(SIX MINOR ZONES)-2ND MAJOR ZONE—IRIS-WREATH, BLOOD AND MUSCLE ZONES
In order to elucidate the second major zone—Blood and Muscle zone it will be necessary to clarify understanding of the iris-wreath (= Autonomic wreath). As is well known, the nutritional substances absorbed in the stomach and intestines are not all taken up from the blood, but also partly from the lymph stream. Therefore, the state of the lymph stream as denoted by the
iris-wreath must also be considered.
If the area for central nervous system is located directly around the pupil
(Pupillary margin—Neurasthenic ring) then the area for the vegetative nervous system is to be located in the iris-wreath. The signs which appear in connection with disturbances of these systems will be described under the Sign-indications.
The designation Blood Zone for the third minor zone is so chosen since the blood supports all organs of the whole body. Also, the continuous movement of the lymph occurs because of the pulsation of the blood and the effect of muscular activity upon the autonomic nervous system. As we realise, the heart must occupy a special position in this zone, and in fact the right heart is located in the right iris at 45′-50′, and the left heart in the left iris at 10′-15′. The aorta is located in the left iris at 8′-10′.
Besides the heart, the pancreas, kidneys, adrenals and hypophysis, are also located in the second major zone, with their particular signs commencing at the iris-wreath.
The pancreas is seen in several places. The position of this gland in the body corresponds to:
The head of the pancreas—from 49′-52′ and 10′-12′ in the right iris. (The head of the pancreas is embryologically separate and extends to the transverse part of the pancreas.)
The long body and tail-end extends to the spleen, and is indicated when affected at 38′-42′ and 19′-22′, in both irides, also commencing directly at the iris-wreath.
The kidneys are shown when diseased at 28′-30′ in the right iris, and at 30′-32′ in the left iris. Like the kidneys, the suprarenal glands have their positions directly at the iris-wreath—in the right iris at 30-32′ and in the left iris at 28′-30′.
The hypophysis lies, beginning close to the iris-wreath, in the right iris from 6o’-63′, and in the left iris from 57′-60′.
The urinary bladder is also to be seen in the second major zone, at 23′ in the right iris, and at 37′ in the left iris. The prostate gland is sometimes shown at the same location adjacent to it, towards the iris-rim.
The gall-bladder has its area in the right iris from 37 ‘-39′, and the uterus from 26′-27′—also in the right iris. The area for rectum is found in the corresponding area of the left iris—32-34′.
The tonsils lie at 13′—14′ in the right iris, and at 46-47′ in the left iris. The disease signs of these last named organs, like the urinary bladder, prostate gland, gall-bladder, uterus, anus and tonsils, have no direct connection with the iris-wreath. One can thus distinguish between a
gall-bladder and a pancreatic condition when presented.
The bronchi show their signs mainly as extending from the iris-wreath to the sixth minor zone (Scurf rim): right iris 43 ‘-45′, and left iris 15′-18′. The trachea registers in the right iris at 12′-14′, whereas in the left iris the oesophagus shows at 46′-48′ in the corresponding position.
In this diagram the muscle zone is also shown. In this case it is not a question of seeing all muscles, as for example those of the stomach and intestines, but of assessing the general state of the voluntary muscles and the heart muscle.
The state of the muscular system is shown in the iris by the appearance of the lacunae. If the lacunae appear inside the iris-wreath, then the state of the muscle layers of stomach and intestines is indicated. When small lacunae are observed outside the rim of the iris-wreath, then a lability of the circulation is indicated. When the lacunae extend to the muscle zone, then the muscle fibres of the organs indicated by the particular areas involved are weakened through defective blood supply. If the lacunae extend fully to the iris margin, then it indicates that even the bones and mucous membranes suffer from nutritional disturbances.

FORWARD PLANNING
If you suffer from really bad cramps and the pain is accompanied by vomiting and fainting, you won’t need to be advised to stay at home until the worst is over. It is better to miss, say, a couple of hours’ work in the morning than to have to be sent home in a taxi because you have dropped like a stone by the coffee machine. If it’s the aching miseries you have to cope with at work, the best advice is to plan ahead as early and as often as you can. Use that chart you have been keeping, so that you can predict when you are going to be likely to find life difficult. If you suffer from serious mood swings, it’s a good idea to warn your friends and workmates in advance that for the next few days you’re going to be tricky. It can also help you to live through a particularly bad patch if you know in advance exactly how many hours or minutes you have to endure any irritation or provocation before a rest break or lunch hour will give you the chance to remove yourself from it. It’s a little easier to cope with mood swings if you can get off somewhere else and spend time with a different group of people. With thought and planning this sort of change is often more possible than you’d think.
But if, after all your careful planning and all your warnings, you still find yourself in the middle of a row, try to remember how useful it is to relax. Try to drop your shoulders, unclench your fists, or breathe in a lower gear. It could give you a valuable moment to regain control before the row gets even worse. It will certainly make you feel calmer, if nothing else. Of course, it won’t always work, because our emotions can run so high at period time. But it’s worth a try.
If your particular mood plummets to depression, you won’t be in a very good position to help yourself. The trouble with depression is that it makes you slow and clumsy, so that your work is noticeably below standard, and that in itself will depress you further. One of the best tonics when you’re down is to be justly praised for work you’ve done especially well. But sadly, very few employers seem to understand how very valuable praise is, and even fewer are skilled enough to give it and mean it. It’s easy enough to find fault, of course. And if you’re suffering from a change of mood, you’ll be making mistakes and be wide open to criticism. If you’re a boss yourself, you’ll be far more likely to praise the women who work for you, but it will be more difficult to persuade your superiors that they ought to praise you. Perhaps your good example will inspire them. Failing that, try praising them. It might give them the idea.
Many women find it helps to wear their prettiest clothes or dress in their favourite colour. Others say it helps to take special pains with their make-up or their hair — this is something that women who need to wear uniform can do to cheer themselves up. Far from being vanity, this is often a means of ensuring that you feel worthwhile and normal. Although it has to be admitted that if you are really deeply depressed you won’t be able to take an interest in anything, even (or especially) your appearance.
It often helps to warn your bosses that you might be off-beat for a few days, but honesty like this can have a bad effect too. It could blight your hopes of promotion, for plainly, if an
employer has to choose between two equally capable candidates for promotion and one admits to times when her work will be below par, he will choose the other person. So if you are interested in getting on, you either have to hide your difficulties from your boss, or admit to them but take great care that you are noticed when you are at your best and working exceptionally well. Never wait modestly for them to notice you. It’s a busy world and they probably won’t. You must blow your own trumpet, loud and clear. I can almost hear some mothers from the past saying ‘Nice little girls don’t show off!’ But I’m afraid successful career girls, and boys, do. They have to.
Finally, no matter how miserable, off-balance or quick tempered your moods may be making you, take heart and keep your eyes open. You’re not the only one and at least you have the comfort of knowing that you are trying to do something about it. If you look around you will see plenty of other people in bad moods — moaning or nagging or puce with anger. And a lot of them will be men!
