Iridology/ Ear Candeling

Nella Simic
I moved to the United States in 1995 to escape the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. My husband and I raised our two daughters in Bowling Green, Kentucky and ever since we have made it a point to provide and maintain a stable life for our family. Couple of years later, my husband's dream of owning his own restaurant came true and thus Brickyard Cafe was opened. This motivated me to chase my dream and since I obtained a degree in horticulture back home, my career plan was set. The opportunity to open up my own business was a blessing, especially since I am involved with something that I truly love and has always been a part of my life.

Iridology: A study of the eye to see where the body needs nutritional attention. Man has the ability, with nutrition and proper exercise, to cleanse and strengthen the body. Iris analysis provides the ability to know exactly where the toxins are, where inflammation is present, and most importantly where our inherited weaknesses are. Every part of the body is attached to a nerve. These nerves travel up through the spinal column to part of the brain, and then the nerves dead end into the optic nerve. Iridology is based on the markings, structures, pigmentation and color variations in the iris, which are located in specific areas.

What to Expect When You Visit An Iridologist
When making the observation the iridologist may use any one or all of the following pieces of equipment – a slit lamp microscope; magnifying glass or camera. The observations that the iridologist makes are compared against “iris charts” which split the iris into zones that directly relate to areas of the body. The underlying platform of iridology is that that eyes act as a “window” to a person’s health & well being. This “window” enables the practitioner to see whether areas or organs within the body are healthy, inflamed or “over active”. It also enables them to assess a person’s past/ possible future health problems & consider if the patient has a susceptibility to certain diseases. It is important to understand that iridology is simply a method of diagnosis & analysis it is not a therapy or treatment. It is however an effective alternative system of diagnosis which helps practitioners better understand & treats their patients & builds a diagnosis.

Iridology Treatment
Nutrition plays an important part in iridology, when your body is weak it is susceptible to attack from virus and disease, if the body has a nutritional deficiency it will be weakened and the deficiency shows in the iris. After an iridologist has studied your iris pattern they may recommend a natural nutritional program to you that will restore the nutritional balance and strengthen your body. Iridology will not show a specific disease but it will show if there is a weakness in a certain area often before any symptoms have started so you can take preventative measures. The iris surrounds the center, or pupil. Light enters through the pupil and is focused by the lens into an image on the retina. The nerves of the iris are connected to a part of the brain known as the hypothalamus.
The left eye is believed to correspond with the left side of the body and the right eye with the right side of the body. In general, the higher organs like the brain are at the top of the iris and the lower organs like the kidneys are at the bottom.
