(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 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.
