View allI'm really curious about Ashwagandha and if it can actually help someone grow taller. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? Also, are there any home therapies you would recommend for increasing height?
Ashwagandha is an herb that is commonly used in traditional medicine for various health benefits, but there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that it can increase a person's height. As for side effects, Ashwagandha is generally considered safe for most people when taken in appropriate doses. However, some people may experience side effects such as upset stomach, diarrhea, and vomiting. There is no proven home therapy to increase height. Height is largely determined by genetics and factors such as nutrition and overall health during childhood and adolescence. If you have concerns about your height, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Is 200 blood sugar normal after eating?
Post eating blood sugar (2 hours) is normal only when it is less than 140 mg/dl.
