TRADITIONAL IRIDOLOGY
Traditional iridology is based on the study of the iris, or colored part, of the human eye. It is an ancient science, dating back at least 3,000 years in recorded history.
In iridology, a map of the iris is used to assess levels of health, congestion, inflammation and degeneration in the body. Because the optic nerve stems from the brain, your eyes can reveal information related to glandular function, digestion and elimination of wastes. Such information can be extremely helpful for a person with health concerns.
The color, fiber structures and certain other traits seen in each individual iris reflect the person's genetic makeup. They also indicate physical strengths and weaknesses, within the person's body. Specific colored features can also reveal accumulations of toxicity in various parts of the body.
The marks in the iris originate from the nervous system. Information from the nervous system is projected into the eyes via the optic nerve! Isn't this amazing?
HOLISTIC HEALTH
In a holistic approach to health, the purpose is to restore balance within the individual. It includes not only the physical body and its functions, but also considers the mind. It takes into account the health of our thoughts and emotions and, very importantly, our spiritual health. Holistic health care aims at integrating all aspects of the individual.
HOLISTIC IRIDOLOGY
Holistic iridology considers physical factors, just like its traditional counterpart. It goes further, though. It also assesses thought and emotional patterns, which, as we now know, also significantly affect one's health and well-being.
Your eyes are truly the window to your soul and the mirror of your health! "The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness." (Luke 11: 34)
BENEFITS OF IRIDOLOGY
An iris analysis is a safe, painless and non-invasive way to receive a perspective of your current state of health and an idea of where you might be headed, health-wise. Its purpose is preventative.
For instance, if you were in a canoe, coming up to a bend in the river, you might not be able to see a dangerous set of rapids or a steep waterfall that awaits you just around the curve. If an onlooker knew about it, though, and could warn you ahead of time, you could choose to take corrective action to avoid a potential accident.
Similarly, a qualified, professional iridologist can provide an individual health assessment and recommend appropriate steps for you, according to the situation.
This might entail a general cleanse to reduce toxins or supplementation to nutritionally support weaker or stressed organs or glands. A suitable plan of action will help you to minimize the risk of potential future problems.
IRIDOLOGY AND NUTRITION
Dr. Bernard Jensen is a world-renowned iridologist, nutritionist and colon therapist. He stated: "I believe in Iridology and Nutrition as the twin guiding stars that will bring in a new profession equally uplifting for both doctor and patient."
Iridology is, indeed, beneficial for assessing levels of health, congestion, inflammation and degeneration in the body. Nutrition is an awesome tool for correcting nutritional deficiencies and removing toxins from the body. Nutritional support also provides the body with the raw ingredients it needs for ongoing repair and maintenance. Together, iridology and nutrition make a powerful pair! It is up to us to take advantage of them!
Iridology fascinates me! One reason is that, like finger prints, there are no two identical eyes in the entire world! Just think... With approximately six billion people in the world, there are about 12 billion different eyes!
As you can see, it is always a fresh, new experience when an iridologist is permitted to look into your irises. Your eyes are truly unique!
