Acupuncture for height increase

“I bumped into a flyer the other day where a guy claimed that he can increase height via acupuncture. Is it possible?” This was the first thing my friend from India asked me when we met for evening tea the other day. Being a Google expert on alternative medicine, and preferring that to conventional medicine, I am quite frequently the person who my friends revert to in case they need any suggestion in this field.

Before I go into a straightforward answer let me try to explain a bit about human body growth. Located behind a human brain is a gland called the pituitary gland. This gland is responsible in producing many hormones among them HGH is responsible for human growth. As we age this hormone production falls consistently over the years coming to as low as 70 percent by the time you are 30 – 35 years old. This gradual reduction of HGH accompanies gradual reduction of human growth. This is why an infant grows faster than a teenager or someone in their early twenties.

Now let us look in to the use of acupuncture for height increase. Acupuncture simply boosts up the body’s positive energies so that it can overcome symptoms of diseases or other conditions by stimulating various pressure points with the aid of hair thin needles. Since acupuncture stimulates the body, with an acupuncture expert can also stimulate the pituitary gland to secret more HGH into the body to trigger growth. There can never be an excess of HGH in the body since the body will naturally remove the excess HGH from the blood maintaining a perfect level. Once the HGH is in the body it needs to be guided to work ok bones and tissues making the person grow. The TCM theory relates bones to kidney with is in turn related to pituitary gonad axis. So to use acupuncture t increase height the experts can guide HGH to the bone via the TCM kidney. Alongside growing bones, acupuncture can also stimulate tissues and muscles associated with the bones to grow hence preventing spasm or muscle stretch.

Studies reveal that those below the age of 22 has over 70 percent chance while those above that age and below 30 a 60 percent chance of benefiting from acupuncture for height increase. Since acupuncture stimulates the body there is no side effect of the treatment at all.
