Iridology uses the shapes in and of the physical iris fibers and the bio-chemical pigmentation of the irises to discern the health and balance of the body.  It is a method for understanding the living interrelationships that comprise the physical system. Understanding how the body functions as a whole, how the various organ systems and tissues interact with one another, and how shifts and changes in the “parts,” affect the balance and health of the whole, provides a better understanding of how health is more effectively achieved and maintained.

Practical Iris Analysis reveals our present health concerns in relation to our physical and to some extent psycho-emotional history.  Revealing inherited health challenges, it likewise shows the consequences of lifestyle choices, “good” or “bad,” and injuries that we have endured.  Since the irises are not isolated from the body they can display conditions before exterior symptoms appear.  

IRIDOLOGY reveals:

• Individual constitutional characteristics – vitality, stamina, and recuperative ability.
• “Weak links” that surface in times of excessive stress and/or strain.
• Areas of congestion, blockage, and toxic accumulation.
• The state of digestion, nutrient assimilation, elimination, systemic hyper-acidity, and/or excessive systemic mucus.
• Organ enervation or hyper-activity.  
• Nerve tension, areas of distress, hormonal imbalance, and health of the glands.
• The integrity of heart, circulation,  and lymphatic congestion.
• Psychological dynamics associated with the individual constitution and more.

Iris analysis reveals hypo and hyper activity within our various tissues, or “constipated” and “inflamed” conditions.  More important the eyes show the relationships between organs & systems, indicating how stagnation /”hypo” and/or inflammation /”hyper” conditions interrelate and ultimately result in external well being or discomfort (“dis-ease”).  While a health challenge can produce a variety of general symptoms, iridology may more effectively reveal the actual cause because it takes the whole internal environment into consideration.  

The irises DO NOT show “disease” in the body.  A “disease” is simply the term or “label” created and applied to a specific group of symptoms by a doctor or the medical profession. The “naming” of conditions is the exclusive right of medicine – for better or worse. Again, the irises reveal hypo and hyper conditions.  The naming of a “condition” is unnecessary in preventative health.  

Through appreciating the interrelation-ships of both the systems of the body and their conditions a person can more easily correct the appropriate lifestyle factors.  Health is a lifestyle and matter of choice.  As we take responsibility for our health we move beyond the numerous germ, bacterial, and viral “boogey men” so often blamed for “dis-ease” and move to an experience of self-reliance and greater wholistic health.

Practical Iris Analysis is wholistic, non-invasive, non-toxic, and educational.  It can provide key information for preventative health care.  Each iris is divided into 90 different areas relating to the organs and tissues of the body.  These include digestion and elimination, circulation, respiration, the nervous system and brain, and so on. Similarly, the irises are divided into zones that correspond with levels of depth, from deep within the body out to the skin.   

An analysis involves two sessions.  With the first an intake form is filled out and 3 to 4 photos are taken of each iris.  Assessing the photos takes a couple days. The second session is for the consultation to go over the analysis, lasting an hour and a half to two hours.  Written notes are provided (generally 10-12 pages).  The analysis focuses on three primary areas of concern indicated in the eyes.  Recommendations are made addressing lifestyle changes, nutritional options, and herbal or other natural supplements.

We cannot look in the irises of the eyes without seeing the “wholeness” of who we are.  It is through the irises that light literally enters the body showing our relationship to both the world within and that outside of us. It is through our eyes that we gain the ‘illumination’ of awareness and learn what is necessary for our healing, growth, and ultimate health.
