Iridology

Iridology is a method of diagnosing physical or mental disorders from signs in the eye. This method was inaugurated by Ingatz von Peczely, a Prussian surgeon in the early 1800's. Dr. Bernard Jensen pioneered the science of iridology in North America, he developed one of the most comprehensive iris charts showing the location of the organs as they reflex in the iris of the eye. His chart is still the most accurate one available today.

 

Iridology (also known as iridodiagnosis) is an alternative medicine technique whose proponents believe that patterns, colors, and other characteristics of the iris can be examined to determine information about a patient's systemic health. Practitioners match their observations to iris charts which divide the iris into zones corresponding to specific parts of the human body. Iridologists see the eyes as "windows" into the body's state of health.

 

Iridologists use the charts to distinguish between healthy systems and organs in the body and those which are overactive, inflamed, or distressed. Iridologists believe this information may be used to demonstrate a patient's susceptibility towards certain illnesses, to reflect past medical problems, or to predict later consequences of health problems which may be developing.

 

As it is not a method of treatment but a diagnostic tool, its practitioners often study other branches of alternative medicine, such as naturopathy.

 

How Can Iridology Help You?

 

The iris records information about the state and functioning of every organ in the body as well as levels of inflammation and toxicity. This enables the underlying cause of the symptoms we may experience to be detected and removed. The greatest advantage of iridology over other forms of health screening is that changes appear in the iris before the physical symptoms actually develops. Therefore, preventive action may be taken to improve health and avoid those diseases which might otherwise follow.

 

Iridology does NOT reveal specific pathology (medical diseases) because many diseases create similar changes in the body tissues; rather it reflects hereditary tendencies and the condition of the tissues (i.e. inflammation, acidity, toxicity, congested lymph, and hardening of the arteries). Iridology is therefore not concerned with specific symptoms, but with the restoration and maintenance of health by building up the body's immunity and healing ability.
