Fish in ethnozoology, belief and health tourism

Abstract

Abstract: Like many other creatures, fish have been used as an art, belief, and ethnozoological element in different cultures. In Turkish culture, fish lags behind both other cultures and some other creatures. There are beliefs that some lakes and fish are sacred in Anatolia. In traditional treatment, it has been observed that fish oil are used in the treatment of muscle and rheumatic pain, waist-neck hernia, calcification and asthma, and for kidney stones and gallbladder problems fish otolith is used. In some parts of Turkey, it has been determined that fish are also used in the treatment of some health problems such as infertility, hemorrhoids, jaundice, entanglement, urinary incontinence, and burn treatment. It is believed that the consumption of fish as a nutrient is important for a healthy life as well as it is beneficial for the healing of fractures. It is also known that swallowing live juvenile trout is used in the treatment of stomach pains. It is believed that the therapy performed in pools with Garra rufa and Cyprinion macrostomum species in Balıklı SPA, which has a special place in the context of health tourism, is effective in the treatment of psoriasis.

: Pek çok canlı gibi balıklar da farklı kültürlerde sanat, inanç ve etnozoolojik bir öge olarak kullanılmıştır. Türk kültüründe balık hem diğer bazı kültürlere hem de diğer bazı canlılara göre daha geri planda kalmaktadır. Anadolu’da bazı göller ve balıkların kutsal olduğuna dair inançlar bulunmaktadır. Geleneksel tedavide ise kas ve romatizmal ağrıları, bel-boyun fıtığı, kireçlenme ve astım tedavisinde balık yağı böbrek taşı ve safra kesesi sorunlarında ise otolitlerin kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Ülkemizin bazı bölgelerinde balıkların, kısırlık, basur, sarılık, dolama, idrar kaçırma ve yanık tedavisi gibi bazı sağlık problemlerinin tedavisinde de kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Besin olarak balık tüketiminin sağlıklı bir yaşam için önemli olmasının yanı sıra kırıkların iyileşmesinde faydası olduğuna inanılmaktadır. Ayrıca canlı yavru alabalık yutmanın mide ağrılarının tedavisinde kullanıldığı bilinmektedir. Kaplıca turizmi bağlamında özel bir yeri olan Balıklı Kaplıcada Garra rufa ve Cyprinion macrostomum türlerinin bulunduğu havuzlarda yapılan terapinin sedef hastalığı tedavisinde etkili olduğuna inanılmaktadır.
