WHAT IS IRIDOLOGY?

Iridology is a quick, accurate, non-invasive and painless system of health analysis throught the examination of the coloured part of the eye, known as the iris.

Proclaimed throughout the ages as "windows to the soul", the eyes are now acknowledged as mirrors of the body.  We are discovering that the eye works two ways; not only does it enable us to bring images of the outside world -within, it also shows images of what is within--to the outside.

 

HOW DID IT DEVELOP?

Reference to the eye's value in health assessment can be traced back to numerous ancient scriptures, including the Bible.  "The light of the body is in the eye, if the eye is sound, the body is sound" (Matt:6-22).  However, clinical Iridology began with a Hungarian medical doctor in the latter nineteenth century named Dr. Ignatz Von Pezcely.

Whist still a child, Pezcely was grappling with an owl in his garden.  During the struggle he accidentally broke the owl's leg, and as the two glared into each other's eyes, he noticed a black streak instantaneously appear at 6 o'clock in the owl's iris.  He nursed the owl back to health and noticed the streak gradually disappear. 

Pezcely grew up to become a medical doctor.  One day a patient with a broken leg consulted him.  To his amazement, Pezcely saw a black streak at the position of 6 o'clock in the man's eye!

He then examined all of his patient's eyes and found a relationship between the markings in their eyes and their health conditions.

 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The iris is the most complex tissue of the body meeting the outside world.  It is an extension of the brain, being endowed with hundreds of nerve endings, microscopic blood vessels, muscle, and connective tissue.  Every organ of the body is connected to the iris via the nervous system.  The nerve fibres receiving their impulses by way of optic nerve, optic thalami, and the spinal cord.

 

HOW CAN IRIDOLOGY HELP YOU?

The iris records information about the state and functioning of every organ and system in the body, as well as levels of inflammation and toxicity.  This enables the underlying cause of symptoms we may experience to be detected and removed. 

The greatest feature and main advantage of iridology over other forms of health screening is that changes appear in the iris BEFORE we feel any symptoms, and therefore preventative action may be taken to improve health and avoid those diseases which might otherwise follow.

Iridology does NOT reveal specific pathology (medically named diseases), because many diseases create similar changes in body tissue. 

The iris reflects the condition of the tissues: (Inflammation, acidity, toxicity, congested lymph, hardening of the arteries, etc)  Iridology is therefore, not concerned with named diseases, but with the restoration and maintenance of Health through building up the patient's immunity and Vitality.
