I'm really worried about my two kids, one is almost 3 and the other is 1 and a half. They keep eating dust and small stones. I'm not sure why they're doing it or how to get them to stop. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I can do to break this habit?

I'm really concerned about my 9-month-old son. He's had these carry bags, or puffiness, under his eyes since he was born. We went to a local clinic today, and the doctor mentioned a few possible issues that have me worried. He said it could be related to his kidneys, allergies, or that his growth isn't quite right. Can you help me understand what might be going on here and what steps we should take next?

For delayed periods, weight gain, acne, and hair fall, consider Ayurvedic treatments like: - Shatavari or Ashoka for hormonal balance - Triphala for digestive health and weight management - Neem or Turmeric for acne and skin issues - Bhringaraj or Amla for hair fall Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance.
