What is Iridology?
Someone said that the iris is the living image of what the eye has
been, what it
is, and even what it can become. "The iris is like a
chalkboard which does not get erased."
Iridology (pronounced
eye-ri-dol'-ogy) is the science of studying the iris or the colored
portion
of the eye. Iridolog
y
is based on empirical
observations (made by medical doctors and other researchers over the
last 300
years) which suggest that certain dysfunctional states in the body are
indicated
by different textures and color properties within the iris. It is useful
for preventative health because
these imbalances in the
body can be detected early on, giving time for adjustments to be made
using
natural therapies.
In addition to this, Iridology is:
- Non-invasive
- Informative
- Comprehensive
- A cost-effective way to assess the body
The basic premise of Iridology is to holistic in nature -- to
consider the
relationships within the body and where imbalances are located. It does
not attempt to address a specific symptom or disease. However, once
uncovered, these imbalances (and factors contributing to them) can be
addressed,
often causing symptoms to diminish or disappear.
Iridology is an invaluable tool for designing a plan for well-being
What are the Benefits?
Children as well as adults benefit from
an Iridology session.
Iridology:
- Helps the practitioner identify a client's potential strength or
health
weakness
- Provides a starting point for lifestyle considerations and
education
- Partners beautifully with nutrition
- Helps prevent unwanted conditions by showing areas that need
support
- Reflects your unique body type
- Shows changes as the body heals
Your body wants to be in balance, and
when you give it what it needs, it will respond and do what it can to
regain balance,
allowing you to make the most of your life.
Information gathered in an
Iridology session provides
particular and valuable information for your health and wellness.
How Long
Has It Been Around?
The science of Iridology has been around for thousands of
years and was mentioned in the works of Hippocrates. A form of iris
interpretation was used in ancient China -- fortunately, it has made
great progresssince then.
Researchers of Iridology look at lots of eyes!
Studies have been done around the world (and are still continuing), and
all of
this has culminated in the science of Iridology practiced today. With
the use of
microscopes and digital cameras developed over the past 20 years,
research has
advanced rapidly.
Dr. Bernard Jensen, considered the Father of Iridology in
the United States, and many other Iridologists from around the world
have
contributed to the form of Iridology practiced at Optimal Wellness of Long Island, Glen Cove, New York.
What is Sclerology?
Sclerology (pronounced scler–ol'-ogy)
is the interpretation of
the sclera or the white part of the eye. A Sclerologist observes the
red
lines, various colors and gels seen in the eye and then compiles this
information to make
recommendations that will build health.
What are the Benefits?
Sclerology is non-invasive and it’s a
cost-effective way to assess the body. Children as well as adults
benefit
from these appointments. It is one of the tools I recommend to all of my
clients. Sclerology can:
- Allow clients to be educated on potential conditions BEFORE
symptoms
manifest
- Verify and enhance data obtained by Iridology and other
modalities
- Reflect the influence of emotions on the physical body
- Partner beautifully with nutrition
- Show changes as the body heals
Dr. Leonard Mehlmauer also
explained that one of the real benefits of
Sclerology is that “signs can show up
in the sclera long before they are felt as symptoms. This is a great
advantage
in terms of treatment, prevention, and especially health promotion.”
Your body wants to be in balance, and
when you give it what it needs, it will respond and do what it can to
regain balance,
allowing you to make the most of your life.
I feels that information gathered in an Sclerology session provides
invaluable information for your health and wellness.
What does Sclerology
reveal?
Sclerology is helpful in
revealing how one part of the body can influence symptoms of discomfort
in
another. This helps us uncover root causes that may be causing your
symptoms. Sclerology can identify:
- Current stress in the body
- Where root causes originate
- Where symptoms are likely to be noticed
- How emotions can influence physical symptoms
- Areas of stress and congestion within the body
- Various types of trauma
- Signs of cardiovascular, liver and other organ disorders
- Colon conditions
- Immune system conditions
- How stress in one part of the body can influence symptoms in
another
- Effects of stress, and more!
How long has it been
around?
Sclerology has been around
for thousands of years. We have seen drawings from China made over a
thousand
years ago and Native Americans also used it for health care. It has
made great
progress since then, thanks to the help of photography, digital imaging
and
computers. There are also more and more people contributing to Sclera
research.
Dr. Mehlmauer says, "One thing is certain -
we
haven't heard the last of this fascinating form of analysis. With
technology
advances in digital cameras and computer applications, as well as
interpretation
of the emotional signs and the mind-body connection, research around the
world
is revealing the inherent wisdom of this system."
Note: Iridology
and Sclerology do not reveal
disease and an appointment doesn’t lead to a diagnosis. While the iris
and sclera can
reveal some current conditions and stress affecting body systems, it is
most
useful for prevention and long-term health.
