Abstract :
Height is often seen as a symbol of confidence and self-esteem, with many people eager to reach their maximum growth potential. Although genetics play a significant role in determining height, there’s a growing interest in whether natural remedies like Ashwagandha can impact height growth.
Increasing height is a major concern for many people today, as a good height can boost one’s appearance, confidence, and self-esteem. If you are feeling depressed or facing school or emotional problems due to delays in your growth and development, Ayurveda offers natural solutions. Various Ayurvedic medicines can help you achieve the height you desire without any side effects[1][2].
Concept of Height:- To understand how to grow taller using Ayurvedic remedies, it’s important to know how height works. Human growth hormone (HGH) is a key factor. This hormone is produced in the front part of the pituitary gland in the brain. HGH production is highest during adolescence, which is when we grow the most. However, as we become adults, the levels of this hormone decrease, and the body stops growing taller.
Medical research shows that human height is influenced by more than just genetics; hormones play a significant role, especially in developing the 26 skeletal bones and 62 cartilaginous bones of the lower body. Stimulating the pituitary gland increases hormone production, promoting the growth of these cartilaginous bones, which can lead to increased height.
Scientific studies also indicate that many young adults can grow a few inches taller even after their lower body bones have ossified, or fused. This is because the spinal column, which makes up about 35% of our height, also contributes significantly. The spinal column contains 25 non-fusible disks that can thicken with the stimulation of growth hormone. These disks account for 25% of our total height, so if each disk thickens by just 0.25 cm, you could grow an additional 6.25 cm (2.5 inches) taller[3].
Relation of Height with Age:-
People usually stop growing at a certain age: around 25 for men and 21 for women, shortly after puberty. However, it’s possible to continue growing until 25 for women and 27-30 for men. This can happen with the help of Ayurvedic therapies, medicines, specific exercises, physical activities, and eating the right foods with proper nutrients and vitamins. However, it becomes harder to gain height as you get older[3].
