Unit One: Introduction to Iridology
What is Iridology?
Iridology is a science. It can reveal disturbance in the body, can locate the disturbance
and tell the iridologist at what stage the disturbance is progressing or manifesting. The
science of iridology is the science of analyzing the fibers colors and signs in the eye to
glean this information about imbalances in the body, where they are and how severe
they are.
How Did Iridology Begin?
Iris was the goddess of the rainbow in Greek mythology and the messenger of the
gods in the Iliad. Iridology has actually been used since the beginning of time. Use of
iridology is depicted in the temples of ancient Egypt and referred to in ancient
Chinese texts as well. Additionally, farmers have been using iridology on their sheep
and other animals for as long as anyone can remember. So, iridology, as a craft, is not
a new, or invented science. It is also not a Western discovery. However, it was the
modern Western world that took this magnificent craft and made it into a more
accessible and more accurate science.
Many people who teach iridology teach that iridology started in the early 1800’s by a
man called Ignatz von Peczely. However, this is only partially true. Ignatz von
Peczely was simply responsible for re-discovering iridology in animals, making very
direct research with humans and bringing this information together in charts
accessible by anyone who wanted to learn them. Since this first modern chart, many
scientists have refined his work and done further research to the point where modern
iridology has become a science in its own right. It was even taught at Harvard medical
school until 1985, when it was discarded only because the school needed more room
for the more “modern” classes such as radiology and pharmacy.
