This is the case of an 18-year-old female who consulted us with a complaint of craving for indigestible foodstuffs including charcoal and chalk. She had this habit since a child and her family always thought that this would improve with time. However, these complaints were only increasing with age. She had an irresistible desire for those foods even though she knows that these things are inedible. She added that now since the past few weeks she is having excessive acidity and had one- two episodes of vomiting. Her appetite had decreased and she was losing weight. Along with all this, she was also suffering from excessive constipation. She passed stools only three times in a week and those stools required great straining. Based upon the symptom picture we gave her the Homoeopathic Remedy Alumina. Her constipation showed improvement by the end of one month of treatment. By the end of six months, she got rid of Pica.
