Brief Answer:
No increase in height with Dr.AyushVeda and StepUp

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
In every girl at 21 years of age, the bones are fully developed and will not grow any more longer in length. Hence any increase in height due to the lengthening of boned cannot happen.

Both Dr AyushVeda and StepUp can cause overall growth but increase in height in a girl 21 years of age might not happen. Sometimes these contain harmful chemicals like steroid preparations and heavy metals which can lead to serious side effects.

The only way height increase is possible in a 21 years old girl is by a painful surgical way called Ilizarovs technique. This happens due to slow destruction and lengthening of bones and the person will have to remain immobilised for weeks to months with wires and rods around the legs.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Brief Answer:
Asanas can help maintain good posture.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.

By overall growth it is meant that the above preparations might contain vitamins, minerals and heavy metals in very small amounts and this can stimulate other organs in the body to cause a positive growth in structures like muscles and ligaments. However, most of these products will have different results in every person taking it and desired outcomes are not always achieved.

There is importance of yoga asanas in helping one to stay fit and stand tall. Doing asanas will not increase length of bones. It can help you maintain a good posture and also make your muscles and ligaments toned. This will make you stand or straight straight and make you appear physically fit and slightly taller in height which is only relative and not actual.

Some asanas which can help are
Suryanamaskar
Sukhasana
Tadasana
Trikonasana

Please join a yoga academy and do yoga under guidance of a qualified teacher. Doing yoga by yourself can be harmful and affect your health.

Hope your query is answered.

Brief Answer:
Both asanas are beneficial but please do carefully

Detailed Answer:
Hi Lakshmibiswas09,
Thanks for writing back with an update.

In my opinion, halasana and sarvangasana, both have benefits like improved thyroid functioning and also strengthens the spine muscles. Usually a person goes from halasana to sarvangasana , this requires little practice in the beginning and since the neck and shoulder muscles are involved, doing it wrongly can lead to serious problems. This is the reason it is best done under direct guidance of a yoga acharya.

Hope your query is answered.
