Guest guest Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Hi , I think that site is as valuable as any book that would be useful to a lay person. If you follow the arrows it goes quite in-depth...and even 'translates'. I haven't got any info on whether they use iridology...I'll have to try to remember to ask one of my Chinese docs. They do use sclerology according to TCM theory. I learned it in school but apparently only long enough to be tested on it....since I remember very little. " Dr Stuart Mauro, a Doctor of Oriental Medicine in Dallas, Texas, provided the earliest record of sclera information relating to body health to the INternational Sclerology Institute. It comes form a thousand-year-old Chinese text that records the knowledge, which had been handed down for many thousands of years prior. The Chinese view of the sclera was based on the 12 meridians and the yin yang aspect of each meridian. The Chinese saw the lines in the sclera reflection of principles of acupuncture. THus they interpreted imbalance in the meridian energy registers in the sclera. The sclera was used as a met along with tongue diagnoses and pulse diagnoses. A certain type of line in the liver zone would reveal or confirm " heat in the liver. " A wavy line to the spleen zone would confirm " dampness in the spleen.
