Natural Medicine Therapy Panels
5. Natural Medicine Therapy Panels
Last Updated: March 24, 2026The four therapy modules are **optional overlays** on top of the core iris analysis. Each panel takes the zone findings from the analysis pipeline (flattenings, protrusions, and ANW shifts) and maps them to a specific natural medicine framework. They are educational and reference tools intended for licensed practitioners who are already trained in the corresponding...
5.1 Enabling the Therapy Modules
Last Updated: March 24, 2026Each module is toggled independently in **Settings**. Disabled modules produce no panel and no PDF section. | Module | Setting key | Default | |——–|————-|———| | Herbal Recommendations | Herbal mode | Off | | Nutrition Recommendations | Nutrition mode | Off | | Chiropractic Correlations | Chiropractic mode | Off | | TCM Correlations...
5.2 How Zone Findings Drive the Therapy Panels
Last Updated: March 24, 2026**Qualifying finding types** | Finding type | Badge | Weighting in ranking | |————–|——-|———————| | Flattening (lacuna / crypts) | **FLAT** | severity × 1.2 (highest priority) | | Protrusion (raised sector) | **PROT** | severity × 1.0 | | ANW shift (ring displacement) | **ANW** | deviation × 0.8 | Findings are ranked by...
5.3 Herbal Recommendations Panel
Last Updated: March 24, 2026**Data source** The herbal database (`assets/therapy/herbal_database.json`) is derived from a 5,722-page CNRI knowledge base. It is structured as: condition name → list of herbs, each with a reference count. The reference count reflects how many source documents cited that herb for that condition. Higher counts indicate broader cross-reference support. **How it works** 1. The engine...
5.4 Nutrition Recommendations Panel
Last Updated: March 24, 2026**Data source** The nutrition database (`assets/therapy/nutrition_database.json`) is structured around organ systems, with each organ entry containing: – **Key nutrients** — vitamins, minerals, and cofactors known to support that organ – **Color-coded foods** — foods grouped into 7 diet colors (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue/Purple, White, Brown) – **Supportive herbs** — culinary and medicinal herbs cross-referenced...
5.5 Chiropractic Correlations Panel
Last Updated: March 24, 2026**Data source** Spinal segment data is compiled directly into the app (no external asset file is loaded at runtime). The zone-to-segment mapping follows the **pupillary-border iridology convention**: | Iris clock position | Spinal region | |——————–|—————| | 12 o’clock (upper-central) | Upper Cervical C1–C4 | | 10–11 / 1–2 o’clock (upper) | Mid/Lower Cervical C4–C7...
5.6 TCM Correlations Panel
Last Updated: March 24, 2026**Data source** TCM data is compiled into the app (no external file). Each iris zone × eye-side combination maps to a specific TCM organ system entry. The TCM map is eye-side-specific: for example, the middle-temporal zone is the **right lung** in OD and the **left heart / pericardium** in OS — which is the same...
5.7 Reading Therapy Panels Together
Last Updated: March 24, 2026The four panels are designed to be **complementary, not redundant**. A practitioner might use: – **Herbal panel** → identify specific botanical agents with the strongest cross-reference evidence for the affected organ system – **Nutrition panel** → build a dietary protocol using the 7-color food guide for the same organ – **Chiropractic panel** → identify the...
