The iris otherwise referred to as the “windows to the soul” are connected to every organ and cellular tissue within the body, via an intricate web known as the nervous system. It is estimated that there are over a million nerve fibres within the optic nerve, that run from the retina (eye) directly to the brain. These carry visual messages back and forth providing vital information regarding the health or possible defects within our physical, mental, social and emotional self. 

As an iridologist, I determines 3 vital components of the iris.

Constitution: Colour

Disposition: Fibrous structure

Diathesis: Overlay of pigment, markings, and signs that refer to specific physical and emotional stress within the body. These markings can be inherited or acquired

Iridology is a non evasive diagnosis, representing inherited and acquired health issues that can reach back as far as 3 generations. These health issues are governed  by dietary intake (food – drink), environmental stressors, emotional strain and lifestyle

Taking a look at the various images above, you will notice that no one iris resembles another. The eyes are unique to the individual and considered a form of finger print.

The irides display our inherent qualities, our strengths and our weaknesses. The way in which each of us live our lives, is reflected in the iris. What we take into our bodies determines or enhances our health.
