and where the body is likely to breakdown under stress. This makes iridology one of the most valuable tools you can use for practicing preventive health care! Iridology can also help you develop stronger connections with others by helping you know the best way to communicate them.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, iridology is the art and science of examining the colored part of the eye (the iris) to acquire information about a person’s physical, mental and emotional health. I’m the author, Steven Horne, and Practical Iridology is a course I created for the herbalist, nutritionist and/or natural health practitioner. As a professional iridologist and former member of the Board of Directors of the International Iridology Practitioner’s Association (IIPA), I share IIPA’s goal to elevate the practice of iridology worldwide. I am an IIPA Certified Comprehensive® Iridology Instructor (CCII) and am revising this program so it will qualify as an IIPA Level One course.
In Practical Iridology, you’ll learn:
The correct terms to describe all of the anatomical structures of the iris
How to use iridology charts correctly (most people waste a lot of time looking at every marking in the iris, which isn’t necessary for good results)
What the iris can and cannot tell you (a lot of iridologists get this wrong and really abuse this health assessment tool, giving iridology a bad reputation among medical professionals)
The most up-to-date terms for the various markings, signs and patterns that appear in the iris and what they mean
The various constitutional types from German iridology
Basic therapies to use with different iris patterns
The basic elements of Rayid iridology, a system of assessing personality issues using the iris
Practical Iridology features an up to date color manual and additional online materials to make it compliant with requirements for IIPA Certification.
Class Outline
This class will be taught in ten sessions, as follows:
Lesson 1. History, Anatomy and Fundamentals
Our first class will briefly cover the history of iridology, mentioning some of the pioneers in this field. We’ll also cover the actual anatomy of the eye, which helps us understand exactly what we’re observing when we look in the eye and make certain that we use correct terms. We’ll also cover the fundamental concepts of iridology, such as what the iris can and cannot do, and ways the eyes can or cannot change. We’ll also introduce iris maps.
Lesson 2. Iris Topography and Signs
In this second class, we will cover the basics of iris topography—positions, zones and “clock.” We’ll also introduce the major iris signs, including pigments, the various types of lacuna (open, closed, crypts and defect signs), cords, reflexive signs, perifocal lightening and transversals. We’ll explain the difference between topostabile and topolabile signs and compare old iridology terms to new iridology terms.
Lesson 3. Introduction to Constitutional Types
In this lesson we will discuss the nature of constitution as a genetic predisposition. We’ll consider this from the Disease Tree perspective and the Health Equation, created by Bill Caradonna, co-founder of IIPA. We’ll discuss both structural (density and shading) and the three iris color types (Lymphatic, Billiary and Hematogenic). We’ll also introduce the subtypes for each of the color types and the basic therapies those types can use to improve their health.
Lesson 4. Constitutional Types and Subtypes
In this lesson we’ll review the three color constitutions and then go into detail about the constitutional subtypes associated with each of them. These include overacid, febrile, hydrogenoid, uric acid, scurf rim and ferrum chromatose. We’ll also look at the lipemic diatheses, which is a corneal sign, not an iris sign. For each of these types we’ll look at the health problems typically associated with it and the therapies that can be used to balance the body in each of these situations.
Lesson 5. Pigments, Colors and Lacunae Types
In lesson five we’ll cover the meaning of various colors (straw yellow, orange, fluorecent orange, brown and tarry black) and pigments in the iris. We’ll discuss various heterochromia’s (central, partial, hypertrophic and hypotrophic) as well. We’ll also review the various types of lacunas (honeycomb, stairstep, torpedo, beak, tulip, shoe, asparagus, leaf, polypose and medusa) along with collarette crypts and neuronal netting. We’ll talk about topostabile and topolabile signs for both pigments and lacunas.
Lesson 6. Pupil Tonus and Collarette Signs
Lesson six will cover the pupil tonus variations and how they are related to nervous system function. We’ll look at factors like pupil size, ellipses and flattenings and what they mean. We’ll also examine various aspects of the collarette. We’ll consider factors like placement, quality, appearance and shape. We’ll again discuss possible therapies for health problems that may be associated with these signs.
Lesson 7. Contraction Furrows and Sclera Signs
This lesson will cover the various types of contraction furrows, such as concentric, humoral, intersection, peripheral, sectional opening, sloped and stairstep and what they may indicate. We’ll also cover some of the signs seen in the sclera of the eye such as trauma forks, fermentation signs, encapsulations signs, pinguecula and ptergium. We’ll also talk about the meaning of various types of blood vessels visible in the sclera, such as indicator, tangetial, meandering, bordered, spiral and netted.
Lesson 8. Emotional Iridology
Independently of iridologists, Denny Johnson created a system of emotional interpretation of the iris. Since all traditional systems of constitutional typing link physical and personality tendencies, it makes sense that basic genetically-determined personality characteristics would be visible in the eye. So, in this lesson we’ll talk about the four basic emotional types, flower, jewel, stream and shaker. We’ll also cover introversion and extroversion, right and left brain dominance and the emotional meaning of specific signs and map areas. This topic will be covered in more detail in the Personality Typing and Therapy class in the Certified Emotional Healing Coach program.
Lessons 9 and 10. Iris Analysis by Body System, Parts One and Two
In lesson’s nine and ten we’ll put it all together. We’ll go through the various body systems and show how to put things together to read the iris as a whole. We’ll demonstrate how to move from the general to the specific, ask the right questions and put together programs using the information we gain from the iris.
Dejiny iridológie
Iridologický výskum sa začal v roku 1670, keď Dr. Philippus Meyens publikoval článok popisujúci oči svojich pacientov, keď ochoreli alebo sa zranili. Všimol si aj zmeny v oku, ktoré prišli s uzdravením a dokázal prepojiť body na dúhovke s konkrétnymi časťami tela. Pozorovaním oka bol nakoniec schopný identifikovať oblasti v tele, ktoré potrebovali oporu, ktoré by sa v oku prejavili dlho predtým, ako by sa prejavili fyzické symptómy. Zatiaľ čo oči boli stredobodom pozornosti civilizácií po celé veky, “moderné” Iridológia začala pred viac ako 100 rokmi. Koncom 19. storočia začali jeden lekár z Maďarska a ďalší zo Švédska pozorovať oči a organizovať svoje zistenia. Tento proces pozorovania a korelovania bol pomalý, ale vytvoril základ pre ostatných, na ktorých môžu stavať.
Prvá kniha o iridológii v Amerike od emigrovaného rakúskeho lekára bola vytlačená v roku 1904. Nasledovali práce N.D.s a iných naturopaticky orientovaných M.D.s. Pri práci s obmedzeným zväčšením a fotografickým vybavením bol pokrok ťažký. Potom so vznikom AMA a ďalších politických a ekonomických vplyvov a nástupom “zázrak” drog, takmer všetky praktiky prírodnej medicíny v tejto krajine upadli. Dr. Bernard Jensen sa zaslúžil o to, že udržal iridológiu pri živote v Severnej Amerike. V Európe vytvorila odlišná politická a ekonomická klíma prostredie, ktoré umožnilo rozvoj iridológie (a iných postupov prírodnej medicíny). V Európe sa uskutočnil rozsiahly výskum a iridológia je v súčasnosti široko akceptovaná ako hodnotný prístup k preventívnej zdravotnej starostlivosti. V súčasnosti v USA viac ľudí prejavuje záujem o iridológiu ako alternatívnu metódu na zlepšenie zdravia. Teraz môžete zažiť výhody tohto pozoruhodného hodnotiaceho nástroja/techniky.
