Learn How The Ancient Science of Iridology Is Making a Big Comeback in Natural Healing

With the rise of modern medicine and new technologies, we would expect people’s health to improve and see a thriving society.  Instead, we see the opposite.  People are sicker, more stressed, and more depressed than ever before.  Thankfully, there has been a shift of consciousness and a growing interest in natural healing to bring balance back to people’s lives.  Yoga, meditation, proper diet and nutrition are gaining popularity more than ever before.

All of these simple but powerful modalities have been around for centuries.  Along with these, the science of the iris of the eye, or Iridology, is also making a comeback.

Iridology is a valuable assessment tool that has been in use for thousands of years.  Long before the rise of modern medicine in ancient Egypt, India and China, it was recorded that certain patterns could be seen in the eye that reveals information about the health of the individual.  It has since evolved into a formal science with precise charts created by European and American doctors in the 1800’s and early 1900’s.

WHAT IS IRIDOLOGY?

Iridology is the science of the iris, or colored portion, of the eye.  The reading involves looking at the color, variations of color, and fiber structure within the iris.  The eye is connected to every organ and tissue of the body by way of the brain and central nervous system through the optic nerve. The optic nerve connects to the central nervous system (CNS) which is the main communication link to everything that goes on in the body.
Think of your brain as your body’s ‘hard drive;’ it remembers everything that ever happened to your body. Your iris is then like the ‘file folder.’ So ‘reading’ the iris to find out what is going on in the body is similar to how one reads a computer screen to access what’s in a computer.
In Iridology, we are always looking at the body as a whole, taking into account that a problem with one organ in the body will affect every other organ in the body.  Modern medicine separates each organ in the body and defines ‘symptoms’ instead.  In looking in the eye, we can view all body systems and organs at once, including circulatory, gastro-intestinal, glandular, skeletal, neurological, muscular and reproductive systems.  It is a completely non-invasive tool, results in no trauma to the body and can provide a wealth of information and understanding.

IS IRIDOLOGY FOR YOU?

Iridology is a tool to assess where inherent strengths and deficiencies are located within the body; however, it does not give solutions as such. It is important to note that Iridology cannot diagnose disease. Do not expect an Iridologist to confirm or deny any diseases you think you may have, but do expect to have a thorough understanding of how your body works and why you may not be experiencing the level of health which you desire. In that regard, Iridology is good for everyone because having a better understanding of your body is key to making the right decisions for a healthy lifestyle. Ultimately the goal is to prevent any major illness or dis-ease in the body and have longevity and vitality for a good, healthy life!
