Alternative Medicine :
Others

Alternative medicines is a whole field of treatment for diseases developed outside conventional, standard, scientific, ‘western’ medicine. Some kinds of alternative medicine, like ayurveda, are traditional systems of medicine practiced by certain people before ‘modern’ medicine became available. Others, like aromatherapy, are more recent developments. Treatments for diseases are not as rigorously tested in alternative medicine, and there is a wide range of effectiveness: some alternative treatments work when regular ‘western’ medicine fails, but others are ineffective and may cause harm.

With all due respect, medically speaking isnt putting a fish (a live one??) into ones respiratory tract suppose to cause aspiration, which can cause death if not promptly intervened. So if the 'fish' medicine is suppose to work it will do so by entering gastrointestinal tract so 'the fish helps clear phlegm in the lungs as it struggles for survival and thus clears the breath' written above is wrong.

This is an annual drama that is enacted in Hyderabad, no one knows if this thing works for asthma. Is this a hoax. In fact special trains run sometimes to get people to Hyderabad for this treatment.
