Iridology

A supportive assessment tool in naturopathic care

Iridology is an observational tool used by naturopathic practitioners to help identify areas of strength and potential imbalance within the body. It is used as part of a broader assessment process, rather than as a standalone method.

The markings, patterns and characteristics of the iris can offer insight into aspects such as vitality, stress patterns, digestive function and inherited tendencies. These observations help build a more complete picture of overall health.

How iridology is used

Iridology does not diagnose disease. Instead, it supports clinical understanding by highlighting areas that may benefit from further attention or support.

Used alongside case history, symptoms and other assessment methods, iridology can help guide naturopathic care and inform personalised treatment planning.

When iridology may be helpful

Iridology may be useful for people seeking a deeper understanding of their health patterns, particularly when exploring long-standing or recurring concerns.

It is suitable for adults and families and is commonly used as part of an initial consultation or broader naturopathic assessment.
