# 6.6 Clinical Guidance & Limitations

****Training required.**** Accurate constitutional typing requires formal training in iridology. Practitioners unfamiliar with constitutional iridology should complete dedicated training before using this feature clinically.

****Not a diagnosis.**** Constitutional patterns describe inherited tendencies, not diagnoses. A patient with a Cardio-Pathological constitution has an inherited structural predisposition — they do not necessarily have heart disease. Constitutional findings must always be interpreted alongside the patient's full history, symptoms, and conventional medical evaluation.

****Homeopathic remedies.**** The remedy affinities listed for each type reflect traditional German homeopathic-iridology correlations from the CCVE research base. They are provided for ****educational reference only****. Homeopathic prescribing is individualized and requires formal homeopathic training; the constitutional type alone does not constitute a prescription.

****Pre-cancerous constitutions.**** The Psoric, Sycotic, and Carbon Nitrogen types carry a "pre-cancerous" label in traditional constitutional iridology. This describes an inherited metabolic terrain, not a prediction or diagnosis of cancer. These findings must ****never**** be communicated as a cancer risk without full evaluation by a qualified oncologist. Practitioners in jurisdictions where such communication could constitute an unlicensed diagnostic statement must exercise particular caution.

****Windows-only selection.**** The constitutional dropdown is available only on Windows desktop. The constitutional panel and PDF section will appear on all platforms if a type was selected during a Windows session — but the type cannot be modified on mobile.
