The Iridology is a diagnostic method that shows the pathological and functional imbalances in the body through patches, lines and discolorations in the colored part of the eye called the iris.

History of Iridology
Iridology is a relatively old science updated scientific and medical research in Russia, Germany and the United States.

In Babylon in the year 1,000 BC C., Chaldeans iris representations carved on stone slabs, supported by its relationship with the rest of the body.

Hippocrates and Philostratus, the medical school of Salerno practiced Iridology and more recently, in 1670, the doctor published his book Phlippus Meyens Medica Chiromatica in Dresden, which described the neurological reflex reactions of the iris as follows: “The right side Eye shows the liver, right chest and blood vessels. The left eye shows all organs located on the left and therefore the heart, the left chest, spleen and the tiny blood vessels.

Then there were some texts on the iris and its signs, but the work of the Hungarian Ignatz von Peczely (1826 – 1911) were the most validated the resurgence of Iridology. Von Peczely produced one of the first European iris image linked to modern revival of this technique.

His experience with Iridology began with the breaking of the leg of an owl trying to free it from a bush. When caring, observed the emergence of a black mark on your iris, at six o’clock. Then, during his recovery, he noted that the signal is cleared. This experience led him to look after their patients’ eyes, while working as a homeopath and, later, to graduate as allopathic physicians. His profession gave him the opportunity to relate their findings in patients studied before and after surgery, in addition to the many who performed autopsies.

In 1893, he published the research of Nils Liljequist Swedish homeopath. Even when they worked independently of each other, originated graphics and a very similar medical terminology.

Liljequist’s story is different. As a young man was expected to study medicine, but it suffered from multiple illnesses became chronically ill with malaria and other diseases. The use of quinine allowed him to observe that his blue eyes changed color. After twenty years, published an article titled “Quinine and Iodine iris color change.

Your bad experience with allopathic medicine, homeopathy led him to study and make important contributions in Iridology.
