Iridology is the science and practice that allows a practitioner the ability to locate inflammation in the body and detect what stage it is manifesting. The iris reflects the body’s constitution, inherent weaknesses, levels of health and the transitions that take place in a person’s body as a result of their lifestyle choices.
Iridology is the science of analyzing the delicate structure of the iris. The iris is the colored portion of the eye. Under magnification, it reveals minute details representing the entire body. Manifestations in and about the eyes have been used for many years to gain insight into a person’s state of health.
Iridology as a form of analysis, along with other diagnostic techniques have been used by practitioners to facilitate a more complete comprehension of their patient’s health care needs.
HOW IT WORKS?
The Iris is an extension of the brain. It contains hundreds of thousands of nerve endings, microscopic blood vessels, muscle and other tissues. The iris and every organ in the body are connected by way of the brain and nervous system. Think of this system as a television screen viewing the most remote portions of the body by way of the nerve reflex responses.
We have over 150 years of collected empirical data to know that the information we have to date is reliable for the majority of normally organized human beings. Different tools are used for observation. Some practitioners use a handheld, lighted scope, while others use an iriscope or specialty camera. I prefer to use both. I do not rely only on this modality as a means of analysis, but use it to complement a very thorough and complex initial evaluation.
