Does a Fish Spa hold any truth to its existence? Well, the truth is far more exciting and amazing. This is not a new concept that has been invented recently but a keen observation of feeding habit of a specific specimen of fishes that eventually led to discovery of treatment through Fish Spa.

Here we are referring to Garra Rufa fish and Kangal Fish. These fishes are originally found in north and centre of Middle East in countries like Iran, Iraq and turkey. They have a specific feeding habit of eating dead skin. The most important thing is that they feed only on dead (useless) skin and not healthy skin. So, they act as a temporary cure for patients suffering from skin diseases like psoriasis, eczema and even for beautification purpose of hand and feet nails that sometimes have dead skin growth around them.

An amazing survival fact of these fishes makes them a hit at spas. For skin rejuvenation these fishes are left in hot spring pools at spas and they survive feeding efficiently. At the very first experiment they were placed in water to clean feet of clients at a spa. This is because they can swim and live in hot water with approximately forty five degree temperature.

Are you afraid of the sensation created with fishes getting in contact with your skin? Welcome to this group that start fidgeting at the site of fishes in the spring tubs. To be honest few courageous people went for the experience out of curiosity and their contentment over good results convinced others to go ahead with the treatment. And as reported the experience is of tickling sensation and entirely painless.

People have benefited at Fish Spa as you can read their statements. Peter felt “good and rejuvenated with this splendid way of getting dead cells removed from the body”. Where as Brooke states “I feel like my psoriasis is almost gone with repeated fish spa treatment and it really feels very relaxing”.

Please make note that a Fish Spa does not come under the category of a Medical Spa perhaps the reason for this is treatment’s temporary nature. Apart from skin diseases it helps in beautifying the skin as well hence it has gained popularity in few Beauty Spas, Health Spa and Med Spas too.

If you have doubt about something, go ahead and clear them. If you still think it is a weird treatment, why not experience it yourself and then comment on its authenticity. Herbs and natural products are basic foundation of treatment at spas, and at Fish Spa they only aim to benefit you in natural way.
