Is the thyroid a gland?

My neighbor was talking about her thyroid problems, and she mentioned it's a 'gland'. I always thought it was just some organ in the neck. Can someone clarify, is the thyroid actually a gland in our body?

Haan, it is a gland. My dadi used to say that neem and giloy are good for general health but for thyroid issues, better consult a doctor. Don't take any risks with serious health matters, natural remedies are for prevention or very mild things.

Hey! Yes, it is definitely a gland. Don't stress too much about the technical terms though. If you're feeling anything off, just talk to a doctor, okay? They'll explain everything properly.

Yes, it is a gland, and it plays a big role in your body's function. I had some complications because I ignored my symptoms for too long. Please, if you have any concerns, just go see a doctor right away. Don't wait like I did.

Yaar, haan, it's a gland only. Butterfly shaped, neck mein. Actually, it's super important for your metabolism and all. Don't underestimate its role, man.

Yes, it's a gland. The throat area, right? Produces hormones. Simple. If you're asking, maybe get it checked by a doc? No harm in knowing.
