Weight gain is a condition which occurs due to weak or poor digestion which lead to the formation and accumulation of excessive fat or toxins in the form of Ama (toxin remains in the body due to indigestion). Garlic helps manage weight gain due to its Ushna (hot) nature which enhances the digestive fire (Agni) and improves digestion due to its Deepan (appetizer) properties. This prevents the formation of toxins, thus managing the weight of an individual.
