Hi Ronak, Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum.
You are having PICA, which is a pattern of eating non food materials. You may want to consult a Psychiatrist as you need Behavioral therapy.
Exercise regularly and eat healthy nutritious Balanced diet. Practice Yoga and Meditation and avoid stress.
Wish you Good Health.
