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.

My mom's 57 and she's been on omnacortil 10 mg for the past 8 years because of her skin Ellery disease. But now she's got diabetes and some BP issues, so the doctors said she can't take it anymore. Ever since she stopped, she's really weak, can't eat, and is vomiting. What should we do? Can you help us out?
sudden withdrawal from long-term steroid use (8 years) can lead to severe adrenal insufficiency, and the doctor may recommend a gradual tapering off of omnacortil to prevent withdrawal symptoms, while also managing her diabetes, BP, and skin condition with alternative treatments.
