Ht stops growing at this age but cases are reported to have added to ht up to 25 yrs too, rarely.
Stretching yoga postures, Soorya namaskar esp, hanging exercises etc are useful with deep breathing and growth herbs. In food cow (desi) milk and curd, butter, buttermilk, ghee are very useful.

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) can increase height in children. But once your epiphyseal plates (also known as growth plates) close, further height growth is not possible. Your epiphyseal plates can occur anytime between the ages of 16 and 21.
