Are Indian spices like turmeric good for the lungs?

Curcumin, the bioactive in turmeric, exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-modulatory properties, showing potential in reducing airway inflammation and oxidative stress in lung diseases like COPD, asthma, and pulmonary fibrosis. Clinical evidence remains preliminary. Just 1–3 grams daily might help—but more isn’t always better.
