The
springs
were
firstly
noticed
by
people
from
neighbouring
villages
in
the
early
1800s.
The
springs
were
a
kind
of
reed-bed
until
1917.
By
change
a
shepherd
who
was
wounded
on
his
foot
sees
his
wound
healed
by
the
water
of
the
spring.
this
fact
gets
the
attention
of
the
public
and
primitive
pools
were
built.
Later
on,
around
1950's
very
simple
buildings
were
constructed.
In
1960's
very
springs
were
taken
over
by
the
local
administration
of
Sivas
and
several
lodging
facilities
were
built.
Kangal
Fish
Springs
is
of a
particular
place
amongst
the
other
thermal
baths
found
with
in
our
country.
This
thermal,
unique
in
the
world
is
famous
for
curing
the
disease
world
psoriasis.
The
miraculous
way
of
treatment
by
the
fish
which
are
in
the
thermal
waters
36-37°C
increases
its
fame,
since
this
thermal
is
the
last
sort
of
hope
for
skin
diseases
which
up-to-date
science
of
medicine
can
not
cure
today.
Skin
diseases
such
as
acne,
eczema
and
psoriases
are
cured
by
Cyprinion
macrostomus
(fish)
2-10
cm
in
length
and
by
Garra
rufa.
Those
having
treatment
in
the
thermal
baths
for
the
first
time
will
be
surprised
 when
they
notice
that
the
brown
,
grey
and
beige
coluured
fish
surround
them
and
begin
to
clear
up
the
spots
on
the
skin.
For
patients
to
be
fully
accustomed
in
takes
2-3
days.
The
fish
actually
nibble
on
the
area
of
skin
affected
and
might
cause
little
pain
at
first,
but
then
this
feeling
subsides.
For
the
best
results
it
is
recommended
that
patients
spend
a
total
of 8
hours
a
day
in
these
pools.
It
is
also
necessary
to
drink
plenty
of
thermal
spring
water
on
an
empty
stomach
(daily
1,5
lt).
This
type
of
treatment
has
no
side
effects
and
medication
should
not
be
taken
during
treatment.
The
water
has
been
reported
as
being
beneficial
in
rheumatic
disease,
neurological
disorders
(neuralgia,
neuritis,
paralysis),
orthopedics
and
traumatological
 sequelae
(fractures,
joint
trauma,
and
muscle
disease),
gynecological
problems
(by
lavage),
skin
diseases,
urolithiasis
(by
drinking),
and
psychosomatic
disorders

The
initial
pleasant
sensation
and
relaxation
of “micro-massage”
is
replaced
by a
tingling
sensation
over
the
skin.
This
massage
is
given
particularly
by
the
younger
fish,
which
need
many
more
nutrients
for
their
rapid
growth.
The
role
the
doctor
fish
can
play
in
therapeutic
medicine
deserves
proper
study.
