Hello Pratiksha,
Remember that your natural height is your genetic cause. Physical exercise and diet are the natural factors facilitating increase of height. The height of a girl increases naturally till 18years of age. In few cases this age extends 2-3 years more. But after puberty also there is chance of increasing height upto 2-3 inches more by stimulating Growth Hormone. This can be done by ancient body stretching exercise technique called "Pilates". So you can join "Pilates" classes conducted by some Physiotherapists (Certified and trained for Pilates). If you combine these exercises with artificial growth hormone(HGH) supplements such as pills or sprays, you can obtain amazing results.

Regular cycling increases flexibility of your leg muscles especially thigh and calf.
Wish your dream come true soon and you achieve a good height.

Hi,
You right to look for Ayurveda remedies it will help sure if you will consult the specialist and generally Ayurveda therapies hasn’t side effects, but also don’t forget about right diet rich in proteins. If you haven’t contraindication your meal must be plenty of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins ( meat, fish, eggs, milk, fresh salads and especially fresh juice from variable fruits, etc. ). Physical activity- gymnastic, sport like basketball, swimming must be mandatory daily, unless you haven’t restrictions.
Take care.
