Iris may reveal body constitution, inherent weaknesses, the degree of well-being and its development according to the way a person lives.

As an analytical tool along with other assessment modalities, iridology may provide an insight into one’s state of well-being. The iris is connected to every organ and tissue of the body by way of brain and nervous system. Both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system are present in the iris.

Iridology is used to observe normal and abnormal reflex signs. It helps assess the inherited weaknesses and strengths and the results of inappropriate living practices. A perfect eye shows no holes, inherent weakness signs, distortion of fibers, deposits and will display a perfect color. Any deviation from these findings is considered a sign of lowered function or disharmony.

Iridology may reveal under-activity of body systems, or how one responds to certain treatments over a period of time.

By using a flashlight and a magnifying glass or camera, iris is being observed for marks and signs of imbalance, as many nerve endings in the eye are linked to various body systems.
