9. Turmeric

Curcumin, the primary compound in turmeric, is another mainstay in Eastern medicine. This root herb has anti-inflammatory effects, and curcumin, specifically, becomes more bioavailable when the golden spice is accompanied by piperine in black pepper. Turmeric can lead to less obstruction of the airways and better airflow in the lungs.
