Everyone who bathes in healing water for since 4 centuries is healed

Located in the Isa Divanlı District of Dulkadiroğlu district, the Uyuz Spring Bath is believed to be good for leprosy and skin diseases, especially scabies, with its 4 centuries-old history.

According to the first view, it was built by Selim II in Hijri 978 / Gregorian 1570. It is recorded that it was used by the Romans, Byzantines, Muslim Arabs, Seljuks, Dulkadirs and Ottomans.

It is known that the historical building attracted attention as the place where leprosy patients were treated during the Dulkadiroğlu Principality period. It is stated that especially starting from the Roman period, skin patients, especially leprosy patients in Kahramanmaraş and the region, came to the region and got rid of their discomfort by bathing in healing water.
The historical building, which continued to provide water to the citizens after it was renovated in 2006, has been resurrected so that the patients can take a bath, and today it attracts the attention of the citizens who seek healing.

Erol Gökduman, 67, a resident of the neighborhood, who gave information about the bath, said, “The Scab Spring is our water that dates back to the time of the Assyrians. It is known that in the time of the Assyrians, leprosy patients were healed. Currently, it also heals patients from the surrounding provinces. In fact, a doctor came here and solved the dry itching problem that he couldn't find a cure for.

Expressing that it is necessary to come to the Scabies Spring especially for the elimination of skin diseases, Gökduman said, “Everyone who comes for the purpose of healing finds healing. There are a lot of people coming here from outside. It would be more valuable if this water was in the hands of someone else. I've been bathing here since I was a kid and I even take a bath every 2 days in the summer. I don't know what itching is. Let's know the value of this healing water," he said.
