    what is the best season to use it? Can this be used in nov, december cold months? Reason I ask is because that seems to be the time the kids need more vitamin C to ward off cold and sinus issues. can u please let me know. And gooseberry is supposed to cool your body. So really confusing .

    You can give gooseberry anytime in moderation. During cold months, you can make gooseberry rice or chutney instead of raitha. Do do not get confused. Anything in moderation is fine.
