Kakarna Alkananda, a member of the Goud family, keeps a child's mouth open with the help of a pen as she prepares to insert a live fish stuffed with a yellow herbal paste into the mouth, in Hyderabad, India, Saturday, June 8, 2024. Every year thousands of asthma patients arrive here to receive this fish therapy from the Bathini Goud family, which keeps 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 the patient's throat. Photo: AP /Mahesh Kumar A
