Red blood vessels in the sclera or the ‘white of the eye’ explained

Fine red blood vessels in the sclera, or the “whites of the eye”, that surrounds the iris are a sign of a tendency to allergies, whether to food or sensitivity to airborne allergens such as dust mites, pollen or smoke.

The body is trying to protect itself from the offending toxins or allergens to prevent further damage to tissues and organs. If possible, identify the allergen and remove it from your diet or environment.

How will an iridology consultation help?

An iridology consultation will include careful questions in relation to your diet, lifestyle and look closely at any symptoms, such as gastrointestinal discomfort, bloating, irregular bowel patterns, skin problems, acne or rashes, headaches, sinus, catarrh, fatigue or mood swings that may indicate and confirm the presence of possible allergens in the diet or the environment.

Once the offending substance has been identified, dietary advice is provided on nutritional advice, which may exclude wheat, egg, gluten or dairy or another allergen food.

It is vital to eliminate these foods so the body may detoxify, providing relief from symptoms and a return to health. Often herbs and digestive support such as enzymes and probiotics are prescribed to assist in the body’s detoxification and healing process.

The picture of your iris taken in an iridology consultation provides your naturopath with a map to indicate ways to help and support underlying health issues, allowing you to live a healthier life.

The beauty of an iridology assessment is that it is non-invasive and is complementary to most treatments.
