What is Iridology? Discover the Benefits of Eye Analysis for Your Health

Jennifer Thompson, certified comprehensive iridologist, tell us what iridology is and shares her expertise with us here:

Iridology is the science of the iris of the eye. Think of your brain as your body’s computer hard-drive – your eyes are like your file folders but they contain the folders of information about your health. The eye is connected to the central nervous system via the optic nerve and is getting real-time information on what’s happening in the body at the same time as the brain, thanks to your central nervous system.

In Iridology, we assess your overall health based on the colour, variations of colour, any spots or pigmentation, the iris fibre, the pupil size and shape and any markings in the sclera (white of the eye). 

Iridology is a valuable tool because with it, we look at the body as a whole. A problem in one area of the body will always create stress on other organs in the body too. There can also be deficiency involved, or absorption problems, circulation issues, inherent weakness and even heavy metal toxicity. In iridology, we are taking all of those factors into account and not just giving a pill to take away a symptom. When you strengthen an organ or area with proper diet and nutrition, the whole body gets stronger and healthier as a result. 

I look at the whole body system and develop a personalized plan to achieve optimal health. The recommendations that I make based on your iridology assessment are to strengthen and balance the body back into health, naturally. 

Does it really work? Can I look in your eyes and know things about your body and your health? The eyes are literally the windows to your health. I’ve seen that it works in my own experience with more than 4,000 clients, including even medical doctors and surgeons who were both surprised and impressed with their accuracy of their Iridology assessment. 

Today, people are suffering with multiple health problems more and more, and no longer fit into the just “one health problem” category. Iridology helps bridge the gaps between all areas of the body – including the skin, liver, kidneys, colon, circulation, stress and minerals levels – all of which are critical factors to address in achieving an excellent state  of health.
