Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
There are many factors that allows to stop the height growth like genetic or family history. If your parents are shorter in height then it is less likely that you grow taller then a certain height. Also, if there is some genetic issue with your body then that does not allow you to grow as well. However, if there are no such genetic or medical issues then at this age you can surely increase your height if you do proper exercises like swimming, jumping jacks, cycling, pull-ups, and yoga exercises like Tadasana and Vriksh asana. These exercises will stretch all muscles of your body. Along with exercise, you will need to take proper nutritious food like lots of fruits, vegetables of all kinds, milk, and dairy products and if you prefer then some meat, eggs or fish.
There are lots of homeopathic medicines that can help to grow your height, however, those are prescribed based on the complete makeup of your body like physical, mental, and emotional health. This history can be achieved only after detailed case-taking and understanding you as a person. If you wish to use homeopathic treatment for this issue then let me know I can try to help you out. In the meantime try above mentioned methods for a month and let me know if you see any bit of improvement.
