Hi For both kids use amalaki rasayan 1 tab twice daily after food Sukumaram rasayana 15 gm morning empty stomach And draksharishta 10 ml twice daily after food for 11 year old child and 20 ml twice daily for the 17 year old one. These are rasayana treatment medicines meant for long term consumption meant to nourish the body from within and boost up body’s metabolism . Just make sure there appetite is normal throughout the medicines. Continue using medicines for 30 days at a time. If children are complaining of any gastric discomfort make sure to give the hinguashtakam choorna 3 gm each mixed with food. Try tracking the changes. For hair health use malatyadi taila twice a week gently warming it up and massaging it to the scalp and wrapping head in warm towel for 10 minutes. Follow a well balanced diet with good protein intake, and follow yoga asanas like surya namaskara, trikonasana, dhanurasana etc. Moreover make sure your children feel well adjusted and happy

Start with Chyavanprash 1 tsp twice daily before food with water. Bananas are good, as it helps to form stron bones. This will give overall growth of the body. Height also depends on genetic, daughter can reach to father’s height. Do stretching exercises, physical activities that requires more of legs activity, like Playing volleyball, basketball, swimming, cycling, running… For B12 Give fermented foods like idli, dosa, Preparation that has yeast. Curds, sprouts, mushroom, If non-vegetarian, then Getting Vitamin B12 is easy. For hair growth,: Chyavanprash already has amla which is good for hair Apply Neelibhringadi Hair oil on scalp twice weekly keep overnight and morning wash with mild herbal shampoo. Avoid direct Sun rays exposure use hat or use umbrella when going out during the day. Include fresh green vegetables semi cooked or sauted in your diet daily.
