Iridology is the science and practice that reveals inflammation, where it is located and in what stage it is manifested. The iris reveals body constitution, inherent weaknesses, levels of health, and the transitions that take place in a person's body according to the way they live.

Iridology is the science of analyzing the delicate structures of the iris of the eye. The iris represents a communication system capable of handling an amazing quantity of information. Presently, as in the past, many primary health care doctors have j^ed thi-form of analysis along with other diagnostic techniques to facilitate a more complete understanding of their patients' health care needs.

We now acknowledge the eyes as the mirror of the body. A closer inspection with the tools made available by our expanding technology is revealing the iris to be a micro computer readout of bodily function and condition that truly merits every thinking person's honest and fair-minded consideration.

Through the application of iridology, it is possible to observe normal and abnormal reflex signs. It does not compare all people together to create a normal, but rather compares an individual's strengths to their weaknesses; a weak organ in a strong body produces different characteristics, yet it is still a weakness for that person.

How it Works

The iris of the eye is the most complex tissue of the body by way of the brain and nervous system. The nerve fibers receive their impulses by way of their connections to the optic nerve, optic thalami, and spinal cord. They are formed embryologically from mesoderm and neuroectoderm tissues. Both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are present in the iris.

Nature has provides us with a miniature television screen showing the most remote portions of the body by way of the reflex responses. We are discovering that the eye works in two ways; not only does it enable us to bring images of the outside world within; it also shows images of what is within, to the outside.

Nerve fibers in the iris respond to changes in the body tissues by manifesting a reflex physiology that corresponds to specific tissue changes and locations. The iris reveals an individual's strengths and weaknesses and what has been done to the body through incorrect living habits. It also reveals the wonder of one who has lived a good life according to the laws of the universe.

What is the chart?

Today we have a map of the iris topography which guides us very accurately over its surface. In this way. it is possible to "read" tissue conditions that relate to the "whole" person being viewed. We are seeing the "whole" body at once.

The chart developed by Dr. Bernard Jensen is the fruit of 50 years of research and intense study. Spending many years as a student of past masters of iridology, he has brought forward and incorporated those aspects and details proven to be accurate by verification in clinical practice.

Each organ is identified and those of major importance are outlined so that they are easily located. Used correctly, iridology gives an individual information concerning their health level that is not available in any other way. An iridologist's services are an important element in a total, wholistic health care program.
