Iridodiagnosis
Iridology, also known as iridodiagnosis, is an alternative medicine practice which observes colors and patterns in the iris of the eye. As with other holistic approaches, the iris has specific areas which correspond to different areas in the body. The most important feature is that Iridology reveals conditions before symptoms appear. Long time practitioners can readily see areas of the body with weaknesses, congestion and toxic accumulation. They can also observe emotional and mental states. Even a novice can gain some knowledge by observation of the iris and comparing their findings to the charts. I never considered trying this with my dogs until now. Why? Back when I had it performed, I had to hold still and rest my chin very close to the viewer (just like getting your eyesight tested). Now I realize I can take digital photos of my dogs eyes and compare them to the charts online. Sounds kind of fun to try. I could make it part of my at home holistic dog medicine package. If you try this at home for your dogs, let me know through my Contact Me form how it worked for you. Holistic physicians may use this practice in their repertoire of diagnostic measures. My own naturopathic physician no longer uses this in her practice, but I swear I see her sneaking a peak at something in my eyes for confirmation when muscle testing me for a perfect remedy. I'll have to ask her. So now we know the eyes are not just windows to the soul, but windows to our physical body as well.
