What Your Iris Patterns Say About You
According to a long held belief, the eyes are the windows to the soul – but what if they could also serve as windows into your health? According to the study of the iris, otherwise known as Iridology, the patterns, colours and textures of the iris can tell you a lot about your physical and emotional health. While iridology is not mainstream medicine, many practitioners of alternative health swear by it as a health check tool to give a clue into the body’s constitution and imbalances.
The Basics of Iridology
In Iridology, the iris reflects the condition of the entire body and is also known as iridodiagnosis. It has evolved through centuries, with inputs from across the cultures and modern pioneers such as Dr. Ignaz von Peczely in the 19th century. Iridologists can detect potential health problems before symptoms show up by examining the iris.
The premise behind iridology is simple: the iris is webbed together with a complex net of nerve endings connected to every organ and system in the body. These changes in the iris’s patterns, colours, and markings tell us about disturbances within different body parts as a holistic picture of a person’s health.

Iris Patterns and Their Meanings
Iridologists say no two irises are alike, as fingerprints are. Yet, the practise has found some iris patterns and characteristics that may be linked to particular health conditions and traits. Now, let’s look at some of the most common iris patterns and what they say about your health.
Constitutional Strength
Iridologists look for one of the key aspects of the iris — fibre structure, which they believe indicates the body’s constitutional strength. By that, we mean a person’s overall vitality, resilience and susceptibility to illness.
Strong Constitution
A strong constitution is indicated by a tightly woven fibre structure. Those with this pattern are believed to have higher energy levels, a better resistance to stress, and a strong immune system. They are less vulnerable to chronic illnesses and heal themselves from any minor health issues.
Weak Constitution
However, a loosely woven fibre structure is believed to mean a weaker constitution. People who are chronically fatigued or have chronic conditions or who recover slowly may be more susceptible. Iridologists will recommend lifestyle changes or supplements that help boost their vitality.
Digestive Health
Digestive health is sometimes assessed by iridologists by looking at the area around the pupil. The presence of certain markings, discoloration, or irregularity in this zone may indicate digestion, absorption and metabolic problems.
Radii Solaris
These are radial lines that emanate from the pupil, resembling spokes of a wheel. If you have these lines, it is indicative of either poor digestion or the existence of toxins in the colon. If there is a specific condition an iridologist may address, you may be referred to detoxification protocols, dietary changes, or herbal remedies.
Discolouration in the Digestive Zone
Jaundice around the pupil might mean a sluggish liver, or possible issues in making bile or digesting fat. Iridologists recommend cleansing or liver-supporting supplements to help it function.
Nervous System Health
The state of your nervous system can also be found in the iris. There are certain patterns or markings that may indicate overactivity, stress or nervous tension.
Nerve Rings
Believed to signify high levels of stress or nervous tension, these circular rings around the iris are sometimes referred to as ‘nerve rings’ or ‘stress rings.’ If you think about it though, these rings indicate that the body may be under chronic pressure from emotional stress, lifestyle factors, or environmental influences. Iridologists recommend the use of relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises to help manage stress.
Inflammation and Toxicity
An iridologist also knows that another key indicator in the eye is signs of inflammation or toxicity in the body. Spots, discoloration and changes in the pattern of the iris’ fibres can be these markers.
Lymphatic Rosary
It has a string of pearl pattern around the outer edge of the iris, it is due to lymphatic congestion or poor detoxification. It may be that the body is trying to get rid of waste but can’t, which could be an indication of inflammation. Some of the recommendations may include dry brushing, lymphatic massage or herbal remedies such as echinacea.
Pigment Spots
Pigments in the iris may indicate inflammation or strain or toxicity on some part of the body. In many cases, these markings are correlated with a particular organ or system and the location of the spot can help indicate where the problem originates.

The Four Main Types of Iris Patterns

Iridology divides irises into four main categories according to their overall structure and appearance. These categories are believed to indicate different health tendencies and personality traits.
Jewel
The densely woven fibres in this pattern with their sparkling highlights are usually a sign of people who are ambitious, analytical and are mentally strong. Although they may be at risk of circulatory problems or conditions affecting the heart and arteries from a health point of view.
Flower
People with flower-patterned irises are characterised by loosely woven fibres and a petal-like appearance and are thought to be creative, emotional and intuitive. Healthwise, they may be prone to digestive problems and emotional disturbances such as anxiety or depression.
Stream
Iris fibres of this pattern look as though they are flowing water. Because of this, people who possess this pattern are assumed to be flexible, adaptable and fluid in their thinking. Although they may be more prone to kidney, bladder, and urinary system related health issues.
Shaker
Scattered disorganised fibres characterise this pattern. People with this iris pattern may be spontaneous, energetic, yet also subject to nervous system imbalances, and stress-associated health problems.
The Iridology Consultation: What to Expect
If you’re wondering what your iris patterns mean for you, consider having an iridology consultation. In the course of the consultation, through the use of a specialised magnifying glass or a high resolution camera, the iridologist takes detailed pictures of your irises. Through analysis of these images, patterns, colours and markings are identified that can provide clues about your health.
An iridology consultation usually begins with a thorough discussion of your medical history, lifestyle and present health concerns. The iridologist will then examine your irises, focusing on certain areas of your irises that correspond to different organs and systems in your body. Once they’ve found the cause they may then suggest changes to diet, lifestyle, supplements or detoxification protocols to help try and restore balance and improve health generally.
The Role of Iridology in Holistic Health
Iridology is not meant to replace conventional medical diagnostics, but many of its proponents believe that it can be an important preventive health care tool. Iridology serves to identify imbalances before they become physical symptoms, thereby providing an opportunity for potential health problems to be addressed at an early stage, allowing you to take action with changes to your diet, lifestyle and overall well-being.
Additionally, iridology also looks at the mind-body connection, which is in line with holistic health practices where emotional, physical and spiritual health are all thought of as being connected. We should consider such iris patterns as the reflection of emotional stress, which when neglected, may lead to issues in the physical side like digestive problems and chronic fatigue. Iridology focuses on the whole person and hence promotes a more holistic approach to health.
