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.

Professionals are quick to point out that studying the eye is not a way to diagnosis illness. It won't tell you if you have cancer or diabetes. What studying the changes in the color of an iris will do is show an experienced professional what the genetic tendencies are. It is a tool to be used in the diagnosis of potential problems.

Iris examinations are simple and painless. Patients are required to fill out forms that describe their medical histories and lifestyles before the examination. The practitioner uses a magnifying glass type instrument known as an irisodoscope to examine the patient's eye. A camera is sometimes used to photograph the iris. The information from the photographs is downloaded and studied after the examination. The whole procedure is non-invasive.

You need to be careful about anyone giving you health advice. If you are interested in having an analysis of your iris, you need to do some research in order to find a professional with experience and the proper credentials. You can go online to the International Iridology Practitioner Association for a listing of certified iridologists.

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 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.
