Iridology has been practiced since history has been recorded. In ancient India, Egypt and China, doctors and priests were making health related diagnosis based on the condition of the iris. It is only since this century that a systematic organisation of diagnostics developed as we use today.

�We live as total and complete beings. A connection of mind, body, earth and spirit. The iris displays this same multidimensionality. We ignore this integration at our peril and as our loss. Each iris is an entire separate universe, as, indeed, each person is.

The eye is the most unique physical structure that we have. It communicates and receives. Work in this field of Iridology is constantly exploring and confirming new systems of analysis � physical and psychological, genetic research, DNA studies, diagnostics and even therapies.�

Iridology is a safe, non-invasive diagnostic technique, which requires no needles, no anaesthetics or drugs. It may provide a valuable guide to health and underlying strengths and weakness of patients. If you look closely at each iris you will see a pattern of colours, textures and markings which are unique to that person, and together these features form a map, a blueprint, which gives the Iridologist valuable information about the person's inherited strengths and weaknesses and general state of well-being. Each part of the Iris relates to a particular area or system in the body, and the genetic markings which have been passed from parents to children make it easy for the Iridologist to assess the constitution of the individual.

The greatest feature and main advantage of Iridology over other forms of health screening is that eye diagnosis does not only have a historic past but also a future before the physical symptom develops, and therefore preventive action may be taken to improve health and avoid those diseases which might otherwise follow.

Iridology does not reveal specific diseases because many diseases create similar changes in body tissues. Iridology is a study of the physical, the emotional and the spiritual aspects of the patient.

The iris reflects the condition of the tissues (eg. inflammation, acidity, toxicity, congested lymph, hardened arteries, etc.) Iridology is therefore not concerned with named diseases but with restoration and maintenance of health through building up the patient's immunity and life force.

Proclaimed throughout the ages as "windows of the soul", the eyes are now acknowledged as mirrors of the body and likened to miniature television screens suggesting the condition of the various tissues and organs throughout the body.

The old maxim 'Stop hitting yourself on the head and you will stop getting the headaches' is very true. In other words stop doing what is harming you, and start doing that which will help you, and you cannot fail to benefit in health terms. If you are facing health challenges Iridology can help to identify what needs to be done to optimise your chances of better health, and if you are currently enjoying good health the information given during an iris assessment can prove invaluable for both the present and the future.

Iridology is the science of analyzing the delicate structures of the iris of the eye, its colour, vibrancy and markings, can indicate problems in other parts of the body and reveal strengths and weaknesses in general health. The iris reveals body constitution, inherent weaknesses, levels of health and transitions that take place in a person's body according to the way one lives.

Iridology is not restorative therapy; it doesn't cure and it doesn't pinpoint particular ailments but identifies weaknesses or over activity in the body so that future problems can be avoided.

Iridology also recognises where toxins and inflammation could be, as well as certain chemical deficiencies to determine the general state of health and constitution.

A consultation with a trained Iridologist and diagnostician is valuable, in that many exploratory operations could be avoided. This would save, cost, time and suffering on the part of the patient. Iris examination involves the practitioner examining the iris in each eye using illuminated lenses or Iriscope which takes digital photographs so that the findings can be clearly shown on a computer screen and explained to the patient.
