In iridology, the irises of the eyes are seen as a map through
which and observer can determine the health or weakness
of the various systems of the body. Areas of the iris correspond
to inner organs and functions of the body. Many healthcare
professionals use iridology as an additional tool for diagnosis.
Iridology is based on the premise that every organ has a
corresponding location within the iris of the eye, which
can serve as an indicator of the individual organ's health
or disease.
The practitioner
studies the eye, its textures, pigmentation and changes
in the iris structure as it pertains to your health. The
iris reveals inherent characteristics of tissues, metabolic
and nutritional imbalances, various stages of inflammation
and general health level. Nerve filaments in the iris receive
impressions from every organ of the body via the autonomic
and cerebrospinal nervous systems. Changes in the body chemistry
disturb the process by which iris color is maintained. Discoloration
appears as a sign before any clinical change in the blood
or urine chemistry. Iridology is used by natruopaths and
other practitioners, particularly when diagnosis achieved
through standard methods is unclear.
