Fish therapy is a traditional Turkish treatment that has become a popular form of beauty and wellness around the world over the years. The main principle of this treatment is to use microorganisms and other natural substances carried by certain fish to cleanse the skin, remove dead skin cells and promote blood circulation.
The smell of sulfur, as if it was a rich and mysterious force, permeated the air, filling the whole environment with a warm and unique atmosphere. In the steaming hot spring water, the clear blue sky seems to be reflected on the water, creating a beautiful and moving picture. The area where the hot springs are located is Turkey in the 14th century, and at that time, people had developed a very unique Xi custom of bathing in hot springs, which has been an integral part Xi of local life for hundreds of years.
During the holidays in Turkey, people flock to the healing spa resorts where the environment is beautiful, the air is fresh, and the air is extremely comfortable and relaxing. Here, people can leave behind the fatigue and stress of daily life and enjoy the comfort and health that the hot springs bring to their heart's content.
There are a pair of Turkish brothers, Hamid and Ali, whose home is only a few kilometres from the mountain hot springs, so they often drive there on weekends to indulge in the pleasures of the thermal baths. Every time they go to the hot springs, they take off their clothes and walk naked into the warm water, letting the water gently caress their whole body, feeling the comfort and comfort.
One day, Hamid was sunbathing comfortably on the beach when he felt something bite his calf, and he looked down to see a small school of tiny fish surrounding his toes, sometimes swimming around, sometimes sucking on the dead skin around his toes. Hamid was startled at first, but looking at the busy appearance of the little ones, he suddenly felt that the feeling of being surrounded by fish was quite interesting.
The little ones seemed to be doing a foot massage for Hamid, and their movements were gentle and powerful, giving Hamid a very comfortable feeling that Hamid was standing there and enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by fish, and he felt that it was the most wonderful moment he had ever experienced.
"Haha, Ali, you're so right," Hamid said to Ali with a smile on his face, clearly amused by Ali's words.
After a few weeks of recuperation, Hamid found that his beriberi had been miraculously cured. He was very happy because the disease had plagued him for many years. Ali was also happy to tell his brother that his athlete's foot had healed without medicine, which undoubtedly brought them great relief. They began to reflect on their lives during their recuperation and found that they were well rested and cared for in the spa resort, and they were often massaged by the spa fish, which improved their physical condition.
After thinking deeply, they realized that these hot spring fish might be the ones who cured their beriberi.
Since their first experience of small fish massage in this spa, the brothers have been coming here almost every week to enjoy it, and they have also recommended this place to their friends, making more and more people attracted to try this fresh experience. This discovery has also attracted widespread public attention and interest, and has gradually formed a certain influence in the surrounding area and society.

In the mid-19th century, when the first European and North American tourists came to Turkey, they were pleasantly surprised to discover this unique form of wellness that cleanses and relaxes by allowing the small fish in the hot springs to nibble on their skin.
Today, the spa has become a distinctive calling card of Turkey, attracting tourists from all over the world.
A writer's wife from England described in detail in her travelogue the pleasure of enjoying a small fish massage in a hot spring, which aroused great interest in many Western countries.
In the first half of the 20th century, as the demand for hot spring baths increased around the world, spa operators began to look for a new way of doing business, so they introduced a special hot spring fish from Turkey, which was introduced and loved by customers. After entering the 30s of the 20th century, this special hot spring fish was introduced to the United States, the United Kingdom, France and other countries, bringing great economic benefits to the local hot spring bathing places.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty, China had joined the ranks and began to introduce this special hot spring fish, making China's hot spring bathing places more distinctive.
However, some enlightened businessmen have shipped Turkish fish to the country and introduced it to the domestic market as a new type of spa therapy, promoting fish therapy in spa shops. These traders introduced Turkish fish to the domestic market not only because they help people relieve fatigue and stress, but also because they absorb dirt and dead skin on the surface of people's skin, thus making people's skin smoother and healthier.
With the progress of transportation, the large-scale transportation of small fish has become possible, and the new health care method of fish therapy has gradually been accepted by people everywhere and has been widely promoted throughout the country.

3. The dark side of fish therapy
First, we need to recognize that ichthology is not a foolproof treatment, and while it may be an effective treatment for some, it may not work for everyone. For those with serious illnesses or physical weakness, fish therapy may have some adverse effects.
In addition, there are some safety hazards associated with fish therapy. For example, if you are accidentally bitten by a fish during a fish treatment, it can lead to infection or other health problems. In addition, if the fish therapy equipment is not clean or disinfected thoroughly, it may lead to cross-infection. Therefore, before choosing to have a fish spa, it is best to understand your physical condition and choose a formal fish spa place to ensure your safety and health.
Finally, we also need to recognize that fish therapy is not a sustainable treatment. If we rely too much on fish therapy to address health issues, it can have adverse effects on the environment. Therefore, when choosing a treatment, we should consider various factors and try to choose a treatment that is environmentally friendly.
Hot spring fish spa has swept the world like wildfire, but with it comes the dark side of this regimen. In 2018, Sarah from Brisbane, Australia, plans to go on vacation to the neighboring Thai island of Phuket.
When Sarah learns that the hot spring fish spa is good for her skin, she doesn't hesitate to choose a fish spa shop. The staff carefully prepared the bath for her and told her that these were precious hot spring fish. Sarah stepped into the water excitedly, feeling only the small fish gently sucking on her toes, itchy, but comfortable.
A month later, Sarah's right thumb was swollen with pus and was in serious condition. She had to go to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor confirmed that it was an infection caused by a hot spring fish bite, and in order to save her life, her thumb had to be amputated.
After the surgery, the other four toes were also infected, and only one toe remained. It turns out that the fish spa is not using hot spring fish, but small, randomly caught fish that are semi-starved and bite people's toes.
Problems with water quality management remain.
In the same year, the American magazine "JAMA" reported that a woman had all ten toenails off after a fish treatment. According to the relevant authorities, a comprehensive investigation will be carried out into the fish spa shops that use illegal fish and bromine water and will be dealt with seriously.
The U.S. and Australian governments subsequently issued ordinances explicitly banning fish therapy business. After the problems behind the fish therapy were revealed, no one dared to take the risk again.
Fourth, it is recommended to choose a formal place.
Although there are certain safety risks associated with hot spring fish therapy, we cannot deny that it does have certain benefits. The root of the problem lies in the lack of supervision, which allows some unscrupulous businesses to take advantage of it.
First of all, consumers need to choose carefully. Don't choose a fish spa shop that is too short in time and too poor in the environment, be sure to choose a regular hot spring place. Take a look at its history and reputation in the industry.
Nowadays, the Internet is developed, and it is an effective way to check the reviews of other customers online. Secondly, in order to reduce the risk of infection, it is recommended to limit the length of time you spend in the hot springs to no more than 30 minutes at a time, and not to visit the same store frequently.
At the same time, regulators should step up inspections and raise the barriers to entry to ensure that every fish spa uses legal hot spring fish and treats the water. Conduct regular comprehensive inspections and severely punish profiteering merchants.
We call on the operators of fish therapy shops to pay attention to improving the quality of service, choose regular fish species and water sources, and not leave anything to chance.
Although the risks of fish therapy still exist, we believe that if we work together, we can restore their safety. If you want to get foot care, we recommend choosing a professional pedicure as they offer a more holistic and systematic treatment.
Let's work together to maintain the healthy development of the fish therapy industry and fully enjoy the pleasure of this health regimen.
Fifth, the tide of history is mighty
History is like a big wheel that never stops, silently rolling forward, with the sound of "click" accompanied its rhythm. We live under this wheel, witnessing, Xi and growing in this magnificent historical torrent.
In just a few hundred years, fish therapy has completed the process from obscurity to fame and veritable from the accidental chance of discovering hot spring fish therapy in Turkey, to the introduction of this health care method in various countries, and then to the exposure of light and shadow of fish therapy in recent years.
All these reflect the historical laws of the continuous progress of human social cognition and material civilization.
We should pay tribute to those who bravely explored, and at the same time wisely inherit and carry forward their achievements. For some dark sides, we should not kill the fish therapy industry with a stick, but should distinguish between right and wrong and affirm the value it contains.
We should not blindly follow the trend, but should look at the products of each era rationally and minimize the absurdity and harm it brings.
Human civilization has experienced countless ups and downs, but on the whole, it has been moving slowly. Each of us should ask ourselves: what have we done to move the wheels of history forward? Our generation's mission is to carry forward the traditional art of fish therapy while removing its shortcomings.
