The video explores an unconventional psoriasis treatment involving fish therapy at a clinic in Kangal, Turkey. Manuel, a patient from Portugal, seeks relief from his chronic skin condition by immersing himself in a pool with doctor fish that feed on affected skin patches.

Patient testimonials highlight the therapy's effectiveness in alleviating pain and improving quality of life.
