Iris diagnosis - application, limitations and benefits
Already in ancient Egypt, the art of iris diagnosis was used. Tradition has it that the Chaldeans of Babylonia had the knowledge to read diseases out of the eye. In Asia, too, there was evidence of the local application of the iris diagnosis due to the discovery of stone slabs. The people were mainly concerned with the color changes in the eye. And even today, this form of diagnostics is used in the naturopathic practice.

Philip Meyens ordered the iris in body regions in Dresden in 1670, wrote it down in the "Physiognomie Medica" and thus founded the foundations for the iris diagnosis of today. In the late 19th century, the Hungarian physician Ignaz von Péczély, an avid falconer, was intensively involved in the diagnosis of irises. One of his owls broke his leg. He discovered in the iris of the wounded owl a black line, which was right there in the Organzugordnung of the affected body part. This stroke was preserved even after the recovery of the animal. For him that was the proof that certain parts of the body are visible in the iris. The right half of the body was visible on the right iris and the left half of the body on the left iris. In 1886 Ignaz von Péczély published his findings.

Josef Deck wrote a standard work on iris diagnostics. In addition, Josef Angerer, Joachim Broy and Günther Lindemann dealt intensively with this form of diagnosis. Eye diagnosis is still a controversial form of diagnosis, but it is successfully used by experienced therapists.
Basics
The cornea of the eye is transparent. This allows the therapist to look closely at the translucent iris. The Heidelberg physician W. Lang demonstrated in the middle of the 20th century that nerve connections to the eye exist from all parts of the body. The consequence of this is that diseases and disorders of the organs can be detected in the iris. Thus, the rainbow skin serves as a diagnostic medium with which genetic dispositions, stressed zones and special weak points of the body can be represented. Eye diagnosis is also used for prevention, as changes can be seen in advance. This is also called a reflection of the organs. The right-sided organs of the body are reflected in the right iris, the left-lying organs of the body are reflected in the left iris, internal organs close to the pupil and further outward organs on the edge of the iris.
Circular division of the iris
From the pupil to the edge, the iris is divided into three large or six small zones. Thus, the first large zone, seen from the inside of the eye, contains stomach and intestine. Changes, perceived here, indicate digestive problems, disturbances in food utilization, and the like. The next zone, adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract, contains blood, lymph, heart, kidney, pancreas, and gallbladder. Here also changes with regard to the mass transport and the material utilization are seen. The third zone, adjacent to the iris margin, reflects the liver, spleen, nose, mouth, urethra, and anus.
Iris characters
The practitioner uses an iris microscope or an iris magnifier to magnify the eye. Thus, color changes, fog, stains and the like are made visible.
Reflective signs
Reflective signs indicate acute or recurrent inflammation. These are expressed on the iris in the form of so-called transversals. Transversals are radii (= rays) that deviate from their normal direction (usually arranged like wheel spokes). Also, vascular formations are possible. These are small blood vessels that accompany the Radians.
organ characters
So-called organ signs indicate disturbed organs. These are for example crypts and lacunae. Crypts occur mainly in severe diseases such as the spinal or bone marrow. On the iris is a crypt as a crater, through which one sees in the darkness of the iris, recognizable. Lacunas are either open or closed. An open lacuna, which indicates a developing disease process, for example, presents itself in the form of a tulip. A closed lacunae rather indicates an already manifest disease.
Physiological signs
Physiological signs indicate the load on the connective tissue. This manifests itself in the form of darkening, pigments and irises in the area of the iris.
constitutional types
Constitutional types are actually innate. However, various factors in life can affect the plant positively or negatively. Thus, a mixed type can move one way or the other over the years. These constitutional types are recognizable on the iris. Each constitution type describes a specific innate predisposition.
There are three major constitutional types. These are the lymphatic constitution, the hematogenous constitution and the dyscratic constitution. All three subdivisions are then subdivided more precisely and assigned to certain diathesis forms (inclination of the body to certain diseases).
Thus, people with lymphatic constitution are blue-eyed, often suffer from diseases of the lymphatic system, such as tonsillitis, middle ear infections, colds and the like. Most of her illnesses are associated with fever. People with hematogenous constitution have brown eyes and are more likely to suffer from circulatory system diseases, spasms and hyperexcitability. The dyscratic constitution is a mixed form and occurs in connection with diseases of the liver, bile pancreas and the intestine. (Naturopath Susanne C. Waschke)
