The eyes can tell us a lot about our health, and falls into the category of physical observation called Iridology. It helps us to identify issues and inflammation in the body due to the tissue reflex response; by studying structure, pigmentation, color, and various fiber densities or distress signs in the iris, we can then correlate this to an area or body system/organ/gland, and support root health issues.
The optic nerve is one of the end results of the nerves that runs through our entire body and carries important messages and signals. Instead of treating symptoms, we can uncover root issues using this as one of many naturopathic modalities. Analysis can be basic or extremely in-depth; for example, the color of the eye can reveal a world of information about potential issues and areas that may need additional support; blue eyes can indicate additional support for the body’s lymphatic system, and key organs that may experience distress include kidneys, adrenals and thyroid. A more in-depth analysis would require consultations and pictures, which can be done both in your practitioner’s office or remote.
