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.

There are four main schools of iridology, based in the U.S.A, Australia, Germany and Britain.  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 was one of the first pioneers.  He 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 and his iridology chart is considered to be the most detailed and best available.

Dorothy Hall is an Australian naturopath and herbalist who veers towards the psychological side.  The German school like their very precise measurements, I find their illustrations in relation to the body parts within the irids very beautiful.  Then there is the British school who used the knowledge gained from the other three to develop and progress the art of Iridology in Britain.

Iridology is a diagnostic tool; you must have a back up in some form of natural medicine such as herbalism, nutrition, homeopathy or naturopathy etc. to be able to use this skill to help others.
