Fish Foot Therapy
The major focus of fish foot therapy is skin exfoliation. The concept is that you soak your feet in a warm pool teemed with tiny hungry ‘doctor fishes’. Doctor fishes are scientifically known as Garra rufa and are natives of Turkish towns, Sivas and Kangal. The warm temperature of the water ensures that nutrients do not survive. This means the ravenous doctor fishes eats away dead and scaly skins softened by the warm water, revealing soft, pink, smooth and healthy skin underneath.

Fish Therapy for Eczema
Doctor fishes have long been associated with healing of psoriasis. It is suggested that when the doctor fishes nibbles on dry skin through their gummy mouth, the nibbling action triggers release of an enzyme known as Dithranol. This can help in treating the skin condition called eczema.

Besides eczema, fish therapy can help in treating other itchy skin conditions such as psoriasis, dermatitis, etc. So, if you want to be treated by the doctor fishes, be prepared to soak yourself in a warm pool for 8 hours a day up to 21 days before taking breakfast. During the twenty one day period, you may have to drink at least three glasses of water on an empty stomach. You may be abstained from taking medications during the entire tenure of treatment.
