2. Obesity

An increase in weight is due to unhealthy food habits and lifestyle which leads to a weak digestive fire. This increases accumulation of Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion) causing an imbalance in Meda dhatu and thus resulting in obesity. Babool Gond might be useful to control obesity as it helps improve metabolism and reduce Ama by increasing digestive fire. This is due to its Deepan (appetizer) nature. Babool Gond might also manage excess fat in the body due to its Lekhaniya property.
