The aim of the study: To assess the influence of iontophoresis treatment with 2% potassium iodide on the level of thyroid hormones (TSH, FT3, FT4) The study group: conducting 10 iontophoresis treatments with Potassium iodide; The control group: conducting 10 placebo treatments with iontophoresis with destilled water; Intervention: 10 iontophoresis treatments with 2% potassium iodide in healthy individuals. Test the level of thyroid hormones before and after the 10 iontophoresis treatments; The study allows to assess the influence of iodine on the function of thuroid gland.
