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 a clear interruption between the bodies sympathetic and para sympathetic nervous system. As a child,…

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…

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 who is highly emotional and sensitive…

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…

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. According to the Toni Miller school of Iridology, the Pluriglandular has larger Lacuna and has more of a disposition to Diabetes. This structural type suggests a tendency in childhood to…

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 to the excess…

Mixed eye colours – Mixed constitution An eye which is mixed in colour, also known as the Mixed Biliary type, can be identified as having a central heterochromia (can be brown or orange) which is a major feature, that can be a mixture of blue / green with pigmentations in places. There can also be differences between the inner and outer area of the Iris. As this is a genetic type of constitution, it is usually a consequence of either parents or grandparents who have different coloured eyes, and this can be established upon discussion with the…

In Unani Medicine, the elements are primary substances that make up both human and non-human bodies. These elements are the basic or simple matters that cannot be divided and constitute the basic components of not only the human body but of every living organism and everything else in the universe. So, every compound found in nature, is a combination of these elements and whichever is in higher proportion, determines whether it exists in either the form of a solid, a liquid or a gas. There are 4 primary elements, and they all have specific characteristics: Element Light or heavy Related qualities Fire Light Masculine – weak, positive, active and delicate Air Light Masculine…

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…
