A practical, accessible and insightful handbook on reading the eye.

The human eye is a blueprint of the bodies genetically inherited strengths and weaknesses: a comprehensive health profile that allows one to make informed dietary and lifestyle choices that fully support ones unique constitution.

This book is a guide to the often-misunderstood subject; a practical manual that can be easily used by medical professionals and interested enthusiasts alike. Complete with high quality photographs, charts and detailed case studies, this essential book should be a staple on every modern health care practitioner's bookshelf.
Taking a holistic approach, author Sarah Donoghue explores the subject of iridology from a scientific, physical and emotional perspective. It allows readers to safely examine the iris and make confident assessments, as well as formulate individualised herbal, dietary and lifestyle interventions based on information gleaned from the depths of the endlessly fascinating iris!
