If you believe in miracles then here is another for you. It is believed that if you gulp a live sardine fish on mrigashira karthi nakshtra for three consecutive years then you will be cured of asthama. No, no you cannot do that at home. You have to go to this Bathini Goud family, who prepare a yellow colour medicine and this medicine will be stuffed in the mouth of a sardine fish. This stuffed fish is then administered to the patient. As the fish move down your trachea, it loosens the congestion of phelgm inside. After swallowing the live fish, the patient is given another three doses of a different medicine on three successive auspicious days called ‘Arudra Karthi’, ‘Punarvasu Karthi’ and ‘Pushyami Karthi’, which fall every 15 days in a regulated span of 45 days. It is said that Veerana Gaud, the great grandfather was a nobel and kind man who distributed free toddy (palm tree wine) and bread to labourers. One day, impressed by his act of kindness, a passing holy man told Veerana the secret formula of the herbal cure of asthma and blessed his family and the place-Doodh bowli a kilometer or two away from the historic Charminar, on a condition that he must give the medicine to the needy free of cost. This family is in the offing for 160 years.
The family has not disclosed the formula of this concoction. To this date they adhere to the rule of administering the medicine free of cost. They are prohibited from commercializing the medicine, if they do the formula will lose its medicinal value and that it will no more have any effect. And there is no scientific explanation for this cure. It is due to the faith of giver and taker. Many claimed that they have cured of the asthama after taking fish prasadam as it is popularly known as. Patients not only from India but also from abroad visit this place in order to get this dose.
