Specific interpretations regarding strychnine in iridology suggest:
White Wheal: A white ring in the outer zone of the iris, often interpreted as a sign of drug accumulation or chemical presence in the body.
White Nerve Rings: Strychnine is also associated with the appearance of white nerve rings, which are interpreted as a sign of nerve irritation or hyperactivity.
From a conventional medical standpoint, strychnine is a highly toxic neurotoxin. Poisoning causes severe muscle contractions and, during convulsions, symptoms can include:
Dilated pupils (mydriasis).
Protrusion of the eyes (exophthalmos).
Rapid, uncontrollable eye movements (nystagmus).
Heightened sharpness of vision and other senses.
Iridology is not a recognized diagnostic tool in conventional medicine, and scientific evidence does not support its claims for detecting specific diseases or chemical substances. The physical signs of strychnine poisoning in the eyes (such as mydriasis and nystagmus) are acute physiological responses to the toxin's effect on the nervous system, not a chronic change in the iris structure as implied by iridological "interpretation".

Strychnine Drugs and chemicals appearance on the iris and their poisonous effects in the body 26-06-2025 Dr. Suhas B Naturopathy Diagnosis 1
What Is Strychnine? Strychnine is a highly toxic alkaloid derived from the Strychnos nux-vomica plant. It was historically used in small amounts as a stimulant , tonic , or rodent poison . In toxic doses, it causes severe convulsions and can be fatal. 26-06-2025 Dr. Suhas B Naturopathy Diagnosis 2
Medical & Toxicological View – Strychnine Strychnine Toxicity: Overview Lethal Dose : 30–120 mg for adults Onset : Within 10–20 minutes of ingestion 26-06-2025 Dr. Suhas B Naturopathy Diagnosis 3
Mechanism of Toxicity Step Effect Blocks glycine (inhibitory neurotransmitter) Removes normal inhibition of motor neurons Hyperexcitable spinal reflexes Leads to violent, uncontrollable muscle contractions Full-body spasms (opisthotonos) Arching of the back and rigid body posture Death due to respiratory failure From continuous contraction of the diaphragm and chest wall muscles 26-06-2025 Dr. Suhas B Naturopathy Diagnosis 4 Strychnine is a potent antagonist of glycine receptors , especially in the spinal cord .
Symptoms of Strychnine Poisoning 26-06-2025 Dr. Suhas B Naturopathy Diagnosis 5 System Symptoms Neurological Seizures, convulsions, anxiety, hyperreflexia Muscular Muscle stiffness, spasms, trismus (locked jaw) Respiratory Difficulty breathing, cyanosis, eventual paralysis Consciousness Victim remains fully alert during seizures
Diagnosis 26-06-2025 Dr. Suhas B Naturopathy Diagnosis 6 Test Purpose Toxicology screen Detects strychnine in blood, urine, or stomach fluid Blood gases Assesses acidosis due to muscle activity/seizures EMG May show abnormal neuromuscular firing
Typical Iris Manifestations 26-06-2025 Dr. Suhas B Naturopathy Diagnosis 7 Iris Sign Description Chemical spots Small, dark brown or black dots or flecks scattered across the iris Drug deposits Pigmented areas often around the digestive zone (inner ring) Nerve rings Concentric circular rings (tension rings) in the iris suggesting nerve strain Radii solaris (toxic lines) Fine, radiating lines from the pupil outward, suggesting toxic absorption
Iridological Interpretation of Strychnine Location Often in the stomach or brain zones of the iris (center and upper regions) Right iris : stomach, duodenum, liver Left iris : intestinal tract, spleen 26-06-2025 Dr. Suhas B Naturopathy Diagnosis 8
Interpretation by Iridologists Strychnine in the body is believed to show: Central nervous system (CNS) stress Overstimulated nerve fibers (nerve rings) Toxic irritation in stomach/intestine zones Dark flecks indicating accumulated or residual drug toxins Sometimes misinterpreted as signs of trauma or chronic illness 26-06-2025 Dr. Suhas B Naturopathy Diagnosis 9
Treatment (Medical Emergency) 26-06-2025 Dr. Suhas B Naturopathy Diagnosis 10 Goal Approach Control convulsions IV benzodiazepines or barbiturates Support respiration Mechanical ventilation if respiratory failure occurs Decontaminate stomach Activated charcoal or gastric lavage (early presentation) Correct metabolic imbalance Fluids, oxygen, manage acidosis
