Iridology is a fascinating science and it's inception is accredited to a Hungarian physician Dr. Ignatz von Peczely. When he was young von Peczely rescued an owl that had been trapped, however, during this process the owl broke it's leg. Von Peczely noticed a black mark form in the owl's eye, and that over time and after the owl was nursed back to health that this mark changed colour and faded. This memory stayed with him and as a physician himself, he began correlating eye signs with his client's ailments.
Current masters of Iridology include Bernard Jensen, Freda Sharan and Australian Dorothy Hall.
Teaching Iridology has expanded my understanding and knowledge of this fascinating science.

CONSTITUTIONS
Through Iridology, the person's constitution can be seen. Various Iridologists refer to these by different names (often linked to fabric or woods) and refer to how the person copes with illness. They look at how close together the person's iris fibres are.
Those with strong constitutions tend to have good health. Their bodies can take a fair amount of abuse, like excessive work, burning the candle at both ends and generally overdoing it. Then suddenly they may collapse in a heap and wonder what went wrong saying something like "Why ? I've not had any trouble before!". These types will ignore all warnings that their body gives them to slow down and just keep on keeping on. They also tend to be very unemotional preferring to get on with the job.
Those with more open structures, will tend to be more sensitive to the environment and emotions as well as their body and it's health. They often learn at an early age that they can not abuse their bodies and so learn healthy habits, often ending up a healthier person than those with a really strong constitution.
The Digital Iris Camera is used to enlarge the view of the iris and allow the client to see their iris during the consultation.
THE RIGHT EYE - When looking at irises, if you notice that more signs show up in the person's right eye then it may be worth investigating this further. The right side relates to the masculine principle, which encompasses the ability of the person to stand up for themselves to be analytical, logical and organized.
THE LEFT EYE - When looking at irises, if you notice that more signs show up in the person's left eye then it may be worth investigating this further. The left side relates to the feminine principle, which encompasses the ability of the person to nurture (themselves and others), to listen to their intuition, to be creative, giving and warm. It may also relate to what sort of relationship they have developed with their mother.
