Iridology can be
defined as the science of
studying and analyzing the signs in the iris.
Iridology is a
non-invasive diagnostic technique that
provides a trained practitioner with
important information
of a patient’s overall state of health and strengths
and
weaknesses. It
reveals each individual’s genetic make-up.
The ability to view
not only the quality of the connective
tissue of the iris, but also the
functioning of the nervous
systems, makes iridology an extremely powerful
tool.
Any change in the body’s
functions, or any
disturbance in homeostasis can be seen and
interpreted through iridology.
The tissue changes
that take place in the body makes iridology
an especially
valuable tool in the treatment of
chronic disease.
The signs
in the iris reflect the genetic inherited
pattern in constitutions, together
with structural,
colour and neurological changes that occur within
the iris over
a period of time.
These
signs may indicate abnormal tissue conditions.

How does Iridology work?
Landmark signs and the density of
fibres in relation to
the
over-all constitution are studied. Every landmark sign
has its own unique
history and the Iridologist reads and
considers the many possible
inherent, reflex, chemical, nerve
and mental interactions of each system in the
individual.
A trained practitioner uses iridology to gain an insight
into the
whole picture before determining the cause
behind the problem.
Iridology cannot determine
disease; instead it is used
to recognizes the individual constitution, inherent
strengths
and weaknesses, toxins and their location,
poor waste clearance, inflammation,
biochemical
deficiencies and the general health of the individual.
The
Iridologist can detect signs of biochemical and
physiological needs and changes
in the body long before the
appearance of symptoms, thus enabling the practitioner to
prevent disease before it can manifest.

Where does Iridology come
from?
In the early 1800’s a Hungarian physician by the
name of Ignatz von Peczely had an experience as
a child where he saw strange markings in the iris
of an injured owl. Later on as a practicing physician
he recalled this experience and
started observing
his patients' eyes, carefully documenting all his
observations.
In the mid 1800’s, a Swedish doctor by the name
of Nils Liljequest also
documented his observations.
At about the same time a German practitioner –
Pastor Emanuel Felke developed his skills in iris
diagnosis.
Emanuel Felke’s
contribution to iridology was
extensive. His work was documented and furthered
by his students since 1857 right up to today. Due
to his work, the Felke
Institute was established by
Dr Willy Hauser in the late 1900’s.
In America Dr Henry Lane and Dr Henry Lindlahr
documented and published their
work in the early
1900’s. Out of their work the Lindlahr College was
born.
The most prominent influence on international
iridology during the 1980's came from Bernard
Jensen. He traveled and taught iridology all over
the world.
Today John Andrews is one of the most
prominent Iridology researchers in the world.
His work is rapidly opening up new paths of
discovery in the exciting field of Iridology. |
