ABOUT IRIDOLOGY...

Iridology, or the study of the iris - the coloured part of the eye, is not in itself a treatment, but is used alongside other health care practices as a way of diagnosing the state of health in the body.

The practice of reading the iris for medical purposes has been around for thousands of years, dating back to Ancient Greece, but was more recently extensively researched in the 1800s by a doctor from Hungary, Ignatz von Peczely, who developed the Iris Chart.

A trained iridologist understands the different markings and textures within the iris, which reveal changes and imbalances in the body, indicating possible early signs of disease. In a similar way that a reflexologist feels for problem areas through the reflex points in the feet, an iridologist can 'read' the reflex nerve endings in the iris, which are connected to the brain and the rest of the body through the nervous system. This virtual map of the body effectively provides useful information about a patient's health, organ function, nutritional levels and much more.

Iridology is often used in conjuction with Naturopathy and Nutritional Therapy, as a diagnostic tool before recommending a programme of treatment. This may be one or a combination of options, such as diet, detox therapy, herbal medicine, acupuncture, exercise, relaxation techniques, etc.

It also has a useful place in preventative health care, as changes in the iris can act as an early warning system of when things are starting to go wrong in the body, so we can then take steps to change our lifestyle, and correct any imbalances before illness results.
