Psoriasis

Koebner phenomenon (also called Koebner response) is the break out of new psoriasis lesions in the parts of the skin that are injured or traumatised.

Iridology

An iridologist is a health practitioner who examines the pattern, colour, and any other feature of the iris (the coloured part of the eye) to establish an understanding on the general health of an individual.

Rather they examine the systemic health of the body by examining the distinctive marks in the iris and sclera (the whites of the eye). A large number of individuals resort to iridology to receive holistic direction, early...
