What is Iridology?

Iridology is the scientific study of the iris — the colored portion of your eye. Dating back centuries and refined through modern research, iridology is based on the principle that every organ, gland, and system in the body has a corresponding zone within the iris.

By carefully analyzing the fibers, markings, color variations, and patterns in both eyes, a trained iridologist can gain insight into your body's constitutional strengths, areas of potential weakness, and where inflammation or imbalance may be present.

Dixie Hunt has been practicing iridology in Central Iowa since 1977 — she was among the first iridologists in the state — and brings over four decades of hands-on experience to every consultation.

The iris of the eye is made up of thousands of tiny fibers, each connected to the nervous system and, through it, to every part of the body. When an organ or system is stressed, inflamed, or weakened, those changes can be reflected in the corresponding area of the iris.

Iridology offers a constitutional overview — a way of understanding your body's tendencies, vulnerabilities, and strengths so that you can make informed, natural choices about your health.

Think of it as your body's early warning system — not a diagnosis, but a conversation starter between you and your own wellness.

A Two-Person Process

Proper iridology is always a conversation. Dixie analyzes your iris and listens to your health concerns together — neither alone tells the full story.

Every zone tells a story

The iris is divided into zones, each corresponding to a specific organ or body system. The right iris maps to the right side of the body; the left iris maps to the left. Together, they create a complete picture.

  • 1Pupillary Zone — Stomach and small intestine; digestion and absorption.
  • 2Collarette Zone — The autonomic nerve wreath; nervous system activity.
  • 3Ciliary Zone — Major organs including liver, kidneys, lungs, heart.
  • 4Humoral Zone — Lymphatic system and circulation.
  • 5Peripheral Zone — Skin, extremities, and elimination systems.
