A member of the Goud family administers “fish medicine” to an asthma patient in Hyderabad, India, on June 8, 2012. Started by the Bathini Goud family, the therapy is a secret formula of herbs, handed down by generations only to family members. The herbs are inserted in the mouth of a live sardine, or murrel fish, and slipped into a patient's throat. (Associated Press)
