What is Iridology?

Modern iridology dates back to the 17th century, but its roots are earlier and the skill was used by Hippocrates
the Ancient Babylonians (the latter left iris markings on stone 1000BC), so it is not a new diagnostic tool.
Iridology is the study of the iris of the eye and helps determine what is occurring inside the body using a
simple, painless, and non-invasive technique. It reveals body constitution, inherent strengths and weaknesses,
health levels, and acquired traits that take place due to lifestyle choices. It also reveals the relative site of
over/under-activity, irritation, injury or degeneration of the tissues and organs.

In brief, the iris is structured as follows: the right eye reflects the right hand side of the body; the left eye the left hand side of the body; the bottom half of the eye reflects the lower half of the body; and the upper section of the eye the upper torso and above. The iris is composed of numerous fibres that radiate out from the pupil. These fibres take on different structures and shapes which are reflective of what is going on in the body. General health status can be determined through observing these fibre structures, as well as colouring, and deposits in the irises.

The benefits of Iridology:

Iridology will not show or name a specific disease, but it provides information about the body tissues, which indicate tendencies toward conditions of disease, often before symptoms appear. Preventative measures can then be taken to help avert the future manifestation of a disease or illness and to help you eastablish balance in your life, physically and mentallly. Although inherent weaknesses are apparent in an iris their manifestation can potentially be prevented or lessened in severity. Life style and diet are the prime factors that determine a susceptibility to disease.

Approach to treatment

A lens, and camera, will be used to assess your iris, allowing its intricate details to become visible. The lens does not touch the eye and is held a couple of centimetres from the eye. It is a completely pain free experience.

An assessment will be done to ascertain the different structures, marks and deposits in the eye. In light of these findings, tailored nutritional and lifestyle guidelines will be compiled, in order for you to manage your health and maximise your potential wellbeing. A full iridology report can also be generated, including full colour iris pictures.
