What is iridology?

A Naturopath can interpret health by looking closely at the iris which can help pinpoint problems in the body. How you digest the food you eat, your organs, even your mental and emotional state record themselves in the iris, the coloured part of the eye.

Iridology is the practice which involves correlating the colour, markings and patterns of the iris to the many organs of the body. The iris contains hundreds of thousands of nerve endings, which are attached to the optic nerve, the base of the brain, and all the tissues of the body.

By studying the eye, iridologists can see a patient's overall health, as well as their weaknesses. With this technique, the eye is the gateway to the body whereby its condition reflects the overall condition of the patient.

A sign such as a skin disorder may not be a problem with the skin, it may relate to organs such as the liver or kidneys. The iris can unobtrusively discover where a person’s health problems originate. Iridologists can then tailor treatment to suit the needs of each individual.

Not only is iridology a way of discovering where a person’s health problem lies, it can also pick up irritation, inflammation and tissue damage in the body before serious ill health arises, even before a person feels a symptom.

Cleansing and healing in the body can also be verified from changes in the iris.
