Asthma sufferers gather every June in the South Indian city of Hyderabad to gulp down the fish with a yellow herbal paste, in the hope it will help them breathe more easily. Administered by the Bathini Goud family, the therapy is a secret formula of herbs, handed down by generations only to family members.
Fortunately, for the last 170 years the Goud family of Hyderabad has been offering an amazing cure based on 'the wisdom of the sacred sages of ancient India.'
Mr. Veeranna Goud used to distribute a pot of "TODDY" along with white bread to the labourers who had been working hard, making them quench their thirst and also creating merriment in their hearts. He was kind, generous and charitable by nature; he practiced charity by giving to the poor free of cost, a part of what was sold.
In the year 1845, a holy man happened to meet Mr. Veeranna Goud. That holy man was impressed with Mr. Veeranna's nature and gave this secret formula of some miraculous "HERBS" and blessed the well and the place of administration of Bathini Mrugasira Fish. He blessed Mr. Veeranna Goud with this gift and also instructed him to distribute this Herbal food supplement for Asthama patients "FREE of COST" to the sufferers of this dreaded disease.
The secret formula of this wonder cure was passed to Shiva Ram Goud who later passed it on to Shanker Goud. Popularity of this cure was greatly gained during Shanker Goud's tenure. The practice flowed down to the five sons of Shanker Goud. Since then, the formula of the Herbal food supplement for Asthama patients has been found quite effective in providing a complete cure if taken by a patient for four consecutive years. It has been the practice of the GOUD family for the past 170 years to offer this Herbal food supplement for Asthama patients FREE to those who need it.
