Iridology Reading- What can it teach you about your health?

What is iridology?

It’s the study of the iris, sclera and pupil and their relationship to your individual health predispositions.

As iridologists we look at the fibres of the iris and the colour variations as well as other signs to gain some insight to your constitutional strength in different body systems.

Did you know that no two iris’s are the same? In fact even your own two iris’s are different in the different signs that they show.

An iridologist embraces all of the different signs in your eye and looks to what they can tell about your physical, emotional and mental state.

What happens during an iridology reading?

This varies from practitioner to practitioner, as an iridologist working in Sydney I find some clients are very open to wanting a full iridology session and we can spend an entire consultation understanding and taking a deep dive into what your eyes are showing us about your health. These iridology sessions would typically include the following:

Taking a photograph of each eye first.

The images are then uploaded onto computer where we can use software to place an iris overlay map on your images and get a clearer idea of the signs and corresponding body systems that might be showing signs.

From here we spend the time discussing what each of the signs represent in iridology and some of the key areas that you might need to focus on in terms of your health and healing journey.

Towards the end of the session I generally take down some key goals and areas of focus for your health and wellbeing that you can focus on moving forward.

The body systems that you want to pay close attention to moving forward with your health.

If we are working together with herbal and nutritional medicine we can discuss how the iridology reading can support your existing health strategy.

Be mindful that not all naturopaths, herbalists use iridology and some of them apply iridology as a short add on to the back of an exisiting consultation. This is something that usually involves a quick 5-10 minute look in the eye with a torch followed by a short discussion on the top 3-4 signs that are appearing for you.

This is something that tends to be less in-depth and changes aren’t always tracked over time.

These shorter mini iridology sessions form a small part of a holistic naturopathic consultation. However the real strength of this tool is in taking the images and really spending the time looking and of course over time reassessing as you move through your health journey.

A full iridology session allows us the time to delve into your unique constitution, personality traits, and areas where you might need to be nurtured or spend some time learning and developing. There is so much insight that can be gleaned by a full iridology session and these can take 45-60 minutes to complete.

Seeking out an iridologist in Sydney?

If you’re looking for an iridologist be sure to ask the following key questions:

Do you take photographs of the eye?
Will you be keeping records of the iris so that we can track changes over time?
Do you spend an entire session on the iridology reading?

It’s said in many cultures that you can see the soul of another person through the eyes…

There is a very intimate connection between the iris and health if you have the time and resources I would strongly suggest you have at least one full iridology session with your naturopath/ herbalist.

My clients often leave these sessions feeling both empowered and excited about their health and wellbeing journey.
