For most of us, winter is the time for parties, good food and dressing up.
But some people are badly affected by the decrease in sunlight.
In fact, many people dislike winter.

The reason why people react differently to different seasons is explained by ayurved.
According to ayurved, winter is a combination of two energy systems that can give rise to health problems.
The dry, cold energy system is called vata and can cause arthritis, and the cold, moist energy system is called kapha and can cause sinus problems.

 in winter, people who are predominantly kapha in nature feel unwell, while vata people feel uncomfortable.
How does this work? Vata people tend to be lean, with dry skin and a restless nature. In winter, they feel cold and depressed.
 They crave lots of cups of tea or coffee, which results in stomach disorders. Their hands and feet are always cold, and they are prone to joint pains in this season

To keep themselves warm, vata people should drink herbal teas rather than regular tea or coffee, which tend to over-stimulate the system.
 There are several herbal teas available for people with vata natures. A tulsi tea with warming spices like ginger or black pepper would be good.
And saffron is also warming for vata people.
