Fish for your mind and now for your feet!!

I heard about fish eating the hard skin of your feet last summer, and it sounded great. I meant to try it since as I know there were some in Camden Town but never managed too. Yesterday at Wood Green shopping centre I had the opportunity to try it. At the beginning was very ticklish but as after few minutes it was so relaxing and it felt like little current massaging your feet. There was a woman next to me that was very regular to her feet being nibbled by the little fish. She went few times in Camden Town and she had already two treatments that week alone. She said that her feet were great during the summer. We trying to convince some of the onlookers that it felt great and I think quite few people were thinking piranha biting your feet. They do not bite but nibble your skin. Also many were thinking who putting your feet in there where everyone else put their feet! Well if you go bare feet on the beach or walk bare feet in the swimming pools than you should not worry about the fish tank as that is much cleaner than the sand and the swimming pool floors!! The water in the tank is warm and you feel like you want to be there all day really. It seems that some hospital in London might be using these fish for medical reasons. You need to be referred by your doctor, but hey how great would be to be referred by your doctor to have your feet or body nipped. The name of the fish is Garra Rufa and they live and breed in the outdoors of some Turkish spas. They are used there and other parts for psoriasis condition, where you bath in a pool. That must be quite a fantastic experience!! It helps the skin condition for a while, but as psoriasis is a lot to do with internal mechanism errors and external endogenous factors you need a continuous trip to the Spa (hey could be worse!). The Garra rufa fish also lives in the Northern and Central Middle East, Syria, Iraq and Iran. It is protected legally from commercial exploitation in Turkey. Well that is great!! You can take or eat oily fish for your mind and now you can get them to heal your feet!! Worth to try for 5 to 10 pounds for 15 minutes….
