Health Routine
This is a comprehensive list, and you don't need to do all of them.
The right choice for you is the one or two that you can incorporate into your daily routine.
One or more of these interventions, however, are usually needed if the thyroid is blocked.
Please also consider utilizing binders prior to stimulating your lymphatics.
