A small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the base of the neck, thyroid is often referred to as the body's engine since it helps in regulating the growth and development of the body. Similar to mechanical failure, when the thyroid gland stops functioning, the body eventually starts to sputter. The deficiency in the thyroid gland may influence the functioning of various vital body organs like heart, brain, liver, kidneys and skin. More than 30 million Americans suffer from the thyroid disorder, out of which half remain undiagnosed. Therefore, to educate people about this common endocrine disorder, January is celebrated as Thyroid Awareness Month every year.
