Most people’s epiphyseal lines close between the ages of 17 and 20. Women develop puberty one to two years earlier than men of the same age.

Traditional medicine believes that the human skeleton will close at the age of 16-18 in men and 16-20 in women. In fact, this is a misunderstanding.

Modern medicine has proven that human bones and pituitary gland are in a semi-closed and semi-dormant state between the ages of 20 and 26. After the age of 26, it is in a fully dormant state (that is, completely mustardized). When the pituitary gland is in a semi-dormant state, it can be activated through traditional Chinese medicine physical therapy.

Extended information:

There is a disc-shaped cartilage structure between the metaphysis and epiphysis of the long bones of children's limbs, called the epiphyseal plate. The epiphysis is a secondary ossification center that appears at different times after birth. The epiphyses and epiphyseal plates are the growth areas of immature long bones of the limbs, and are also the weakest and most susceptible parts of bones in children.

Injury to the epiphysis can cause growth disorders of the limbs, resulting in limb shortening or joint deformity. The epiphyses and epiphyseal plates are both growth areas of the immature long bones of the limbs. In children, there are epiphyseal lines at both ends of each long bone, which are vigorously growing bone tissues. When they grow older, the epiphyseal lines will naturally disappear, that is, the epiphyseal lines are closed. The actual meaning is that the natural growth potential has been lost.
