What is Iridology? Iridology is a scientific analysis of patterns and structures in the iris of the eye, locating areas and stages of inflammation throughout the body. The iris is the portion of the eye showing colour. It reveals body constitution, inherent strengths and weaknesses, and health levels, and transitions that take place in a person’s body according to their way of life.
How does it work?
The complex iris is composed of hundreds of thousands of nerve endings which are connected by impulses to every tissue of the body through the brain and nervous system. The nerve fibres, or trabecula, respond specifically to tissue and organ conditions, with a corresponding physiological reflex manifested in the iris as lesions and colour variations. The iris chart - the result of many years of clinical observation and intensive research by Dr. Bernard Jensen and others – represents the basic placement of body organs and tissues similar to a map. An accurate iris analysis is possible by superimposing the chart over an iris image projection, allowing detailed observation of the valuable and reliable data recorded there.
Iridology will not show or name a specific disease but provides information about the body tissues which indicate tendencies toward conditions of “dis-ease’, often before symptoms appear. Iridology will not reveal surgery performed under anaesthesia as nerve impulses are discontinued. Iridology cannot locate parasites, gallstones, or germ life, but will indicate the presence of inflammation and toxic conditions which are a refuge for their development. It will not show pregnancy, as that is a normal function of the female.
How can it help me? Iridology is potentially an integral part of preventative healthcare. It has the ability to forewarn of approaching difficulties, or signs of ‘dis-ease’.
Iridology can be powerful, allowing one to determine what is transpiring inside the body from a simple, painless and economical vantage point. In effect, iridology will reveal how well your body functions.
Improper nutrition and lack of exercise undermines the body’s integrity until eventually it becomes unable to reverse damaging toxic conditions through its own natural self-healing mechanisms, becoming susceptible to ailments of a chronic nature. Therefore, nutrition and iridology are inseparable in one’s pursuit of a healthy way of life and holistic health care programme.
Iridology helps us understand our weakness so we may strengthen and cleanse our bodies to obtain our maximum health potential. It brings to us an awareness of how to prevent illness, thus allowing us to earn our most precious earthly treasure – vibrant physical, mental and spiritual health!
