Avicenna Institute: 500: Iridology Course

with The Avicenna Institute

Iridology requires none of the inconveniences of undressing, taking blood, giving urine, or drinking unpleasant fluid. In iridology, every part of the body that is supplied with nerves has its corresponding reflex area on the iris of the eye, allowing us to interpret the organs and tissues in that sector. Iris signs can be interpreted by the trained iridologist to provide information about the client’s general constitution and their genetic susceptibility to particular imbalances.
