It
has been said that "the eyes are the windows of the soul". They are
also a record of the body's past health, current state of well-being
and of its strengths, weaknesses and predispositions into the future.
Iridology
or Iris
Analysis is the observation of the coloured part of the eye (the iris)
as an indicator of past and present states of health. It can point
to potential weaknesses of particular organs or bodily systems in an
individual that may then receive preventative attention. It can
highlight areas of concern that may be under stress physically or
emotionally.
When
used by a knowledgeable and experienced practitioner it is a very
useful diagnostic aid. Areas of concern indicated by analysis are
then addressed, as always, in the context of the individual's overall
health issues and needs. This may be with herbs, flower essences, diet
and nutrition or referral to appropriate assistance.
The
best way to observe the iris is by taking a photograph that can
then be studied at length without discomfort to the subject. It also
offers the opportunity for the subject to participate in the analysis.
