Iridology is the art of reading the eyes. It is non-invasive, quick, accurate, painless and safe. When you look into someone’s eyes you have before you, a record of what is happening within the body. You could easily establish the constitution, and the POSSIBLE pathways to disease, together with past and present problems. From this you could recommend foods etc. that are good (or bad) if you have the appropriate qualifications. You can also see how well the body is functioning.

There are problems that can be swiftly pin pointed with the aid of iridology, these can be difficult to test for medically, such as the condition of the stomach, intestines, colon and lymphatic system. Because changes appear in the iris before physical symptoms develop, preventative action can be taken to safeguard and improve health.

It was in 1826 that Ignatz von Peczely was born in Hungary. At the age of 11 he captured an owl with a broken leg and noticed a black line in the owl’s iris, he splinted the leg and as it healed white lines appeared where the dark line had been. Later as a homeopathic physician he studied the eyes of his patients in great detail and was able to confirm his diagnoses. In 1886 he presented the first map of the eyes, he is known as the father of iridology.

There are now many schools of iridology, based in the U.S.A the Asian races preferred reflexology, which also works with the nervous system; this is because their eyes are so dark that it is very difficult to see the fibres and markings in the irids.

Bernard Jensen (1908) who was born in California, qualified as a chiropractor in 1929. He then went to New York but studied naturopathic practices on his travels worldwide. He carried out much research, his iridology chart is considered to be the most detailed & accurate available.
