How Do You Use Iridology Techniques To Reveal Possible Health Risks

By Paul Rogers


Using alternative therapies to uncover possible health problems is becoming more popular. Some methods that are gaining in acceptance have been used for thousands of years. It's possible your ancestors had the answers to a lot of issues that perplex you. There was absolutely no technology involved in the iridology techniques ancient civilizations used as a basis for uncovering the underlying causes of common physical 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 be careful taking health advice from anyone. If you wish to have your iris analyzed, you should do some research first. You will find a complete list of certified iridologists online at the Iridology Practitioner Association website.

The techniques have some controversy attached to them. There have been studies in which several iridologists examined patients with the same ailment. They did not unanimously conclude what that ailment was. There was disagreement among the iridologists about what ailment the patients had. On the flip side, studies have been done showing the technique as an effective way to assist physicians in evaluating a predisposition for certain 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 agree that a skilled practitioner can examine the iris and come to some general conclusions. Iridology can serve as an effective screening tool. Your primary care physician can use it in conjunction with traditional diagnostic tools when conducting an overall health examination.
