Iridology
Iridology is a diagnostic tool to help detect tissue conditions rather than diagnosing medical conditions. It can help you understand the condition of your body, to understand why certain symptoms are happening and help you to reverse issues before they become problematic or that you are even aware of them. It takes a holistic approach and it recognises stronger and inherently weaker areas, which may be causing current issues or may cause problems in the future, should the body be weakened by other factors. Often common issues like fatigue and ‘feeling below par’ could be because certain organs or systems are working sub-optimally, however conditions can usually be improved.
Time and time again, iridology results are shown to be uncannily accurate and an analysis helps the individual by providing a focus to help bring the body back into balance. The aim is to treat the whole patient rather than the condition. Approximately 300 nerves from various parts of the body connect to the optic nerve. Based on this fact, it is considered possible to conduct a systematic health analysis by studying the iris. The condition of your bodily organs are reflected by reflex physiology that causes changes in the iris tissue. These changes are carried as signals from optic nerve fibres and are expressed as lesions or changes in the colour and structure of your iris.
​
The eyes are formed during the second week of gestation when tiny buds of neural tissue extend laterally from the sides of the forebrain. As the foetus continues to develop, the eyes separate and move forward, and connect to the brain via the optic nerve, a collection of retinal nerve fibres that act as an electrical cable to the brain.
Imagine the eye as a screen on which the central and autonomic nervous systems project information about what is happening all over the body.
Iris analysis is evidence based and offers information that is simply not available through conventional lab tests. Iridology can show which organs or systems are affected and does so non-invasively and reliably. It is safe, cost effective and painless.

An Iridology analysis and report is included, as standard, in the First Naturopathic Consultation.
Remote Iridology Analysis
We are currently only providing remote consultations. After a clear photo of the irises is provided, a report is written regarding the individual's constitution, type, (and how this affects your health and personality), individual strengths and weaker areas that need to be supported. It includes naturopathic treatment suggestions including herbal medicine advice. A report is provided within 72 hours of receiving clear images. This stand alone can be useful for individuals who are seeking clarification into a specific condition and its root cause and alternative ways to help the body heal.​
​
Sometimes, clients return to undertake a full Naturopathic Consultation. This can be done in person or via Zoom.
Iridology During an Optimal Naturopathic Health and Nutrition Consultation
Iridology is used in every Optimal Naturopathic Health and Nutrition Consultation as an aid to understanding each individual‘s health. This is our preferred way of using iridology to investigate and advise upon your health, as many factors can be taken into consideration.
