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.

Responsible professionals want patients to understand that studying the iris is not a means of diagnosing illnesses. Evaluating irises can not tell doctors their patients have diabetes or cancer. Studies of changes in iris coloration does show experienced professionals the genetic tendencies, or predisposition, one may have to certain illnesses. Iridology is a way to predict potential problems.

Iris examinations are fairly simply and free of pain. A new patient fills out a medical history and lifestyle form before having the examination. The process itself is non-invasive. Technicians use irisodoscopes, which are like magnifying glasses, to make an examination of the eye. They often use cameras to take photos of the iris. These go into a computer for further analysis.

You should take some precautions before you submit to any examination. If you want to have your iris analyzed to give you health information, you need to find a reputable professional who is experienced and has the proper credentials. You can find listings of certified iridologists online at the International Iridology Practitioner Association.

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.

The conclusion seems to be that you must steer clear of any practitioner who claims to have diagnostic abilities using this technique. There are individuals who tell patients they can see cancers and parasites by examining the irises of those patients. These people should be avoided.

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.
