A closer look at physical dysfunctions gives clues about the underlying causes of “dis-ease”.
The throat connects body and head, this is where you voice your feelings, express ideas, bringing your inner self out into the world. It is also where you “swallow” other people’s feelings thus accepting and tolerating them.
Tip-offs: Are you feeling choked? Can you express your true feelings?
Thyroid: The thyroid gland influences the chemistry of your whole body. It produces hormones for growth, cell repair and maintains metabolism and oxygen consumption.
