Anxiety Tetanic structure type This has been referred to as the ‘Larvate Tetanic’ and has been known as the ‘Vegetative Spastic.’ Its nurture points are the Gastrointestinal tract and the Nervous system as such people are workhorses and can burn themselves out. This can be identified by many circular furrows, with an unstructured collarette and possible radial furrows. This constitution has a compromised nervous system, and this can manifest as excessive function in the body organs. This creates tension in the sympathetic nervous system and the presence of any radials that cross the collarette show there is…

Connective tissue structure type This structural type is also referred to as the ‘Daisy Petal’, the ‘Hessian’ and the ‘Mesenchymal Hypoplastic.’ It is physically identified by its open course fibres, which can appear irregular and open in texture and looks like it has many Lacunae around the eye and has an appearance like wet combed hair. Its primary nurture point is the skeleton, the Muscle and the Connective Tissue which has reduced functionality, and this allows the build-up of waste in…

The Neurogenic Lymphatic structure is also referred to as the Neurasthenic and Hessian type with is primary nurture points being the Nervous system with sympathetic dominance. This eye can be identified by a wavy structure beyond the collarette with a large pupil, Mydriasis or misshaped pupil being evident. The collarette can also be jagged in nature with open fibres in the stomach area and this can also show contraction furrows too. This sympathetic dominance can manifest in a child as someone…

The Neurogenic structure is also known as ‘Silk’ and its primary nurture point is the nervous system with the Parasympathetic system dominating this type. It is identified by the fibres in the Iris being very close together indicating a strong, resilient constitution and is usually found in correlation with a small pupil, known as Miosis. Usually there may not be any major other structural signs within the Iris and can sometimes have a whitish collarette humoral area, particularly in the superior sector. This structure type is often found with people who have blue eyes and usually in childhood, are often in good health without any major…

Glandular structure type The Glandular structure type has a number of names it is known as such as: • Daisy • Abdominal reservoir • Hormonal endocrine • Pluriglandular • Polyglandular Its primary nurture point is the Glands and the Heart and physically, this is recognised by a number of similar sized Lacuna located on the edge of the collarette area. There can also be a tightly packed fibre structure beyond the collarette. The Pluriglandular is recognised by both small and large Lacunas in this area.…

Plethoric structure type The Plethoric structure is also referred to as Cardio-Abdominal or Roemheld syndrome type and the its primary nurture points are the digestive system and the connective tissue of the body. Its most commonly identifying features are the fibres being close together outside of the stomach area (collarette) and usually seen with a smaller pupil (miosis). Can also have a gross collarette extension, particular in the lower areas and may have glandular lacunas. ‘Plethora’ literally means an excessive amount of something and in the medical field, this relates to a bodily fluid which is usually blood. So as the name suggests, due…

Brown eyes – Hematogenic constitution An eye which is brown in colour, or various shades of brown are commonly known as the Hematogenic constitution type and may commonly have contraction furrows and radial furrows visible. The fibre structure can often not be seen clearly and hard to assess although other signs like Lacuna and radials can be seen clearly. This Hematogenic eyes primary nurture point is the blood and digestive system as these are the most likely common…

Blue Eyes – Lymphatic constitution An eye which is blue in colour, can also be grey or a little green to constitute being a blue eye and this is the primary genetic colour group - It is also known as the pure lymphatic type. It can also be identified as have visible fibres with a variable structure and can usually have a white collarette with a whiteish humoral zone. Some blue eye types can exhibit lymphatic tophi and some pigment colours clear and present. This is known as the Lymphatic type and its primary nurture point is the Lymphatic system which is the most common type of problems this coloured eye will likely…
