Can Iridology Techniques Uncover Potential Health Problems

By Paul Rogers


Most people like the idea of non-invasive therapies that can uncover potential health problems before they become acute. Some of these methods were used by ancient civilizations and have gone in and out of fashion ever since. Iridology techniques, for example, were utilized thousands of years ago to discover the underlying cause of some common health problems. Today it is used as one technique to uncover the possibility of potential health problems.

It made sense to our ancestors that eye colorations would be linked to the brain and could be studied in order to gauge the physical health of a patient. In the nineteenth century a Hungarian doctor took the theory to another level when he noticed a correlation between the physical ailments of his patients and certain streaks he saw in their irises. The doctor came up with a chart that practitioners still use to match changes in the iris with certain physical problems. Hardening of the arteries and inflammation are two of the most common ailments indicated by changing iris coloration.

Even those who believe these observations have some validity point out that studying the iris is not a way to replace medical diagnoses. Iridology won't tell physicians whether patients have cancer or diabetes. Studying changes in iris coloration may be able to show a professional something about genetic tendencies. It can be used as one of the tools in the process of diagnosing illness.

The process of having your iris examined is simple and painless. You fill out a form describing your medical history and lifestyle prior to the non-invasive examination. A technician uses a irisodoscope, which is simply a magnifying glass, to examine the eye. Sometimes they use a camera to take pictures of an iris. These are downloaded into a computer for analysis.

You should take some precautions before you submit to any examination. If you want to have your iris analyzed to give you health information, you need to find a reputable professional who is experienced and has the proper credentials. You can find listings of certified iridologists online at the International Iridology Practitioner Association.

The technique is somewhat controversial. Studies have been done in which iridologists were presented with a number of individuals with the same physical condition. The iridologists, in these studies, could not decide what the condition was. They even disagreed among themselves as to what the condition might be. Other studies have shown these techniques to be effective tools in evaluating some diseases and chronic conditions.

Most have concluded that you need to avoid practitioners who claim they can diagnose illnesses using these methods. Some individuals tell patients they have the ability to see parasites and cancers by examining a patient's iris. You need to avoid anyone who makes such claims.

Most professionals are in agreement that an experienced practitioner can examine a patient's iris and arrive at some general conclusions. This makes iridology an effective screening tool. It can be used by a primary physician, in addition to traditional diagnostic tools, in the examination process.
