All About Iridology
What is Iridology or Iris analysis?
Iridology is the scientific analysis of patterns and structures in the iris of the eye which locates areas and stages of inflammation throughout the body. The iris is the portion of the eye showing color. It reveals body constitution, inherent strengths and weaknesses, health levels, and transitions that take place in a person’s body according to their way of life. it is very much helping tool of diagnosis as per the medical science of Electrohomoeopathy and Naturopathy.
How did it originate?
In the 1800’s, a young boy, Ignatz Von Peczely, happened to catch an owl in his garden. The boy clearly saw a black line rising in the owl’s eye after accidentally breaking its leg during the struggle. He kept the bird until it had regained its health and then observed the appearance of crocked white lines across the black area in the owl’s eye. Von Peczely later became a physician and had the opportunity to study the irises of many patients. He grew certain that there existed a reflex relationship between tissue changes in the body and iris markings and developed the first iris chart, which has been continually researched and revised over the years.
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 fibers, or trabecula, respond specifically to tissue and organ conditions with a corresponding physiological reflex manifested in the iris as lesions and color variations. The iris chart, which is 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.
What will it show?
A complete iris analysis will show whether a person exhibits a generally good constitution or a poor one, depending upon the density of the iris fibers, the patterns, structures, colors and degrees of lightness and darkness in the iris tell if an area of the body is inherently strong or weak. It also reveals the relative site of over-activity, irritation, injury or degeneration of the tissues and organs. Toxic accumulation levels can he observed as well as nutritional and chemical imbalances.
What will it not show?
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 anesthesia 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 body.
How can it help you?
Iridology is potentially an integral part of preventive health care. It has the ability to forewarn of approaching difficulties or signs of “dis-ease”. Iridology can be a powerful tool, allowing one to determine what is transpiring inside the body from a simple, painless, and economical external 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 program. 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! Modern doctors usually can’t tell you the score until the game’s over–until you actually have a nameable disease–but iridology lets you walk in at the first inning–and that’s why it will probably play a staffing role in preventative medicine at the bioelectric level, which is well on its way to becoming the medicine of the future.
Pathology Versus Iridodiagnosis
From the perspective of health, it is important to clarify two points about the iris. First, sometimes iridological diagnosis, or iridodiagnosis, is seen as a synonym of medical diagnosis, but in reality, as you will soon discover, iridology has nothing to do with the traditional medical concept of pathology. That concept, which originated in the period of Linnaeus, is defined as an intelligent classification of the signs and symptoms of a disease. However, since the body does not understand these types of classifications, a direct relationship between the iris and what is known as pathology does not exist. Iridology studies the reactions of a person in relation to their genetics. In other words, it concerns itself with the individual person, and not so much with the disease itself though that does not mean that a group of iridology signs does not correspond to certain clinical signs (for illnesses such as leprosy, rheumatism, sarcoidosis, etc.). Second, we must note that observation of the iris is fundamentally subject to the interpretation of the observer. This marks a clear difference from medical diagnosis, where the data obtained from an analysis, CATscans, or X-rays is assessed directly and the resulting numbers or images (the number of red blood cells, an image of pleurisy or fracture, etc.) provide the relevant information. In the case of iridology, as in all reflexologies, the iris is subject to the interpretation of the reflexive signs that are observed. The signs are not a part of the pathology, but they allow us to deduce, for example, the strength or vulnerability of the organ systems, vicariation of functions, or predispositions. In this sense, the experience of the therapist is essential; in an empirical system such as this, if a therapist is very experienced, the therapeutic observations and recommendations he or she makes will be better and more accurate, as will be the assistance he or she is able to render. Thus, we can say that iridology is a bloodless empirical system that lets us redirect our lives in terms of personal, dietary, or physical behaviours, and if we feel ill, it lets us identify the most effective natural therapy for us. Iridology is an indisputable reference system for both naturopathy, homeopathy and Electrohomoeopathy. People have a basic constitution that makes them more fit for one type of lifestyle than another. Without a doubt, learning about our inherent behavioural and physiological reactions through observation of the iris lets us get the most out of our existence and helps us live life to the fullest.
