Iridology

The Iris: A Window Into the Body’s Health

Iridology, the study of the iris as a diagnostic tool, has been systematically researched and applied for over 150 years, with academic contributions from 33 countries. Originating in Germany, this alternative medical practice is based on the idea that the patterns, pigmentation, and structural features of the iris reflect the condition of internal organs and bodily systems.

Modern iridology practitioners claim the ability to derive up to 72 distinct health indicators from iris analysis, including insights into stress levels, cholesterol, inflammation, and organ stress points. For medical professionals trained in iridology, the iris serves as an early warning interface, enabling them to visually map and assess potential imbalances or dysfunctions in specific areas of the body.

This approach positions the iris as a non-invasive, visual diagnostic window—one that integrates seamlessly with modern imaging technologies and AI, making it a promising field for smart health diagnostics and early intervention strategies.
