The iris is like a map of the body: changes in certain organs are reflected in specific parts of the iris. The right iris shows the condition of the right side of the body, while the left iris reflects the left side. The exact relationship between iris and body parts can be seen in the iris diagram below. Iris diagnosis is also called iridology.
In good health, the iris consists of densely structured fine, straight lines, radiating from the pupil to the outer edge. A dense grain, similar to that of hardwood, indicates strong inherited vitality and good recuperative powers in case of temporary illness. If the fibers are loosely distributed, as in softwoods, the basic health is weak.
In poor health, these lines become separated and distorted, creating different patterns called markings. Very weak organs often show elliptical shaped gray markings – so-called closed lesions that resemble knots in wood. In poor health, many of these closed lesions can be found in the iris, indicating areas of stagnant circulation. If these lesions are not ‘walked in’, but are open at one end or at both ends, this indicates that despite weakness the circulation in this area is good.
Color changes
Start studying your own eyes in a mirror. Then look at the eyes of friends and relatives. Use a magnifying glass and a flashlight held to the side of the eye. Make a colored copy of your own or a friend’s eyes and compare it to the iris chart. Study the overall color pattern. Markings are much easier to detect in blue than in brown eyes. There are often brownish discolorations in blue or green eyes that extend outward from the pupil. This area belongs to the intestines. The brown color change indicates that there is a deterioration of the digestive system, usually associated with hereditary liver and gallbladder weakness.
Babies’ eyes often change from blue to brown within days or weeks of coming into contact with cow’s milk. Often allergic symptoms are present at the same time, for example eczema, respiratory and digestive problems. These color changes can also occur in breastfed babies if the mother uses cow’s milk or cow’s milk products. Presumably, this change can already occur in the fetus.
The brown color of true brown eyes comes from melanin pigments, while pathological brown color changes come from oxidized lipoproteins (e.g. lipofuscin) and possibly from the breakdown products of blood dyes (e.g. bilirubin). Additional discoloration may result from drug deposits.
Sometimes there is so much brown that it is difficult to detect the original color. Organ areas adjacent to the intestinal ring where it shows strong markings are likely to suffer from reflected weaknesses. White in the iris indicates overactivity, irritation, acidity, infection, inflammation or catarrh of the corresponding body part. In some eyes the entire iris is much white; in other cases it is concentrated only in certain areas.
A brown discoloration usually means that cow’s milk products, saturated fats (all fats that are solid at room temperature), chemicals and stimulants should be avoided as much as possible. A very white discoloration indicates mucus accumulation. Therefore, mucus-forming foods should be avoided – gluten, refined carbohydrates, wheat, lactose, oranges and anything moldy.
Gradually, an organ can change from an inflamed to a chronically weak state. The white in the iris changes to gray at the same time; the darker the gray, the weaker the organ. As health improves, you can see the reverse process: the gray areas become lighter in color, then white, and finally restored to their original color – a process that takes many years.
In general, white markings indicate a need for anesthetic, anti-inflammatory treatment of the associated organ, while gray or brown areas indicate a need for strengthening and stimulation.
Terms and Conditions
LEARNING REFLEX : Failure to contract a pupil when a bright light shines on it indicates blunted nerve reflexes, weak adrenal glands, or an overstimulated sympathetic nervous system, often from anxiety as a hidden, chronic condition. Adrenal stress occurs when the pupils begin to dilate and contract repeatedly when exposed to bright light for 30 seconds.
NERVOUS CROSS : A strong, white and almost circular outline of the intestinal area – the nerve ring – indicates a good condition of the autonomic nervous system. If this outline is weak, jagged, discolored, or extends far to the periphery or pupil, we can assume that the autonomic nervous system is in poor condition. The normal position of the nerve whorl is one-third of the distance between the pupil and the periphery; when the nervous system is tense and overactive, the whorl is closer to the pupil, and when the nervous system is relaxed and underactive, it is closer to the periphery.
NERVE RINGINGS : White circles or arcs in the outer part of the iris. They indicate a tense, over-reactive and irritated nervous system. The outer iris zones represent the lymphatic and circulatory systems and, adjacent to the sclera, the skin.
DISCOLORED STOMACH AREA : In a normal condition, the stomach area is not visible, but if the stomach is irritated, the area adjacent to the pupil will be whitish and clearly different from the intestinal area. A brownish discoloration of the stomach area indicates chronic weakness.
DISCOLORED INTESTINAL AREA : A whitish area of the intestine indicates inflammation, irritation, or ulcers; avoid gluten products, lactose, spices and acidic foods; use mucilaginous supplements (fenugreek, slippery elm, comfrey, flaxseed), brown rice and the outer parts of potatoes. If there is a mucus accumulation in the head, there is a whitish or brownish discoloration in the transverse region of the colon, radiating to the ear and brain. If it is chronically weak, this area will be dark.
RADIAL BLACK LINES : When there is severe deterioration of the intestines, strong black lines (radii solaris) will appear, starting at the pupil and radiating to the periphery. Organs through which these rays pass will also be very weak.
UNUSUAL MARKINGS : Distinct markings can be colored brown, red or yellow. Unusual colors indicate deposits of drugs or other chemicals that lodge in weak organs.
WHITE OUTER RING : A heavy white ring near the outer edge of the iris indicates salt (sodium) and calcium deposits. Avoid salt, drink plenty of water, and use potassium and magnesium if necessary supplementsand natural vitamin D; improve kidney activities.
BLUE AND WHITE FILM : A bluish-white film that begins to cover the iris from the outer edge indicates poor circulation to this area and anemia. This film often appears in the brain area, indicating approaching senility (arcus senilis).
DARK OUTER RING : A dark ring on the outer edge (scabies edge) indicates that the skin is inactive with accumulated waste and needs frequent stimulation, better circulation and improved kidney and lung activities.
LYMPHATIC ROSARY : A series of white spots near the outer edge, the ‘lymphatic rosary’, indicates chronic infection and blockage of the lymphatic system. Especially avoid lactose and cow’s milk products (except butter).
It may take years before you become an expert in iridology, but with the basic rules given here you can already make a good judgment about the condition of your body. If you have this knowledge, you may be able to help other people too. Experiment and you will soon discover that iridology is a valuable and fascinating tool. The most extensive information in book form about iridology is available from Bernhard Jensen, mainly his book Iridology Part 2
Sclerology
Sclera diagnosis or sclerology involves interpreting the location and shape of the blood vessels visible in the sclera, the white of the eye. Usually only the problem areas are indicated and not the nature of the complaint. Sclerology can show that the function of an organ is disturbed, but not whether it is overactive or underactive. It helps if you have good light and a magnifying glass for examination.
To inspect the lower part of the sclera, have the subject look up while pulling down the lower eyelid; to look at the upper part, the subject must look down while gently rolling up the upper eyelid; examine the outside while the subject is looking toward the other eye and the inside part of the sclera while looking away from the other eye.
In general, a blood vessel pointing to a particular organ reflex in the iris indicates that something is wrong with that organ or body part. The more visible the blood vessel is and the more of it clumps together, the worse the problem. A bluish color of the sclera indicates underactivity.
