Can anyone share with me Ayurvedic Medicines or suggestions?

Hello,
The suggestion is not to suggest any medicine as these are all off no use. This is scientifically proved that apart from genetic potential, diet ,general health and growth hormone injection,nothing works to increase a person's destined height.

You need to first take wrist xrays of the patient and see for the physis, then decide on the treatment

Moreover,the growth spurt gets completed for females around 18yrs of age.Do you think any diet modification or physical exercise will improve the height of the individual in particular at this age?

IF the physis is still open - then hormones can work ,
If physis has matured and closed - then only an Ilizarov bone lengthening procedure can help

Hello,
The suggestion is not to suggest any medicine as these are all off no use. This is scientifically taking parts in physically exercises (skipping.running,jumping), diet ,general health and growth hormone injection.

Tips to Grow Taller Naturally and Increase Height.
When it comes to restful sleep, it goes without saying that this is one of the more important factors for healthy growth. Research suggests that growing teens need at least 8 hours of rest every night, with 11 hours being far more effective at promoting healthy growth

Dear Dr Rai,
at 17 her epiphyses would have probably fused and realistically she cannot hope for much height increase,anyway do check GH and thyroid hormone levels in her.As Dr shroff has suggested the Ilizarov method is perhaps the way out to increase height.
