Fish Pedicure
Fish Pedicure/Therapy is a procedure in which a person places his feet in a tank filled with fish and the fish do the job of cleaning the feet.
The fish eats away all your dead skin and bacteria to bring a clean fresh look to your feet. It is quite a relaxing and rejuvenating way to pep up your tired feet.
It all starts with pre cleaning of the feet to wash away any dirt and grime we accumulate. You then dip your feet into the tank of the Garra Rufa fish, the kind of fish that are used in fish therapy. They salivate an enzyme that contains dithranol which in turn stimulates the growth of new skin cells.
Once the feet are dipped into water the fishes start attacking the feet to eat the dead skin which results in tickling in turn increasing the secretion of endorphins. This chemical release from the brain provides a pleasant feeling.
