Subject: to grow tall

Question
 i'm 20 and 5'7.can you tell how to activate pituitary gland through acupuncture so that i can grow taller ?

Answer
Hello,

After discussing your case with a colleague, I must defer to his greater expertise in the area of the brain. The end of the growth stage is actually around 22.

You still have 2 years!!

I would check with a Chiropractor that sells Standard Process herbs.
They can make sure you are getting the nutritional support you need
with products that target the pituitary and liver. HgH is produced in the Liver, so you would want to make sure you have proper support there as well.

I would also see an acupuncturist to needle kidney and liver points and to get some serious kidney unifying herbs as well.

I would also suggest that you go see a cranial sacral specialist, as their work can directly affect the structures of the brain.

You have 2 years, spend the money, have people do the work.
I think you'll have great success.

Take care,

R. Scott Malone L.Ac.




According to TCM the kidneys are responsible for maturation and developmental growth. TCM doesn't necessarily recognize the pituitary specifically. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the answer, if possible, would be to stimulate the kidneys and take unifying herbs.

There are a lot of people doing some pretty interesting things with scalp acupuncture to directly stimulate the different areas of the brain to help with a wide variety of issues from motor issues and vision to Parkinson's. While it isn't exactly traditional, it does work, and rather well.

So in answer to your question, I would look at unifying the kidneys, and then find someone skilled in a more modern scalp acupuncture to try to stimulate the pituitary.
