Did you ever ponder why “a twinkle in your eye” and “a spring in your step” go together? Iridologists and natural health believers might say it’s because these are clear signs of vibrant health!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since there are always two sides to every story, and a sparkle denotes health, can a lack of sparkle mean ill health? Some believe this is so and claim to be able to see: tendencies to heart problems<\/a>, blood sugar imbalances, spinal misalignment, poor digestion, mineral deficiencies, constipation, high cholesterol<\/a> and many other factors all by looking into your eyes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The practice of looking into someone’s eyes, studying the lines, markings, and colors of the iris to detect states of health, is known as IRIDOLOGY “eye-rid-doll-oh-gee”. The iris is the colored part of the eye. Most iridologists only read the iris, although many iridologists take into account other parts of the eye; such as the white part of the eye called the sclera. Other areas surrounding the eyeball, such as the presence of bags under the eye or the condition of the eyelids reveals further information about a person’s condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iridology is a science mostly practiced in Europe by medical doctors, although it has gained much popularity with holistically oriented practitioners in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many iridologists use this practice along with their particular modality of natural healing–most commonly herbs or other nutritional supplements. Chiropractors, nurses, massage therapists, reflexologists, colonic<\/a> therapists, physical therapists or nutritionists may also utilize iridology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eye reading does not diagnose, however, it does reveal genetically weak areas. The benefits gained by locating a person’s weaknesses are many. Iridologist’s know that any toxins taken into the body if not immediately eliminated will affect and sometimes settle into the weakest tissues in the body. This process, iridologists believe, can lead to degeneration, possible disease, and at the least, irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toxins are such things as air pollution, stress, polluted drinking water, household chemicals, preservatives, food additives, food colorings, pesticides and the general waste products the body makes on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To briefly illustrate, lets say a person shows a weakened urinary system (urinary system includes the bladder, kidneys, urethra and ureter tubes). If this person becomes constipated, the toxins from the sluggish colon are backed up into the blood and are carried throughout the entire body in the bloodstream. When the toxins reach the urinary system that happens to be too weak to expel the poisons, the toxin may settle there and create irritation and a kidney or bladder infection may be the result. Knowing your weak areas, your iridologist can guide you to lifestyle changes, or supplemental additions to your diet that will help you strengthen these tissues and prevent future problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whom does an iridology reading serve?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
