- Iridology -

Two of our homeopaths will be offering this diagnostic approach in an integrative way during Homeopathy treatment in the near future. This page will be updated when this is on offer.

With Iridology it is possible to study the iris to diagnose health conditions as every organ has a corresponding location within the iris. The Canadian Institute of Iridology says, "Iridology is one of the fastest growing fields in alternative health care in Canada today."
A 19th-century Hungarian physician, Ignatz von Péczely, was the founder of iridology. He got the idea for this novel diagnostic tool when he saw a a dark streak in the eyes of a man he was treating for a broken leg and it reminded him of a similar dark streak in the eyes of an owl whose leg he had broken years earlier. Von Péczely then went on to document similarities in eye markings and illnesses in his patients. Others completed the map of the eye. A typical map divides the eye into sections, using the image of a clock face as a base. So, for example, if you want to know the condition of a patient's thyroid gland, you need not touch the patient to feel for any enlargement of the gland. Nor do you need to do any tests of the gland itself. All you need to do is look in the iris of the right eye at about 2:30 and the iris of the left eye at about 9:30. Discolorations, flecks, streaks, etc. in those parts of the eyes are all you need concern yourself with, if it is the condition of the thyroid you wish to know. What is most peculiar about the iris is that each is unique and unchangeable, so much so that many claim that the iris is a better identifier of an individual than fingerprints.
