Ginseng Feedback: this is a genetic condition and it can’t be changed, to help grow higher you must see a doc specializing in children endo-crinology.
the natural remedy you ask for is any herb or food containing high levels of iodine like kelp or see weeds or fish, they stimulate the thyroid gland that is in charge with growth.
the docs have today a drug they inject to stimulate growth is a hormone (GH)

Ginseng Feedback: This is a genetic condition in which a female has only one X chromosome. Short height and lack of ovarian development are part of it.

Hormone therapy is recommended but you will need to see a medical doctor and have this prescribed.
