Iris Diagnosis

Iris diagnosis uses the structure, colour, and shape of the iris and pupil of the eye to determine an individual’s illness or well being.  The state of the whole body, every organ and body system is reflected in the iris.

IRIDOLOGY is an ancient science, which has gained more recent interest through scientific/medical research, especially in Russia, Germany and the USA.  The birth of modern iridology is said to have been about 1861. 

Have you ever looked at an Iris really close up?  If you have, you’ve probably noticed hills and valleys and dark colours and white lines and many more details.  Iridology uses all of those variations to determine the fitness of every section of the body.

The intimate connection between all parts of the body and this iris is made possible by the nervous systems and its branches supplying the iris.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR IN YOUR EYES?

1.      Structure

Structure is determined by the texture of the iris.  When you look at the iris with a magnifying glass and a small flashlight, you can usually see many hills and valleys with a few deep holes thrown in.  These hills and valleys make up the texture of the iris.  They range on a scale from tightly woven silk to loosely woven gauze (or net).  In health, the iris is composed of densely structured fine, straight lines, radiating from the pupil to the outer rim.  A close grain indicates a strong inherited vitality and good recuperative powers in the case of temporary illness.  If the fibres are loosely spread - the basic health is weak.  In poor health - these lines become separated and distorted, forming various patterns, called markings.  The health level of each individual is basically determined by his physical constitution, which is derived from a combination of genetic factors and living habits.  It’s very difficult to change the texture of the iris.

2.      Problems related to different sectors

The iris is like a map of the body – changes in certain organs are reflected in specific parts of the iris.  The right iris shows the condition of the right side of the body, while the left iris reflects the left side. 

3.      Colours

The actual colours of the eye can give a wealth of information to the observant iridologist.  Eyes are genetically either blue or brown so any variations on that indicate malfunctions.  The degree of variation marks the degree of malfunction.

Different colours and their placement in the iris reflect changes in the body’s capacity to deal with the loading a person places on it.  White sign can mean inflammation, pain, and acid build up.  Yellow-White means it’s losing the battle.  Reddish Brown to Brown means the area is deteriorating.  If it progresses to black, you have dying tissue.  One thing about Iridology, it gives you a chance to know about it before it gets to the point where it has to be cut out. 

4.      Special Signs:

             Radii Solaris

One of the most common is Radii Solaris.  These are like spokes in a wheel spearing out from the intestines to any area on the map.  This is the sign of a toxic or slow-moving bowel.

            Sodium Ring – Cholesterol Ring

Another sign often seen is a Sodium Ring, which is a cloudy white ring around the iris in the circulation zone.  If it is completely around, the problem is quite severe and indicates large deposits of sodium, calcium and other materials in most unwelcome places.

The sign results from chemical imbalances in the body due to an excessive intake of salt and or a condition with high cholesterol or triglycerides in the blood.

It may be associated with hardening of the arteries.

            The Lymphatic Rosary

The Lymphatic Rosary is a ring of small beads circling the iris when complete.  When lymphatic circulation becomes sluggish and congested with toxic wastes, small cloud-like spots appear in the iris.

            Nerve Rings

Nerve Rings are circles or arcs of circles looking as though they were embossed into the fibres of the iris.  The more of these, the more nervous they are.  They show the degree of nerve tension.

            Psoric Spots

Psoric Spots are often inherited spots, which are different from other spots you may see in the eye.  They actually seem to float over the surface of the eye and are more a collection of dots than a single spot.  These spots can be inherited.

            Scurf Rim

The Scurf Rim around the perimeter of the iris provides information about the condition of the skin and the blood vessels just beneath it.
