Page "Iridology" Paragraph 5

According to iridologists, details in the iris reflect changes in the tissues of the corresponding body organs.

One prominent practitioner, Bernard Jensen, described it thus: " Nerve fibers in the iris respond to changes in body tissues by manifesting a reflex physiology that corresponds to specific tissue changes and locations.

" This would mean that a bodily condition translates to a noticeable change in the appearance of the iris.

For example, acute inflammatory, chronic inflammatory and catarrhal signs may indicate involvement, maintenance, or healing of corresponding distant tissues, respectively.

Other features that iridologists look for are contraction rings and Klumpenzellen, which may indicate various other health conditions, as interpreted in context.
