I am having garden cress seeds around 1 tsp with water for increasing height as my grandma suggested. But from yesterday I am having throat pain. So it's due to consuming garden cress seeds or not and should I stop consuming it. I am 21 year old.

lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query. A person's height is dependent on parent 's height, environment and nutrition during early childhood. However, height grows only till 18 to 19 years because by that time our long bones growing ends stop growing. They fuse. After that there is no further increase. All these so called remedies have no effect that too when one crosses the above mentioned age. Thanks.
