What is Iridology ?

"IRIDOLOGY" (Iris analysis reveals the Health ad Condition of the whole body, the body organs and the body systems.) (I-rid-doll'-o-jee) is "the study of the iris, particularly of its color, markings, changes, etc., associated with disease." This is according to the twenty-seventh edition of Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary. Valuable information concerning a person's health and well-being can be obtained by studying the iris of the eye. It is important to mention that information from the irises can be obtained quickly, and painlessly.

Iridology is the science and practice that reveals inflammation, where it is located in the body and in what stage it is manifesting. The iris is connected to every organ and tissue of the body by way of the brain and nervous system. The iris shows the body condition, inherent weaknesses, levels of health and the transitions that take place in a person's body according to the way he lives. We DO NOT catch arthritis and other diseases We CREATE them! Our western culture diet of high fats and carbohydrates, plus devitalized and processed foods, fast foods devoid of nutrition, synthetic and artificial drugs and medications and over the counter preparations which are only band-aid cover-ups for symptoms, it is easy to see why we ache and hurt and are ill with aches and pains and disease (dis-ease). Dis-ease is the body's way of reacting to not being nutritionally fed. Eating so called nutritious foods still does not give the body what it needs to function properly. Our food today is grown on grounds that are devoid of life giving minerals and nutrients heavy pesticides and chemicals are used and the fruits and vegetables absorb them and then we ingest the toxins and poisons into our bodies. This invasion is foreign to our system so the body then has to work very hard to defend against this bombardment. This intern causes us to have to use our bodies healing nutrition to defend against this foreign invasion. That is why when we see disfunction of the body tissues and organs in the Iris of the eye we can begin a cleansing and supplemental nutritional building program to restore our body to wellness and vitality so that we do not have to deal with the ravages of disease.

The eyes have been proclaimed throughout the ages as the window of the soul. We now acknowledge them as the mirror of the body. In this way, Nature has provided us with a miniature television screen showing the most remote portions of the body by way of nerve reflex responses. The analysis reveals an insight into a person's state of health.

Iridology is the science of analyzing the delicate structures of the iris of the eye. The iris is that portion of the eye that carries the color. There are only two colors of eyes-BLUE-BROWN-so green or hazel or any other color of eyes is a true indication of illness or disfunction in the body organs or systems, toxicity in the tissues, colon and digestion problems etc. From the iris we can readily determine inflammation and the stage of the inflammation, whether it be acute, sub-acute, chronic or degenerative, by shadings which range all the way from very bright white to white, light gray, dark gray and on through to black.

We believe that by recognizing inherent weaknesses reflected in the iris, you can adjust your lifestyle accordingly; by picking out trouble spots, you can prevent problems before they develop. Your eyes may reveal much more about your health than you ever suspected. For over one hundred years, researchers have studied the links between your health and the patterns, colors, and textures of the iris. Today the art of interpreting iris signs has been brought into the twentieth century. "Iridology" is a reliable form of analysis for practitioners in the healing arts.

EAR CANDLING

Migraine Headaches-Chronic Sinus Problems-Hearing Loss

Ear Wax Buildup-Vertigo-Ear Infections

The ancient technique of ear candling or ear coning is centuries old. During

the past ten years there has been renewed interest in the procedure as an alternative to the painful water flushing of the ears to remove heavy wax build-up. An ear candling session is painless (most comment that it is very relaxing). This lifetime accumulation may explain some of the hearing problems we develop as we age. It is reported that 20% of adults 65-75 years of age have hearing problems.

Candling can be done on persons of any age. Inner ear infection is one of the top reasons for hospital admittance in children. Many times candling has been used as a last resort for treating CHRONIC EAR INFECTIONS and to avoid EAR TUBAL implants. As well as treating the ear, candling can work on the sinus and lymph system, removing impurities there as well.

The ear is a breeding ground for all kind of problems. The many intricate crevices of the ear can harbor an unbelievable amount of debris. Candling is also believed to remove candida, yeast, fungus, and remnants of past infections. The Ear, Nose, and Throat Journal of U of U Medical Lab reported that the types of bacteria we currently flight in our ears include Streptococcus pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus, Anaerobic bacteria, and Influenza A and B. A lifetime of residues built up in the ear!

Why candle? The purpose of candling is to remove wax buildup, especially the heavy impacted wax that normal cleaning cannot remove. It is a more comfortable and less expensive alternative to the traditional cleaning method of forcing water into the ear canal.

The Native Americans used hollow river reeds. Today we use a hollow cone (like a large straw) made of a muslin fabric which has been coated with purified bees' wax.

Candling applies simple laws of science. The flame of the candle (when the candle is properly seated in the ear) creates a draw or vacuum which pulls the wax, fungus, candida, yeast, and other particles of debris out of the ear and up into the bottom of the candle. The vacuum is caused by the warmed air form the flame and the colder existing air moving through the hollow chamber of the candle. This movement creates a compression between the ear canal and candle chamber which generates an air flow with increased velocity, thus producing the "sucking" vacuum.

Thought to have originated with the Egyptians, it was used for spiritual cleansing as well as physical cleaning. It was believed to open and clear the spirit centers and refresh the auras. Possible benefits of candling: Sharpening of mental functioning, hearing, vision, smell, taste, Detoxification of sinus and lymph system.

You should not have ear candling performed if you have any damage to the eardrum, ear tubes, congenital hearing loss, ankylosis of the stapes, acute mastoiditis, or recent surgical procedures to the ear.

While many find ear candling to be an effective procedure, everyone is different and we can not guarantee results.
