Traditional Fish Medicine For Asthma

Hundreds of asthma patients from different parts of India took the traditional fish herbal drug but the numbers have drastically come down this year.

The Bathini Goud family, which has been administering the herbal drug with fish free of cost for over 160 years, continued distribution of the medicine since Saturday night at Exhibition Grounds in the heart of the city.

About 300 members of the family gave the medicine through the night and this exercise is expected to continue till Sunday night.

The ‘prasadam’ is administered on the occasion of ‘Mrigasira Karti’, which heralds the onset of monsoon. It started at 7.32 p.m. Saturday, the time decided by astrologers.

The Bathini family performed traditional prayers at their ancestral house in Doodhbowli before the event.

However, the turnout has drastically come down as the medicine is losing its popularity with every passing year due to controversies surrounding its ingredients.
