About 80% of a person’s height depends on their genetics.
After a person has reached adulthood, the chances of height increasing are less
likely. Most females reach their peak heights by 14-16 years, and males by
16-18 years. So, once the bone plates are fused, height does not increase. But
there are still ways to look taller. An erect spine can make you look a lot
taller. So, correct posture, good nutrition can help. Homeopathy can help you strengthen
your bones and streamline the functions of your hormones, including the growth
hormone, which is responsible for your height.
You can give Homeopathy a try, and the cost is bearable
too."

Homeopathic medicine will never work in your case.
Because there is no medicine in the world which can increase your height.
So please...stop here...and start exercising and concentrate on diet.

Homoeopathic medicines always work.
But it cannot change normal physiology.
Height stops at the age of 18.
Then it cannot be increased naturally.

The homeopathic medicine acts mainly on three sites:-
1. Increase Growth Hormones Production a. The growth is not only dependent on genetic but hormones equally plays important role in body`s growth. b. Your growth potential reduces especially after puberty because your pituitary gland becomes inactive. Homoeopathic medicine stimulates the pituitary gland to increased production of natural level of growth hormones, which causes growth of the cartilaginous portions of the vertebrae and the long bones.
2. Cartilages Growth Although most of your bones can`t grow any longer after puberty, the articular cartilages that connect many bones can still grow thicker. Besides the distal potion on each vertebrae, the distal end of Femur and the proximal end of Tibia each can grow up to an inch, which gives another 2 inches extra height.
3. Spinal Column Extension The Spinal column in upper body contributes significantly to r height because it accounts for 35% of total height. One important component of the spine is inter-vertebral discs. These discs are located between each of 33 vertebrae. On average, your total discs account for one-quarter the length of your vertebral column - 4.5 to 6 inches for most people. The thicker the discs, the longer your spinal column is and the taller you become. Homeopathic medicine allows your height by expanding the discs and lengthening your spine. Recent scientific research has proven that most young adults can still grow a few inches taller even after the bones in their lower body have become ossified. This is because besides the length of the femur bone, tibia bone, and other bones in the lower body, the length of the spinal column in the upper body also significantly contributes to human height.
