Learning to loosen physical and mental knots Every third person has them, and when you discover them, the alarm bells ring - thyroid nodes. In addition, they are much more than just a physical symptom, because according to the latest findings, the thyroid gland is considered the "seat" of the soul and is therefore very centrally responsible for our well-being. But where do these nodes come from? How dangerous are they? Do we need invasive procedures like surgery, radiation or microwave therapy? Dr. med.

The decisive factor is: take your own in time.
