Can Iridology Techniques Uncover Potential Health Problems

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.

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 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 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.

These techniques are not without controversy. There are studies where a number of iridologists examined patients who all had specific ailments. They could not come to a unanimous conclusion about what the ailment was. There were also differing opinions among the various iridologists as to the what the ailment actually was. Other studies have shown that this technique is effective as a tool to help doctors evaluate certain conditions and diseases.

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.
