Height gain

2020-10-20 13:50:21
Sir/madam, I'm padmaja. My 14yr old daughter gained only 3cm from the past 3yrs(since she attained her puberty). I heard that ashwagandha helps in gaining height with some exercises. Shall we start putting ashwagandga in her diet? Does ashwagandha really helps in gaining height?

Height of person depends upon lot of factors like genetic potential, hormones like thyroid, growth hormone, nutrition... AS per your history, if your daughter has already started with menses likely hood of gaining height is very minimal... As mostly bones get fused at that age... Still u consult endocrinologist for detailed history and evaluation like bone age of required.. About ashwgandha, it won't help
Next Steps
Consult Endocrinologist
