Many are familiar with the statement: "Your eyes are
the window to the soul." The statement: "Your
eyes are the window to your health," may actually be
more accurate or scientific. Iridology is a science that
reveals inflammation, body constitution, genetic weakness,
levels of health and the transitions that take place in
a person's body.
The iris is connected to every organ and tissue of the body
by way of the brain and nervous system. Nerve fibers in
the iris respond to changes in body tissues. Every cell,
tissue and organ has its nutritional requirements. When
the body is not properly fed, certain nutrients become depleted
and the body begins to suffer illness and/or disease. An
iridologist uses a special magnifying glass and/or camera
to analyze the iris and determine weaknesses in the body.
Iridology can be used as a natural early warning system
alerting one to over activity and degeneration. An iridologist
cannot diagnose a medical condition. Iridology helps a practitioner
look at the body as a whole instead of treating individual
symptoms. Our body is made of cells. When disease or an
illness occurs, it is due to cellular malfunction.
Holistically, iridology is used to accurately assess the
physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual patterns and
weaknesses for a complete health analysis. It is completely
painless, non-invasive, and economically viable while providing
valuable information for restorative and preventive health
care.
The effort to understand changes in the eyes and to correlate
such changes to alterations in the human body is said to
date back to the time of ancient civilizations. Babylonia
iride markings with the relevant anatomical reflexes painted
onto stone slabs have been dated back to 1000 BC. The first
published reference to iris analysis can be credited to
the physician Phillippus Meyens, who, in his book Chiromatica
medica, published in 1670 in Dresden, described the reflexive
features of the iris.
The true originator of Iridology was Dr. Ignatz Von Peczely
(1826-1911), a Hungarian physician. At the age of 11, Von
Peczely happened to catch an owl in his garden. The boy
clearly saw a black line rising in the owl's eye after accidentally
breaking its leg during the struggle. He kept the bird until
it had regained its health and then observed the appearance
of crooked white lines across the black area in the owl's
eye. Von Peczely later became a physician and had the opportunity
to study the irises of many patients. He grew certain that
there existed a reflex relationship between tissue changes
in the body and iris markings and developed the first iris
chart, which has been continually researched and revised
over the years.
Iridology has progressed tremendously since the mid-1800's.
Numerous doctors and scientists have researched iridology
on humans over the past 125 years, and it has become a respected
practice, used by many doctors and naturopaths worldwide.
Dr. Bernard Jensen, renowned Iridologist and Nutritionist,
pioneered the science of Iridology in the United States.
Dr. David Pesek has continued and expanded upon his work
and developed one of the most comprehensive iris charts
used today. With current technology and the use of microscopes
and fine digital imaging, many medical doctors, naturopaths,
and psychologists from England, Germany, Italy, France,
United States, Australia, Canada, and Russia have been advancing
the field of iris analysis.
Iridology is the "eye" of the natural healing
arts, the window through which the wholistic perspective
on health becomes understandable. Iridology is the ideal
tool of preventive medicine.
