Iridology Natural Therapy which Studies the Iris to Reflect Human Health and Susceptibility to Disease. Color Eye Charts, Map, History
The eyes don’t lie .. (old folklore saying)
Your eye is the lamp of your body. (Jesus, Luke 11:34-35 NIV)
The eyes are the window of the soul. (English Proverb)
The study of Iridology asserts that through studying markings in the iris one can learn about the inner workings of the body.
The word “iris” is Greek and means “rainbow” or “halo.” The iris is the colorful portion of the eye that surrounds the pupil.
Every fiber, color, pattern, and defect in the iris is believed to have a reflex correlation with a disease manifestation or organ system malfunction. By studying the eye, Iridologists can reveal a patient’s overall state of health, as well as their tendencies toward inherited disease and possible future problems.
The left eye is believed to correspond with the left side of the body and the right eye with the right side of the body. In general, the higher organs (brain, thyroid) are at the top of the iris and the lower organs (kidneys) are at the bottom.

iridology
Iridology is used as more of a diagnostic tool than a treatment. It is not a medical exam or
a definitive diagnosis of disease. Rather, it proposes to recognize:
* Toxins and their locations
* Stages of Inflammation
* Inherent Weakness or Strength
* General Health level
* Biochemical Deficiencies
In reading the iris to gain insight to the body there are several characteristics that are studied. These include, but are not limited to layers, colors, rings and spots.
Layers
A primary theory of Iridology is that the iris is constructed in layers that represent the four stages of tissue activity.
* Acute changes
* Sub-acute changes
* Chronic changes
* Degenerative changes
COLORS
There are 3 main physical eye types:
● Blue-Eyed Type (Lymphatic): At increased risk for problems with the upper respiratory tract, digestive tract, urogenital tract, lymphatic tissues, joints, kidneys and adrenal gland imbalances.
● Mixed-Eye Type (Biliary): This type has discolorations (usually light brown) on top of a blue background. They are at increased risk for liver related problems, digestive tract problems and allergies.
● Brown-Eyed Type (Hematogenic): This type is predisposed to blood disorders and imbalances of minerals, especially calcium. This type should pay attention to the circulatory system, liver, spleen, bone marrow, digestive system and endocrine glands.
Colors over certain areas on the iris correspond to the area of the body as indicated by the maps. You can then decide what types of changes are occurring.
* White indicates an area of the body working hard to “maintain.”
* Yellow-white indicates an area of the body losing a battle.
* Yellow indicates poor kidney function; yellow sclera (white part of the eye) suggest gallbladder disease.
* Orange indicates problems metabolizing carbohydrates and weakness in the liver and/or pancreas. Glucose levels should be checked.
* Red-brown indicates deterioration.
* Brown indicates poor liver function and “dirty blood.”
* Black indicates dying tissue.
RINGS
There are numerous rings seen in the iris. Here are a few of the main ones.
* Scurf Rim or Ring of Purpose is a dark band around the iris, indicating that the skin is not functioning properly. These people do not sweat easily (lack of detoxification), have increased mucous production and kidney stress. They are “thick-skinned” emotionally.
* Stress Rings or Rings of Freedom look like growth rings on a tree. They indicate neuro-muscular tension and stress. These people tend to be perfectionists and are highly active and accomplishment-oriented.
* Lipid Ring or Ring of Determination is a heavy white ring partially or completely covering the outer edge of the iris. This ring is mostly found in older people, and it is indicative of arteriosclerosis and other cardiovascular problems. It can also indicate problems with the liver and thyroid, and an increased risk of Parkinson’s Disease. These people tend to be stubborn.
* Lymphatic Rosary or Ring of Harmony looks like a tiny ring of clouds around the outer iris. These people have lymphatic congestion and swollen lymph nodes. Perhaps the person with this ring is not getting enough exercise for the particular body parts underlying the ring. These people internalize others’ problems to make everything appear harmonious, as they dislike conflict and tension in their environment.
SPOTS
Spots may “move” across the iris and are believed to indicate deficiencies or a “blocking” of awareness about a particular organ or system.

What is Iridology?
Iridology is the science and study of pathological and functional disturbances in the human body as indicated by abnormal markings and color changes in the iris of the eye, while revealing inflammation, where it is located and in what stage it is manifesting. The iris reveals bodily conditions as it relates to inherent weaknesses, levels of health, and the transition that takes place in a person’s body when they choose to purify the way they, think, live and eat.
The idea of the irises as indicators of potential illness isn’t a fad born of the New Age movement. Iridology’s roots date back more than 2,000 years. But the practice went through its own Dark Age, and much of its wisdom was lost amidst historic turmoil. Modern Iridology has its origins in 19th century Europe and an 11-year-old boy.
As a child, the Hungarian physician Ignatz von Peczley wrestled with an owl in his backyard and accidently broke the bird’s leg. He noticed that the iris of the owl’s eye had developed a dark stripe where there was none before. Intrigued, he wondered if this phenomenon would happen in people too. While he was working in a hospital, Dr. von Peczley observed the same occurrence in his patients and began to make detailed drawings of their eyes- the basis for many of todays iris charts.
While von Peczley is considered the father of Iridology, Dr. Jensen is credited with keeping the practice alive in America. He launched his career as a chiropractor in 1929 and later became one of the country’s leading nutritionists. A devout advocate of studying the iris, he developed a comprehensive eye chart that was the prominent one for decades. He kept the Iridology message alive when allopathic medicine was pushing holistic therapies aside.
Objective: This prospective case-control study aimed to investigate the value of iridology as a diagnostic tool in detecting some common cancers.
Subjects: One hundred ten (110) subjects were enrolled in the study: 68 subjects had histologically proven cancers of the breast, ovary, uterus, prostate, or colorectum, and 42 were control subjects.
Methods: All subjects were examined by an experienced practitioner of iridology, who was unaware of their gender or medical details. He was allowed to suggest up to five diagnoses for each subject and his results were then compared with each subject’s medical diagnosis to determine the accuracy of iridology in detecting malignancy.
Results: Iridology identified the correct diagnosis in only 3 cases (sensitivity, 0.04).
Conclusion: Iridology was of no value in diagnosing the cancers investigated in this study.

An evaluation of iridology
A. Simon, D. M. Worthen and J. A. Mitas 2nd
Iridology is an analysis of health based on examination of the iris of the eye. One hundred forty-three patients had photographs taken of both eyes. Nine-five patients were free of kidney disease, defined as a creatinine level of less than 1.2 mg/dL (mean, 0.8 mg/dL), and 48 had kidney disease severe enough to raise the plasma creatinine level to 1.5 mg/dL or greater (mean, 6.5 mg/dL). Three ophthalmologists and three iridologists viewed the slides in a randomized sequence without knowledge of the number of patients in the two categories or any information about patient history. Iridology had no clinical or statistically significant ability to detect the presence of kidney disease. Iridology was neither selective nor specific, and the likelihood of correct detection was statistically no better than chance.

Rayid Types & Temperaments:
Jewel-mental type (Choleric) or (Red personality in Color Code)
Dot-like freckles or pigments in the iris indicate a logical thinking, intellectual person. Mental types direct their perceptions and feelings through internal thought & analysis. They tend to control themselves, situations, and other people making it a struggle to connect or relate well to others. Precise verbal communicators, they show little emotion and use few, pointed gestures. Often intense, these deliberate, quietly driven people enjoy setting and obtaining goals. They take in information visually, which is the Jewel’s primary mode of learning. Jewels like to watch, read and observe. They take information in through their eyes, process it, categorize it, name it, think of it, and then explain it verbally. They are usually precise, verbal communicators. In other words, Jewels respond well to visual impression, while being adept at verbal expression. The Jewel temperament is perceptive and inquisitive. Combining well defined views, an attention to detail, and a commanding presence they excel as leaders, managers, business owners, teachers, critics and scientists. Mental types learn visually and enjoy aesthetics and a sharp image/appearance. At times, their self-control and mental capabilities can give them the appearance of being aloof or self-righteous. Jewels seek freedom and resent being controlled in any way. Some Jewels even refuse to wear seat-belts, because they are repelled by the feeling of constriction. They tend to find their freedom in abstract thinking. They abhor systems and organized structure (unless they themselves have created them), and have a tendency to uproot structures. They usually have a great need to be right, to interrupt, and to have the final word. At times, their self-control and mental capabilities can give them the appearance of being aloof or self-righteous. Jewels seek freedom and resent being controlled in any way. They can sometimes be slow and rigid to accept new ideas. They are motivated to achieve and to gain the acknowledgement of others. When balanced, the mental types can contribute great clarity and wisdom to a social or work situation. Learning to flow with situations and to trust other people enables Jewels to better express their feelings and helps them to attain their long-term goals. Their primary love language or expression is task and service oriented. Needing release from their control, they attract emotional types for balance; or until balance is found within.
Flower-emotional type (Melancholy) or (Blue personality in Color Code)
Distinctly rounded openings in the iris similar to flower petals, identify an emotional type person. Feeling oriented, with passion, fire and grace they experience life thru the sensitivities and feelings of the heart. Flexible, spontaneous and changeable, they flow easily and most naturally with social situations. Superior visual communicators, animated and expressive, they generate excitement and enjoy being on display. Living for the moment, their interest and enthusiasm is often short-lived. Flowers like to be organized, but have difficulty sticking with any system for long. Lords of creative abundance using the creative, feeling and imaginative mind, they excel as artists, musicians and engineers. When out of balance, Flowers can easily become upset, emotionally directing anger outward and blaming others for their misfortune. When they blame themselves, the feeling can be so strong that they get depressed. Flowers are often distracted in their minds, though unaware of it. When they focus on being in their body, Flowers can experience great joy. When expressing their true inner nature, Flowers are poised and open. As perfectionist, they need order and sensitivity to experience true fulfillment. Flowers need to learn to trust themselves and their own abilities, to accept responsibility for events, and to take responsibility for the consequences of their words, behaviors and actions. In order to fulfill their desires and to succeed, Flowers must learn to focus their energies. The biggest fear for a Flower is being abandoned or alone. They are also highly sensitive to being controlled. Flowers can have difficulty feeling complete and have a profound sense of aloneness at times. This can lead to displays of emotionally manipulative behavior. Emotional types learn auditorilly, which is also how they communicate. They express and reciprocate love using verbal communication and praise. Flowers need regular periods of rest, in order to overcome their self-induced states of exhaustion and depletion. When Flowers do take time to be still, a kaleidoscope of inner feelings can fill their mind, and they once again bubble forth with a newly discovered wave of enthusiasm. Needing discipline or control, they are attracted to logical-mental types to learn balance; or until otherwise learned and developed on their own.
Stream-kinesthetic type (Phlegmatic) or (White personality in Color Code)
A uniform fiber structure with subtle variations or streaks of color suggests a kinesthetic type personality. These physical/tactile people perceive and integrate life thru the sensory experience of their bodies through touch, and are more sensitive to somatosensory information such as bodily sensations. People with this iris type are physically and intuitively sensitive. Automatically receptive to others and their environment, their body acts as a receptacle for all that happens around them. The slightest change in vibration is immediately felt. Streams are like walking radar, always being “touched” by things and people around them. Although they have a heightened sensitivity, Streams tend to control subtle physical reactions through stillness. Streams have a way of holding the world together. By nature, they are intuitive, grounded and amiable. Streams learn best when given the opportunity to experience lessons through movement or by doing. With true empathy, they nurture and balance others as true peace makers. Intuitive, yet grounded, they mediate and unify extremist personalities. Excessive sensitivity can lead to feeling helplessly overwhelmed. Communicating and learning by and through touch/movement, they tend to be naturals in athletics, dance, health care, counselors, massage therapists, social work, hands-on therapies, and in public service. Kinesthetic types can also learn through imitation, visually and auditorilly. Their uninhibited transfer of energy fosters mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing in those around them. This kinesthetic-type can provide a sense of belonging, a sense of nurturing, a sense of motherhood. Their presence often evokes the feeling of being gently held or soothed. When a Stream feels that s/he belongs, others around them experience a sense of relaxation. If a person with a Stream structure becomes fearful or reactive, their attentions can become overprotective or stifling, instead of comfortably soothing and containing. Their strong sense of connection with others can produce confusion about their own identity, self-worth or purpose in life. When Streams are balanced, they bring integrity, stability and harmony to relationships and social situations. Streams or Phlegmatic types want to feel respected and worth-while. Needing expansiveness from their routine lifestyles, routine ways of thinking and their comfort-zones, they attract extremists for balance and excitement; until otherwise developed within themselves.
Shaker-extremist type (Sanguine) or (Yellow personality in Color Code)
Dot-like pigments with rounded openings like small flower petals indicate an extremist type nature. With elements of both the Jewel and the Flower in their makeup, they unifying both hemisphere’s of the brain, with right-emotional and left-mental traits, communication modes and personality characteristics. These dynamic, progressive people venture beyond the limits of conventional thoughts and action. Shakers are highly motivated, passionate, dynamic and expressive. These radical, action-oriented people have difficulty sitting still, and frequently venture beyond the limits of conventional thought and norms. They possess a tenacity that drives them to press on against all odds. Pioneering types, typically at the forefront of change and innovation, Shakers challenge life with abandon and zeal, struggling with commitment and stability. These types do not often settle or find contentment naturally; as they put their attentions in multiple places at once. Acting as the conscience of society, they often stand alone, sometimes attracting ridicule from their peers. They are driven to achieve yet ungrounded as they experience cycles of success and failure. Frequently devoted to a cause, and when finding fulfillment, may transform areas of non-commitment with devoted loyalty. When they get overly excited, Shakers easily become scattered. This is when their intense energy can turn back on itself. They can become self-destructive, with a tendency to addiction. Their enthusiasm and desire to change the world can become obsessive, to the point of using blame to motivate others. Shakers rarely take a neutral stance on anything. Shakers learn best physically, while in motion (through the movement of their bodies, or when multi-tasking), or when being touched. They have a strong intuitive sense. Shakers communicate primarily by movement and gesture. Shakers can be the embodiment of ecstasy, joy and thankfulness, bringing feelings of exhilaration and excitement to any project they are involved in. People are initially attracted to Shakers because of their energy and conviction. However, they can be difficult to relate to over time because they are always in motion and frequently change their focus. They dislike confinement and resent any form of systematic control. Shakers have a strong sense of purpose and direction and can be inspiring leaders and motivators, raising one’s consciousness about a cause or bringing a sense of purpose to a project. Their task in society is to expand the limits of humanity’s self-imposed barriers and to pierce through the shield of traditional values. They usually have a strong affinity for nature and the outdoors, where the physical connection with their environment increases their intuitive intake. Adventurous, they are motivated by fun and freedom and excel as inventors, motivators, entrepreneurs and explorers. They need the attention and approval of others to feel loved. Learning through touch/movement, they communicate and express through action. Learning moderation and consistency enables a Shaker to manifest change with stability. Shakers nonetheless place their life goals uppermost on their list of priorities. They want their partners to be supportive of those goals. Their perfectionism and demanding nature can make Shakers quite challenging as long-term partners. Needing equilibrium for balance they are attracted to kinesthetic stream types for this balance; or until gained it’s within themselves. There is much for a Shaker to gain from the stillness and groundedness that a Stream partner can bring to their life.
Stream/Flower Combination (Phlegmatic/Melancholy) or (White/Blue)
A kinesthetic type with some uniform fiber structures with subtle variations or streaks and a few curved openings or wavy fibers that enhance the emotional traits indicate a stream/flower personality. Physically vital, compassionate and responsive, these types circulate with quiet ease bringing comfort or stimulation, intuitively knowing what is needed and that they can offer both. Reaching out with tenderhearted calm, they can touch others deeply just with their presence. Needing to learn detachment will allay confusion or self-doubt in over-empathizing with others.
iridology
Shaker/Flower Combination (Sanguine/Melancholy) or (Yellow/Blue)
Characteristics of the Shaker/Flower, they possess curved, flower petal openings and dot-like pigments which represents an emotional, expressive, extremist-radical, passionate, visionary, dynamic and animated person. They motivate with inspiration, creativity and compassion facilitating group-mind dynamics. With the tendencies toward many emotional highs and lows, they need to learn self-discipline and control, proper use of individual power to prevent overly dominating, and focused attention. These dynamic and energetic individuals learn auditorilly and through the use of body experience. They communicate both verbally and visually with synergy and animation. They are detailed, compulsive and methodical in their adaptive abilities. They tend to be closer to male figures (father/brother) and have a greater struggle with female figures (mother/sister) that are close to them. They are especially afraid of abandonment, separation and suffocation. They are playful and enjoy being leaders or center of attention, and social entertainment. They are attracted to Stream/Jewel combinations for relationship balance, and will become most imbalanced when selfish or blaming. When practicing self-control in various areas, they will find their greatest ecstasy.
Shaker/Stream Combination (Sanguine/ Phlegmatic) or (Yellow/White)
With wavy uniform fiber structures with subtle variations indicates a Shaker/Stream combination kinesthetic/extremist personality. This individuals find themselves at the forefront of balance as an opposite type combination. The qualities of the stream enhances the still nature and somatosensory sensitivities. The qualities of the shaker describe an action and movement oriented individual, making a balanced nature. The social characteristics of the shaker and sanguine suggests a synergistic quality that thrives on company and attention of others who is running around spreading joy, while the stream/phlegmatic ensures peace, quiet and time for needed relaxation. They need a sense of discipline where conventional systems are concerned. They may struggle with cravings toward entrepreneurialism, yet desire the stability of a secure job working for others. The stream/phlegmatic wants to maintain a peaceful nature and will compromise principles to avoid a potential problem. They’re underlying needs are gaining the approval of others and being peacemakers. They most fear conflict and not feeling understood and appreciated. When they feel valued and maintain a life of balance, they will reach their greatest levels of bliss and harmony. They are often attracted to Shaker/Streams or Sanguine/Phlegmatic types for relationships, and synchronize best with Stream/Flower or Phlegmatic/Melancholy types to compliment one another’s personalities and remain in balance.
Shaker/Jewel Combination (Sanguine/Choleric) or (Yellow/Red)
An extremist type structure with predominately dot-like pigments and wavy fiber structures with subtle variations accents their mental characteristics. Tenacious, intense, self-reliant, individualistic and strong-willed these synergistic communicators are leaders of progressive thought or directed action. Delegating responsibility and staying grounded while surrendering to their inner guidance aids in their realization of the goals they crave. They are active, productive and achievement oriented and externalizes their thoughts, yet they often hide their true feelings to avoid vulnerability. Without the release of open, honest communication they can become stagnant or restless and untrue to their true identity. They can be impatient, demanding and often overextend themselves. They need to learn introspection to find true peace of mind. They attract Stream/Flowers or Phlegmatic/Melancholy types for mate relationships for balance.
