The sodium ring appears as a whitish/grayish/yellowish ring over the circulatory and skin zone. It appears translucent around the whole iris or occasionally just around the upper half or lower half. Its presence suggests a number of possible conditions. Carry out further evaulative tests, examination, and questioning to pinpoint the cause. Recommend the client see their Primary Care Physician to get their blood pressure checked.

With all cardiac and circulatory conditions, more so than with other systems, the whole iris should be considered particularly the brain, liver, lung and kidney areas. Also early warning signs can be seen in the fingernails, legs, and lips.The extremities, the brain, hands, and feet, are most affected by poor circulation. Chronic cold hands and feet is a common complaint of people with reduced circulation.

The sodium ring, also known as the mineral ring, indicates:· An excess of inorganic sodium, usually excessive use of table salt. The sodium ring is white.· Calcium out of solution, usually when there has been a history of excessive use of dairy products. The sodium ring is whitish/gray. An overall mineral imbalance is suggested by the appearance of a sodium ring.· Excess cholesterol, excess animal fats. The sodium ring has a whitish/yellowish coloration.· Salicylic poisoning, excessive use of aspirin or magnesium through overuse of antacids. The presence of a sodium ring can also indicate fragile capillaries, rheumatic conditions and overall reduction in the body's ability to deliver nutrients to the cells and remove waste products from them.

Scurf RimThe outside border of the iris is the skin zone. This zone should be the same color as the basic underlying iris color.

Key Points· When the skin is under-active, and not eliminating toxins through perspiration and sweat as effectively as it should, this area darkens into a distinct ring that spreads in towards the pupil.

· It becomes particularly noticeable if skin eruptions are suppressed with antibiotic or cortisone treatment.

· A scurf rim in children can indicate excessive sugar in the diet.

14

Acute symptoms associated with a scurf rim are:· Excessive sweating· Oily skin· Sensitive to heat and cold· Eruptions

Chronic symptoms are: · Loss of hair· Lack of sweat· Poor complexion· Poor circulation

15

· If the scurf rim is darker or wider over one particular area it indicates that area is more affected than others.

· If a scurf rim is present, the other eliminative organs may be overloaded: remember to check these.

· Deodorants, talcum powder, mineral oils, soaps, vaccines, and injections will all darken the skin zone.
