Iridology & Iriscopes

What is Iridology?

Iridology is the study of the iris of the eye.

There are many theories on how Iridology indicates what is going on in the body. To understand the theories you may also want to research reflexology, acupressure and acupuncture

One is a theory that there are hundreds of thousands of nerves or energies running from every tissue and organ of the body, ending in the tips of your fingers and toes as well as the iris of your eyes. That is why stubbing your toes hurts more than the same impact on the leg.

Nature is somewhat constant. Most people know that when the roots of a plant have been injured or aren\'t receiving the nutrients or moisture that they need, the first signs of the decline in the health of the plant will be found in the outer most part of the leaves.

Apply that to the nerve endings that are running throughout your body. If, for instance, your pancreas has been damaged or lacking a nutrient or is in poor health, the first sign of the decline in the health of the pancreas will be found in the outermost part of the nerve endings, many which end in the iris of the eye.

Though exact neurological mechanics of the phenomenon is not fully understood, it seems that when an organ or body system is in poor health the nerve running from that body part will start to recede, somewhat like a leaf wilts. When it does, it draws with it various degrees of the layers of fibers which make up the color of the iris of the eyes, leaving darkened marks called lesions.

Another part of Iridology can be better understood by comparing it to sediment in a stream. The water carries sediment for the most part down the stream and deposits it at the mouth.

When there are impurities or foreign particles in the blood, they are carried and deposited in the iris of the eye. The color of the deposit tells which gland or organ the sedimentation originates. For instance, brown is excess impurities (usually drugs) that the liver cannot filter out of the blood.

Some other deposits that form in the eye indicate aluminum (associated with Alzheimer\'s), cholesterol, unutilized chromium and sodium, or toxins which could lead to cancer.

The reading of the iris by a competent Iridologist is very accurate and accompanying questions can often tell what is going on in the body even before symptoms start.
