Namaste, Mitti ya chalk (seleti pencil) khane ki craving ko pica kehte hain, aur ye usually iron deficiency (khoon ki kami) ya nutritional deficiency ka sign hota hai. Simple understanding: Jab body mein iron ya minerals ki kami hoti hai, to aise unusual cravings develop ho sakte hain. Aapka poor appetite + long duration craving bhi isi taraf indicate karta hai. Simple measures that may help: Sabse pehle blood test (Hb, iron levels) karwana important hai. Diet mein include karein green leafy vegetables, beetroot, dates, jaggery (gud), black raisins. Vitamin C (lemon, amla) ke saath iron lena absorption improve karta hai. Avoid karein junk food aur empty stomach rehna. Regular meal timing maintain karein. Jaise-jaise deficiency improve hogi, craving bhi gradually kam ho jaati hai. Ayurvedic medicines with dose and timing: Lohasava – 15–20 ml with equal water, after lunch and dinner Punarnavadi Mandur – 1 tablet, twice daily after meals Ye medicines traditionally iron levels aur energy improve karne mein help karte hain. Saath mein proper diet aur deficiency correction bahut zaroori hai. Consult me for more advice and suggestions on the above medicines.
