Waldorf Block: Herb'n Kids: Iridology

Iridology is the science of reading fibers in the iris to determine how the body is functioning. You can read nutrition levels, organ conditions and much more from the iris. You can also determine high cholesterol, candida infections, acidic body conditions and more. This class teaches children and parents the basic ten signs of iridology through video tutorials (the parent can then re-teach to the child or the older child can watch), hands-on drawing projects and more. Children will create their own iridology charts using three different methods and will learn about how iridology works.

An adult iridology class provides training in the practice of iridology, a holistic health assessment technique. The classes usually focuses on analyzing patterns, colors, and structures in the iris, the colored part of the eye, to gain insights into a person's overall health.

This iridology class for kids provides similar education, however, on a level that can be understood by children.

Key elements of an iridology class include the foundational principles and history of the practice, understanding iris anatomy and how different zones on an iris map correspond to body areas or organs. Students learn to analyze specific iris signs and markings and how iridology can be applied to holistic health through personalized recommendations.
Advanced adult classes may cover specific iris markings, constitutional types, the link between iridology and nutrition, integrating iridology with other healing arts, advanced analysis techniques, and ethical considerations.
Iridology is a complementary or alternative medicine practice. In essence, an iridology class provides the knowledge and skills to understand and apply iridology for holistic health assessment.
