The Collarette part 3.

The quality of the collarette reveals much about your gut. There are four categories in this aspect all relating to specific tendencies to do with gut function.

Thickened.

Dominantly thick, ropey, hypertrophic structure. It may appear like a rope or flat and thick. This has been found to be associated with a "C section" delivery. Question the client about this possibility. This quality collarette indicated a predisposition to abdominal distension due to elevated gastrointestinal bloating. Increased peristalsis can produce diarrhoea, spasm and colic. This is emphasized if the collarette is straw yellow.

Wispy.

A reduction in the quality of the collarette structure increases sensitivity in the large bowel. Nervous system sensitivity and reduced energy physically and emotionally. Strong predisposition to gastric upset. Negative reactins come from amny sources including airborne irritants, food intolerances noise, geopathic radiation, atmospheric pressures and social dynamics. This client is not usually tolerant of spicy foods. Specific food groups (especially dairy) can be individually reactive.

Obscure - hidden.

When the collarette is obscured by a central heterochromia, it indicates a strong tendency to spasms and colic as a stress response. People with this type of collarette often take on a "grin and bare it" attitude. In spite of this cheerful exterior, be aware that what you see is not what you necessarily get. They often prefer to mask their feelings when under pressure.

Obscure - absent.

Often linke to apetite disorders, a tendency to intestinal spasms and colic especially when faced with high stress situations. There may be apetite disorders and a tendency to become so preoccupied with tasks that they can litereally forget to eat. Minimal energy reserves mean these people usually respond well to power naps. Broken sleep exacerbates all tendencies.
