Study of Iridology

“The light of the body is the eye…” – Matthew 6:22a

The iris is not only the colorful portion and most distinctive feature of the eye, but also has been an area of study for health purposes for thousands of years. Yet, not until the mid 19th century had the study of Iridology really been brought to light. . Although thought of as a “fringe” practice to the mainstream, Iridology is an alternative, holistic approach to health care in which the Iridologist claims to be able to diagnose medical conditions through abnormalities of pigmentation in the iris.

Dr. Bernard Jensen was a pioneer in holistic and alternative health and a leader in the science and application of Iridology. He provided extensive training programs and certification in Iridology to doctors and practitioners worldwide. The link below is to his full-sized iridology eye chart which really gives us a strong view into the in-depth and all-inclusive nature of the study.

Lastly, to show how it is all “connected” this video by Rudy Silva shows the connection between iridology and constipation.

Even though Iridology is popular in many countries, it is up to each of us to do our own research. Yet, it is not outside of the realm of possibility for those of faith to believe that the “light of the body” could give insight into its wellness.
