It’s an old adage that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Over the last two centuries, a new practice of examining the iris has emerged. This has resulted in a fascinating and surprisingly accurate method of assessing an individual’s potential for health.

The iridologist examines the colors and the textures within the iris landscape. Each person's iris is completely unique. The picture that emerges within the eye can distinguish between healthy systems and organs in the body and those that are overactive, inflamed, or distressed. This information may be used to assess a patient's susceptibility towards certain illnesses, to reflect past medical problems, or to predict later consequences of health problems that may be developing. This gives the iridology practitioner a detailed framework for treatment.

Also within the eyes reside a "personality blueprint" which can provide wonderful information to help an individual on their soul’s journey. This information comes from a different school of iridology known as Rayid iridology. The aim of Rayid is to help the individual understand their natural gifts, and challenges, in order to help them fully embrace and embody their own uniqueness.

An integrated iridology assessment will take into account both schools of iridology, to impart both fascinating and practical information that will aid a person on their road to achieving optimal wellbeing.
