This course approaches iridology as a historical modality that has influenced complementary and integrative health for more than a century. Students will explore its historical foundations, traditional theories, observation methods, and contemporary scientific evidence through an inquiry-based approach. Rather than advocating for or against iridology, the course encourages students to critically examine multiple perspectives and develop their own evidence-informed understanding of its role in modern holistic health.
Explain the history, principles, and major theories of iridology to understand its development as a historical modality.
Examine iris anatomy, constitutional characteristics, and traditional observation methods using iridology assessment tools.
