Iridology
What Is Iridology?
Iridology is the science of studying and analyzing the iris and helps individuals gain valuable insight into their weaknesses and inherited dispositions and can link health issues to the origin.
An Iridology assessment gives a trained iridologist valuable insights into the root causes of ailments, the strengths and weaknesses of all organ systems, and the overall state of health. It also reveals genetic predispositions to certain diseases. One of the key benefits of iridology is its ability to assess vital processes in the body, including those that contribute to disease, like poor waste elimination, as well as those that maintain health, such as proper blood circulation.
Iridology is a non invasive diagnostic tool that a practitioner can use with their experience and put together recommendations of diet or supplements or even lifestyle that will assist the patient going forward.
Why Choose Iridology Above Western Medicine?
Tired of tests and scopes and medication after medication? Let us filter through the symptoms and get to the real cause of the problem, through Iridology, an alternative and/or complementary service to western medicine.
The fundamental goal of Iridology is the prevention of serious degenerative processes by recommending nutritional, mechanical (chiropractic), spiritual and emotional support in a truly holistic way.
What To Expect During A Consultation.
The appointment is 1-hour long. Any follow up appointments are done in 3-month intervals to check the progress on changes or supplementation given and then again at 6 months, as the iris takes that long to show any signs of changes in the body. The patient will then receive a breakdown and summary of what was discussed in the consultation with the relevant recommendations and plan for their way forward.
Constitution Of The Iris
Brown Iris
Iridologists call the brown-eyed constitution the ‘haematogenic’ constitution. Brown-eyed people are at the opposite end of the reactive spectrum from blue-eyed, lymphatic types. Rather than setting up a powerful inflammatory reaction to rid itself of unwanted material, the haematogenic system tends toward accumulation and excess.
There are fewer early-warning signs, such as fever, in brown-eyed people, and as such any health conditions are likely to be more serious as and when symptoms do appear. They also tend to have a slightly lower body temperature than other constitutions and this is why this type of individual would do well with an occasional sauna. Common conditions among haematogenic are metabolic disorders, including raised blood sugar leading eventually to type 2 diabetes, anxiety and stress, and lumps, bumps and cysts of all kinds.
Blue Iris
Blue eyes are called ‘lymphatic eyes’ in iridology, after the lymphatic system, which drains and recycles metabolic waste produced by cells and tissues.
Lymphatic iris types show a high degree of reactivity in their systems and are prone to infections and inflammation. This is the body’s way of trying to rid itself of unwanted irritants and toxins, with the lymphatic system playing a central role. Lymphatic types are prone to arthritis and rheumatism, allergies and especially hay fever, swollen glands and irritations of the mucous membranes such as sore throats and tonsillitis. Also respiratory type complaints like asthma, bronchitis etc
Mixed Iris
The 3rd iridological constitutional type is the Mixed Iris, which contains both lymphatic (blue) and haematogenic (brown) areas. The blue is under the brown and usually not visible with the naked eye. Mixed eyes look green or hazel to the observer.
The genetic weakness for the mixed iris types is digestion, as there is often a reduced supply of digestive secretions from the pancreas, liver and gallbladder. As such, mixed iris types often suffer from bloating and gas after meals and may tend toward constipation. They are also more prone to dysbiosis, where the natural balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut becomes disturbed.
Iridology Can Detect A Leaky Gut
Iridology is one of the only places where you can see if there is a tear and leakage taking place from the gut biome into the blood stream. According to the theory of leaky gut syndrome, intestinal permeability determines not only the symptom of a gastrointestinal disease but also its underlying cause. If your intestinal barrier is impaired, your bloodstream may be contaminated with harmful substances.
Conditions Treated
Skin Problems
Skin problems most always come from a disturbance in the gut with the biggest elimination organ, the skin, trying desperately hard to push toxins out causing us rashes, eczema and psoriasis. Itchiness may also be from parasites which need to be controlled.
Genetic Colour
The colour of your eye determines what genetic weakness you may be susceptible to. For instance, a blue iris is referred to as a lymphatic eye as it has weaknesses in the ability to remove toxins from the body. The weaknesses will show up in the elimination organs being the kings, kidneys and skin.
Nervous System
We will be able to have a look at your nervous system and see how you relate to stress or if you don’t handle it well, how your body relates to it. We will also be able to see if you have inherited weaknesses from your maternal or paternal side which is always interesting to see how one can help your body avoid issues that your parent has.
Acidity / Gout / Sore Joints
Acidity, gout, and sore joints are all signs that the body is out of balance. We can see very easily in Iridology if your body is acidic, and if it is, there will be obvious inflammation markers. We will then be able to see how we will be able to assist you.
Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety and depression, panic attacks – all linked to toxins in the brain and the gut being toxic, not allowing the correct hormones like your happy hormone, Serotonin, to be produced properly.
Health of Organs
We can see the health of your organs and if there is an organ under stress we can determine what to do to help the body. For instance if there are is inflammation and pigmentation in the liver area we will see where this is coming from (endocrine system or gut) and perhaps advise on a detox program or parasite cleanse and the beneficial foods that will help.
Inflammation
Inflammation – we will be able to see where the inflammation is and where it is coming from, mostly the gut and acidity and suggest protocols and supplements that may be able to assist you.
Stomach Problems
We will be able to see in what state your gut is in and if there is too much bad bacteria or dysbiosis and fungus causing problems in the gut area. Along with being able to see if there is a leak or tear in the gut lining, one of the few places where this can be identified.
