For Winter and festivities
In Ayurveda, winter is associated with Vata. Vata is naturally cold and dry. It is associated with movement. Which means that whatever is warm and settling will help balancing ourselves.
Winter, the Vata season, is the time to protect ourself from cold and wind, to eat and drink warm and choose more nourrishing food (which doesn't mean they're difficult to digest!).
It brings dryness (skin, mucous membranes, muscles) so use more ghee (clarified butter) and oil in cooking. Massage with warm ripe oil, cooked at 100 degrees helps in nourishing the skin, the tendons and the muscles, It pacifies and nourrishes.
Vata is also influencing the nervous system: one might feel more tense in Winter! one could balances himself by protecting the quality of his sleep, meditate or do Yoga.
To accompany festive meals, ginger root infusion (except when gastric hypersensitivity) stimulates the digestion and the immune system! Boil a piece of fresh ginger in water for 5 to 10 minutes. Add honey if needed just before drinking. It's delicious!
