Iridology is the ancient practice of assessing current health conditions in the body by examining the color portion of the eye, known as the iris.
It is based on the concept that every organ within the body corresponds (like a map) to some section of the iris. The process of identifying organ weaknesses and strengths through the iris is not treatment of illness. iridology is to help the individual with treatment diagnosis, direction and improvement. Most individuals who use iridology see it as being a useful alternative to invasive diagnostic measures used in conventional practice. Iridology does not involve any type of invasive procedure, which is attractive to many people.
