Iridology is a medical diagnostic technique based on close examination of the iris of the eye using magnification. Each part of the iris corresponds to different organs of the body. Changes in their function are registered in the iris. The mechanism is thought to be similar to that of acupuncture and foot reflexology, where parts of the body’s surface have a close relationship to internal organ. One can say that your eyes are the mirrors of your health.  Close examination of the iris enables an iridologist to see specific changes, which indicate early signs of illness, toxin accumulations, inherited weakness and chronic diseases. These conditions can usually be treated successfully using medicinal herbs, homoeopathy and nutrition. How Can Iridology Help You? The iris records information about the state and functioning of every organ in the body as well as levels of inflammation and toxicity. This enables the underlying cause of the symptoms we may experience to be detected and removed. The greatest feature and main advantage of iridology over other forms of health screening is that changes appear in the iris before the physical symptom develops. Therefore, preventive action may be taken to improve health and avoid those diseases which might otherwise follow.  Iridology does not reveal specific pathology (medical diseases) because many diseases create similar changes in the body tissues. The iris reflects the condition of the tissues (i.e. inflammation, acidity, toxicity, congested lymph, and hardening of the arteries). Iridology is therefore not concerned with specific symptoms, but with the restoration and maintenance of health by building up the body's immunity and life force.  In many countries in Europe, if you go to hospital, one of the first things the doctors will examine is your eyes. Iridology, the practice of examining the structure and markings of the iris, the coloured part of the eye, is even part of the German equivalent of the NI IS. In hospitals in Moscow and all over Russia it is used as part of the normal health diagnostic process before the patient is sent to see a specialist. The principle of using the irises to determine the state of health was established in China over 3,000 years ago, but modern iridology has been practiced since the 19th century. It has gained increasing popularity and credibility in this country over the last ten years and is particularly useful in identifying health problems before any symptoms occur. A leading London iridologist, Dr Helena Benson, trained as a doctor in conventional medicine in Moscow since 1990 she has run her own health practice in London and works from Harley Street. When she first came to this country she was surprised to discover that, along with Australia, the UK is one very few countries where you can practice alternative health care without having a conventional medical qualification. Almost everywhere else in the world you must have trained as a doctor first. It is partly for this reason that alternative health care and therapy has suffered from a poor image. The Background Dr. Benson first explained to me a few basic facts about iridology; the left and right irises of your eyes are like a mirror image of each other with each area reflecting the state of health of all the organs and areas of your body, in much he same way as in reflexology the different areas of the feet respond to different parts of the body. The inside of the iris, the side iris, the side nearest the nose, for example, between the 9 o’clock and 10 o’clock points denotes the thyroid; 8 o’clock point refers to the spine; the part surrounding the pupil is the stomach and so on. The irises can change and these changes act as a health early warning system reflecting potential problems even before any symptoms occur. Toxin build—up, chronic problems, inflammations, nutritional disorders, all can be detected in the irises. Of course, it takes years of training to he able to determine the state of your health from the markings of your irises. Being a qualified doctor Dr. Benson can then prescribe a course of treatment, which would involve nutrition, homeopathic and herbal remedies. The Consultation First Dr. Benson took a close-up picture of each of my eyes producing a high quality Polaroid photograph to a 6x magnification. Then under a bright light she looked closely at each iris; explaining that she is looking mainly for three things: colour, structure and any additional markings. After first reassuring me that, to my intense relief, the structure of my irises indicated that I had a very strong constitution, she also pointed out one darker zone and told me which part of my body it related to. This doesn’t mean that I have problems in this area, just that I should watch for anything, which might affect it. She advised a course of herbs and vitamins and that I should drink lots of water eat plenty of vegetables, fruit and porridge! Basically I am robustly healthy and don’t have any particular problems! She has plenty of examples of patients in whose irises she has detected problems and advised them to have treatment with natural medicines. As a result these people felt much, much better. At The London School Of Iridology we also conduct quick and painless food sensitivity tests with immediate results by using a non-invasive method based on bio-feedback from your body. You sit at a table and hold a small electrode connected to the EAV machine. The tester uses a probe to touch one of your fingers at an acupuncture point. The EAV machine measures your body’s response to food substances contained in small ampules, which are placed in the machine in turn. Once any allergies or food sensitivities have been detected, we offer a simple elimination programme for the offending items, nutritional advice, and treatment with herbal and homeopathic remedies.
