I’ve just read this over at Livescience.com and I found it to be quite interesting. The Garra Rufa fish also known as Doctor Fish or Nibble Fish is fast becoming a staple in foot spas worldwide especially in Turkey and in some Asian countries. I’ve yet to see one here in the Philippines though. I’m sure there’s a spa here that offers the service.
According to stories I’ve seen on the net here, here and here, the fish does a pretty good job in eating away the dead skin cells found on the feet. Some even have the fish nibble on their entire body.
The fish are toothless so they can only eat away the dead skin cells and can’t harm the living ones. In any situation, the fish leaves behind skin that looks much younger than before. I’d really love to have one of these cool spa treatments - and maybe start a business of my own too.

Wow that would add a twist to your usual foot spa session. I’ve heard of this too, and people say it feels either tickling, or mild nibbling, or even like sleeping feet that starts to wake up (I’m not sure if I said that right).

Doctor Fish is already available in Manila Ocean Park and Star City. Just visit these areas.
