With the acceleration of the pace of life, both men and women, are facing huge pressure of life, in this rhythm of national anxiety, I believe that everyone will find their own way to relax themselves, such as: travel around, gym fitness, etc., "fish therapy" This new type of relaxation method, began to be popular in various streets and alleys, and even the conference began to be popular, the name is a thousand autumns, what "Thai fish therapy", "hot spring fish therapy", "fish therapy health", "small fish soaking feet", etc., the name of what does not matter, The actual practice is similar, that is, let the customer put the foot into the container of the small fish, and let the small fish eat the dead skin on the foot.
Many merchants advertise that this can "remove keratin" and "promote metabolism", and some merchants even say that they can "treat athlete's foot" Is the effect of fish therapy SPA really the same as these merchants say? Really that magical? No hidden dangers? Let's first understand what fish therapy is.
<h1>What is Fish Therapy? </h1>
Fish therapy this service originated in Turkey in the 14th century, and the use of fish therapy of small fish is generally light red cuttlefish, is a kind of fish mainly distributed in the freshwater basin of Anatolia and the Middle East, pale red cuttlefish have no teeth, eating habits are very mixed, mainly including: algae, protozoa, rotifers, small crustaceans, etc., this small fish in the food shortage, will be some animal dander as food, this behavior is called "small fish kiss massage" by the business.
<h1>Can fish therapy really cure the disease? </h1>
Since the Turks discovered the benefits of fish therapy, they were slowly introduced by Japan, which pays attention to health, and then introduced to South Korea, and now it has begun to become popular in major cities in China.
Some people try to use fish therapy to treat psoriasis, but there is no medical significance of the results, but many businesses have found this business opportunity, publicizing that fish therapy can not only eat the dead skin of the body, promote metabolism, but also health care.
Behind the rise of fish therapy, some cases caused by fish therapy also occur frequently, such as: some hot spring salons in the United States have played a sign of fish therapy to attract customers, but sometimes there are customer wound infections, the US government announced that the use of fish therapy is prohibited in the United States, the reason is that fish therapy is not hygienic, if people with wounds on the feet do fish therapy, the fish mouth may be stained with bacteria, and then when they bite others, cross-infection will be formed, this new situation is not only in the United States, but also in many countries
In fact, whether fish therapy is a cure or a disease, this is not the business can say clearly, in the United States academic journals have published such a report, a lady in New York did a fish treatment, nails appeared abnormal, after going to the hospital for examination, was judged by the doctor to suffer from nail removal, nail removal disease has no special pathological conditions, no pain and no itch, after the discovery of about 4 months will slowly recover, but the onset of the nails become a little scary, just the onset of the nails become a little scary, This disease generally causes the nails to slowly separate from the nail bed from the base of the nail until eventually the entire nail is completely detached. At present, the pathogenesis of this disease is not clear, and many scholars believe that it is related to viral infection.
When there is a wound on the skin, after being bitten by a fish, the mouth of the fish will be contaminated with infectious bacteria, and when it bites others, it will cause cross-infection, which is a disease transmitted through fish and water called "pool granuloma".
Fish therapy is undoubtedly not for the source of infection and susceptible to infection of the population to create contact space, increase the probability of cross-touching, especially increase the incidence of skin disease infections, now many people are unaware of the tiny wounds on their bodies, which is undoubtedly not a hidden danger for health, according to the current health status of the fish therapy industry, it is not optimistic, as a consumer of fish therapy as a relaxation project, do not know whether they are suitable for fish therapy, so for this new type of relaxation of fish therapy, It is best to try less, at least it is recommended that those who find that there is skin damage or skin disease, it is best not to go to fish therapy.
