WHAT IS IRIDOLOGY?
Iridology is an holistic practice in which an Iridologist, looks at the client’s eyes, and uses what they see to determine any physical ailments that may be present in the body.
More specifically, Iridologist looks at the iris (the coloured part of the eye) for any abnormalities in pigmentation. Iridologists believe that a unique feature or pattern in the colour of the iris can indicate that a disease, organ weakness or condition may be present. They then determine the type of ailment based on where the feature or abnormality is located on the iris. This is done using an iridology chart and torch.
If an oddity is found during the examination, the Iridologist informs the client. From there, the Iridologist and client can work together to strengthen any areas of weakness discovered.
