Clinically, I also met parents who wanted their kids to grow tall. There are two points you can use: (GV14) Da Zhui and (GV12) Shen Zhu. It’s best to do moxibustion in the springtime and in the morning. The result for some kids is not immediate in the first year, but the parents notice obvious changes in the second year. Doing moxibustion on these 2 points can also help kids prevent catching cold.  

• A lady in Chongqing gave birth to her male baby in her thirties. The baby is not in good health. She is also anxious to take care of the child so he can grow well. After she learned moxibustion, she first tried by herself with very good results.  It happened that the child had a fever and cough. She then did moxibustion on the (GV12) Shen Zhu point for her child. As a result, the child recovered quicker than ever before.

• Later, she helped the child with more moxibustion on this point. Unexpectedly, the 3-year-old child grew more than one centimeter in more than a month. She was very happy and said with excitement that moxibustion saved her child and saved her from her anxiousness as a mother.

One thing I also notice is that most kids who are below normal height, mostly have a poor appetite. So, I tell the parents to do moxibustion around (CV 8) Shen Que, or belly button, in addition to (GV 12) Shen Zhu to boost his appetite as well. 

If your child has a height concern, you can try these. There is no harm.
