Iridology is one of the most fascinating tools to determine overall health. The iris is connected to 28,000 nerve endings inside your body, therefore the eyes are a map of the different systems. This includes the brain and nervous system, endocrine system, bone and connective tissues, digestive system, and lymphatic system. 

Iridology is the only science at this time that can see soft tissue weaknesses and toxicity. It is also a  science and practice that reveals inflammation, where it's located, and what stage it is manifesting. The iris can reveal everything from genetic constitution, weaknesses, overall level of health, and lifestyle.

Iridology is not a science that allows us to diagnose conditions, however, to observe the current state of health in a body.

A verbal Iridology assessment may be given with the Initial Regenerative Health Consultation as a tool to help assess what is needed in your protocol. If you would like a mark-up, like in the picture here you are welcome to book a special Iridology Markup appointment
