Ascites is an unfortunate condition in which excess fluid accumulates in the abdomen, making you feel heavy, bloated and weighted down. While this condition isn’t life-threatening, it should be treated as quickly as possible. Garlic is a popular home remedy for the condition, as it can help to stimulate proper detoxification functions in the body by stimulating organ systems and providing a boost of antioxidants. Concentrated garlic juice can be mixed with water and drunk on a daily basis to stimulate urination and proper fluid balance within the body.
