Complementary
Health Practioners
Practioners in Charlottetown, PEI, Canada, were asked a series of questions about their particular practice or therapy. The following are all of the answers provided by Rachelle Wood, Iridologist. Iridology is the science and practice of health analysis through the examination and evaluation of the coloured part of the eye called the iris. The iris is ultimately connected with the brain and the nervous system and through this path is connected with every organ in the body. Through iris analysis, we can see the conditions of all the tissue structures in the body and the location of imbalances, inherited weakness, acid deposits, toxic accumulations, and emotional and mental patterns. Iridology dates back hundreds of years, but the first iris map developed was in the early 1800's by a doctor named Ignatz von Pezcely in Hungary. He is known as the father of iridology. In his childhood it is written that he captured an injured owl in his backyard that had a broken leg. He noticed in one of its eyes that there was a black line but when the leg healed, a white mark appeared where the dark mark was. This incident started a life-long interest and study of iridology. Since then, many scientists, doctors, and health professionals around the world have studied iridology. Iridology is taught in countries like America, Australia, Germany, and Russia, where even modern medicine has begun to take notice. Rachelle Wood practices in Charlottetown, PEI.
