Cinnamon

This aromatic herb has secret powers besides flavoring oatmeal and cookies. Because of its anti-fungal and analgesic properties, Dr. Fratellone uses it to treat bronchitis. It tends to be warming for the body and it dilates your blood vessels, he says.

You can also sprinkle it on your food or in your latte.
