Iridology

Iridology is based on the study of one of the most complicated tissue structures of the whole body - the iris. The surface layers of the iris are directly connected to the sympathetic nervous system, allowing impressions from all over the body to be conveyed to the iris. As a result, markings in the iris (the coloured part of your eye) give a detailed picture of the integrity of your whole body.

Iridology can indicate your inherited, and acquired strengths and weaknesses, giving you greater insight into the 'inner' workings of your body (as well as your personality!). If you are in general good health with a good diet and not under excessive or prolonged stress, you may not necessarily experience any symptoms, however when your body is under stress, the areas indicated will be more likely to produce symptoms.

Iridology is one of the primary diagnostic tools used by Naturopaths in Australia. During an iridology consultation a special magnifying torch is used to study your iris to give the practitioner an overview of the health of your tissues and organs, and assist with nutritional and lifestyle advice.
