In the realm of holistic health practices, few techniques fascinate and inspire as much as iridology. We sat down with Ginger DeClue of Detox by DeClue to unravel the mysteries of iridology and its importance in today’s health and wellness scene.
What is Iridology?
Iridology is not new; it’s an ancient technique that leverages the unique patterns in our iris to understand potential health concerns and toxic build-up in the body. “Each part of the body corresponds with a specific region of the eye,” Ginger shares. Contrary to some beliefs, iridology is not a diagnostic test. Instead, its primary aim is to highlight potential weaknesses and toxic build-ups that might negatively impact health. Interestingly, as one embarks on a detox journey, their iris too shows signs of rejuvenation.
Detox by DeClue and Iridology
In Detox by DeClue, iridology serves as a foundational step. After the iridology report, there is a detailed consultation that can lead to a customized herbal protocol, depending on the findings. Ginger emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach, explaining that certain conditions, like viral infections, can’t be discerned from an iris reading alone. Therefore, a brief medical history complements the iridology report to ensure a comprehensive understanding of one’s health.
Training and Expertise
Most of Ginger’s training stems from dedicated self-study and mentorship, though she did complete an iridology certificate course under Dr. Morse. “Wisdom only comes from practice,” she tells us. And with over 4,000 sets of eyes read, Ginger’s experience speaks for itself.
Benefits of Iridology
Ginger is quick to emphasize that iridology doesn’t diagnose. Instead, it offers insights into potential bodily weaknesses. This understanding is invaluable for determining potential areas of focus and care.
The Iridology Process
Ginger’s approach is student-centric. The entire procedure, from photographing one’s iris with a cell phone camera to receiving a detailed 14-page report, is designed to empower individuals with knowledge about their body.
Interpreting the Iris
Diving into the fascinating world of iris patterns, Ginger shares that eye color can actually change with detox. While only blue and brown are considered “true” colors, various factors, such as liver issues, can contribute to the perception of green or hazel eyes. By understanding these subtle changes and markings in the iris, it becomes possible to identify potential health concerns or pathways that need attention.
Memorable Cases
Among the myriad of cases Ginger has seen, a standout involved an individual who’d recently faced a traumatic breakup and subsequent accident. Their iris revealed significant damage near the heart/lung region, highlighting how emotional and physical trauma can manifest in our eyes.
Integration with Other Modalities
For many, iridology offers the validation they’ve long sought, especially when traditional medical tests don’t pinpoint the root of their ailments. Ginger believes that integrating detox practices with conventional treatments can lead to a comprehensive and effective health journey.
In a world increasingly leaning towards personalized healthcare, iridology presents a unique perspective, allowing us to listen to the stories our eyes wish to share. Through professionals like Ginger DeClue and practices like Detox by DeClue, it seems we’re on a promising path towards holistic well-being.
