I'm a female measuring 4 feet 11 inches in height, born to short parents and my age is 27, weight 43 kgs. Recently I heard and then read that pituitary meditation can help increase height even after 25. I don't know if this is true and what side effects the technique might have. Hence, I would be glad to know if I should or should not do it.
