We wanted to make it much more enjoyable and fun loving for people. We thought that when they come here. They should enjoy and have a good experience. We wanted to give them a lively experience and through fish pedicure we have been able to give them that," said Rahim, Director, Naturals Salon and Spa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The idea behind the fish spa was to find a replacement for scrubbers used for pedicures and manicures. A fish called 'Garra Rufa' or 'Doctor Fish' is used for these beauty treatments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These fish nibble away at the dead skin on the hands and feet as the hot water in which they thrive doesn't support much plant or aquatic life, so they learned to feed on whatever food sources were available, including dead, flaking skin and this is what gave the idea to start this unique beauty treatment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They leave live skin alone because, without teeth, they can't bite it off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fish pedicure and manicure has already created quite a stir in the city with hordes of people coming in to try them out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the first timers, the experience might have been a little scary, but they come out all full of praise after letting the 'Garra Rufa' nibble away at their feet and hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Initially, it's a bit scary. It's a very nice feeling. Before I used to keep coming for the normal pedicure and manicure, now I keep coming for this because it's different. It's like entertainment when you see those fishes doing it," said Ankeera, a customer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The fish don't do the job alone. After 15 to 30 minutes in the tank, customers get a standard pedicure, made easier by the soft skin the doctor fish leave behind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fish therapy or fish pedicure originated in Turkey where these fish were first used to provide temporary relief to patients affected with psoriasis.

There is a type of "live" fish called doctor fish that you can use for psoriasis treatment. For this treatment, you allow the fish to feed on the affected part of your skin. The more dead skin your have, the more these tiny fishes will come to you. Doctor fish is also known scientifically as Garra rufa.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The practice of using doctor fish to treat itchy skin was first used in the small towns of Kangal and Sivas in Turkey, where the fish are endemic. The spa in Kangal has been a psoriasis treatment centre since 1988. With no apparent cure for this disabling skin disorder, people from all parts of the world flock here for psoriasis treatment. Here, they get their first experience with the doctor fish nibbling away at their skin. Although psoriasis is the most widely known skin disorder treated here, dermatitis, eczema and most other itchy skin conditions also benefit well from the treatment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The doctor fish have large appetites, as the high 36°C water temperature cannot produce enough nutrients for them. So they would get into a feeding frenzy when they come across scabby skin. The older and thicker your affected skin is, the more delicious it is to them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, not to worry. The fish apparently only loves dead skin. They will leave your healthy skin alone. The result? Those who experience having doctor fish to treat itchy skin emerge from the water with healthy, glowing, fully buffed skin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you would like to give it a go, then this is what you need to do at the spa: immerse yourself in the pool eight hours a day for 21 days. Before having breakfast each day, you are supposed to drink a minimum of three glasses of healing water on an empty stomach. You are also not allowed to take other medicine or medication during the period.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is said that their mouths are made for licking and nibbling away the psoriatic plaques and scaly skin. The saliva in the mouths of doctor fish is the vital element in the treatment; others also credit the selenium-rich waters (1 gram per liter concentration) of the spa plus the high altitude Turkish sunshine (ultraviolet is beneficial for psoriasis treatment). The effects are temporary; psoriasis treatment using doctor fish to help is by no means a cure. However, the results of having doctor fish to treat itchy skin can last for a few months.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some of those who have experienced this unconventional psoriasis treatment  have gone on to&lt;br /&gt;set up their own doctor fish spas in other countries. You can now find spas with doctor fish to&lt;br /&gt;treat itchy skin in Germany, Ireland, and Austria. There are doctor fish spas in Asia such as&lt;br /&gt;Japan. One other benefit when you go to these spas for psoriasis treatment is the chance to&lt;br /&gt;interact and bond with other psoriasis sufferers.  Having psoriasis can be a depressing affair&lt;br /&gt;but it sure helps to know that you are not alone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="sig" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Evelyn Lim publishes a newsletter on &lt;a id="link_79" target="_new" href="http://www.eczematreatmentsecrets.com/"&gt;Eczema Natural Treatment&lt;/a&gt;.

"Nothing that can compare to the results after the treatment." &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="inline inline-photo inline-left"&gt;Naima Ouzidane (above, left) and her daughter-in-law Jessica Ouzidane step into a pool of toothless garra rufa fish from Turkey for the first time at Yvonne's Hair &amp;amp; Nails day spa south of Alexandria.          &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- /inline-photo --&gt;  &lt;p&gt; Turkish villagers first discovered the benefits of these friendly fish in the 1800s while dipping themselves into hot springs. The garra rufa fish have been famous in Turkey ever since for effectively treating psoriasis, eczema and even burns. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;However, at Yvonne's, the little nibblers are used to exfoliate and massage one's feet - a relaxing treatment that is fast becoming a favorite at the spa. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;"Here, we reinvented the idea into a spa pedicure so that after one uses it, they have extremely smooth skin," Mr. Ho says. "We are the only fish spa in the United States that provides this service. Nobody can copy this treatment without my approval, because I have a service mark called Dr. Fish Massage Inc." &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Mr. Ho specially orders the fish through his broker in China. They are then shipped from Turkey. Once the fish arrive, they can live up to five years in the man-made hot springs Mr. Ho concocts especially for them. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;"The water chemistry has to be right," he explains. "They originally live in hot springs, which is spring water. Therefore, I have to add a lot of chemicals to get rid of all the hard metals." &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Mr. Ho insists that each pool is thoroughly cleaned after each use. The little creatures are taken out with a hand-held net. Next, the water is drained, and finally, the porcelain tub is disinfected with sanitizing chemicals. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;"We have never had as many customers as we have now," Mr. Ho says. "Also, we have more men than we have ever had before - including military men as well." (Laugh at the image if you want, but can you think of any feet that deserve it more?) &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Oh, and did I mention that there is complimentary food every Friday from 5 to 8 p.m.? It was fresh strawberries with homemade spring rolls the day I visited. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; "Last week, it was beef with a homemade teriyaki sauce," Mr. Ho says with delight. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/806151022707126400-3542626495776883957?l=exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com/feeds/3542626495776883957/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=806151022707126400&amp;postID=3542626495776883957' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/806151022707126400/posts/default/3542626495776883957'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/806151022707126400/posts/default/3542626495776883957'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com/2008/08/kiss-my-feet.html' title='Kiss my feet'/><author><name>Aznida MS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13620288089603716792</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_niNhTpY-mmM/SmrA8iID2ZI/AAAAAAAAAJg/nTnRV7IZvq4/S220/myself.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_niNhTpY-mmM/SKGQC0tGNaI/AAAAAAAAAH0/kxAfUjdP8fc/s72-c/garra+rufa5.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806151022707126400.post-4879944322771281872</id><published>2008-08-08T06:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-08T06:32:32.735-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Spa Fish news'/><title type='text'>Flesh-eating fish give pedicures</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_niNhTpY-mmM/SJxK2eviyNI/AAAAAAAAAHk/ZWqpOM6WbL4/s1600-h/garra+rufa4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_niNhTpY-mmM/SJxK2eviyNI/AAAAAAAAAHk/ZWqpOM6WbL4/s320/garra+rufa4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232139166923540690" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;By Catherine Elsworth in Los Angeles &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       Last Updated: 11:46AM BST 22 Jul 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="imageExtras" style="width: 460px; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;      &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span class="caption"&gt;The toothless fish nibble away at dead skin while leaving healthy flesh untouched&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;span class="credit"&gt;Photo: AP&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;        &lt;p&gt; Owners of Yvonne Hair and Nails in Alexandria, a suburb of Washington DC,    estimate 5,000 customers have so far tried the unorthodox treatment, in    which customers immerse their feet in warm water filled with tiny, voracious    carp.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The toothless fish, termed garra rufa but known as “doctor fish”, nibble away    at dead skin while leaving healthy flesh untouched, providing what advocates    say is a natural alternative to potentially unsanitary razors, clippers or    pumice stones.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; John Ho, who owns the salon with wife Yvonne, said he was initially sceptical    about offering the technique, which is popular in spas in Turkey, where the    fish come from, as well as parts of Japan, China, Singapore and Malaysia.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; ”I know people were a little intimidated at first,” he told the Associated    Press. “But I just said, 'Let's give it a shot.' “  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; But customers flocked to try the treatment and as word spread the salon's Dr    Fish Massage was featured on local radio and Tyra Banks' television talk    show.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Tracy Roberts, 33, described it as “the best pedicure I ever had” and said it    marked “the first time somebody got rid of my calluses completely.” &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; After the fish have spent up to 30 minutes chewing away hard skin - there are    about 100 to every tank - customers receive a standard pedicure.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; A similar treatment was featured in an episode of Ugly Betty last year when    Wilhelmina Slater, played by Vanessa Williams, had a pedicure that included    soaking her feet in water full of fish.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Mr Ho, who spent 40,000 dollars setting up the pedicures, is hoping to extend    the service to eventually offer full-body treatments that could treat skin    conditions such as psoriasis.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; For some ticklish customers, however, the sensation can almost prove too much.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; ”It didn't go as smoothly as planned,” writes Yvonne customer Maeghan Leigh,    describing on her blog how she clutched pillows to stifle her “hysterical    laughing”.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; ”Seriously, those little guys on your toes is the most outrageous ridiculous    feeling in the world, meaning lots of “eeeeeeeeeeeeeee” squeals,” she    writes. “In the end though, I would definitely go back for more because my    tootsies are smoother than a baby's bottom.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/806151022707126400-4879944322771281872?l=exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com/feeds/4879944322771281872/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=806151022707126400&amp;postID=4879944322771281872' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/806151022707126400/posts/default/4879944322771281872'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/806151022707126400/posts/default/4879944322771281872'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com/2008/08/flesh-eating-fish-give-pedicures.html' title='Flesh-eating fish give pedicures'/><author><name>Aznida MS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13620288089603716792</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_niNhTpY-mmM/SmrA8iID2ZI/AAAAAAAAAJg/nTnRV7IZvq4/S220/myself.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_niNhTpY-mmM/SJxK2eviyNI/AAAAAAAAAHk/ZWqpOM6WbL4/s72-c/garra+rufa4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806151022707126400.post-6022613525549279322</id><published>2008-08-08T06:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-08T06:29:24.864-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Spa Fish news'/><title type='text'>Fish nibble away at scaly skin</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3 style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;By Matthew Barakat  - ASSOCIATED PRESS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Updated: 08/08/08  6:48 AM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Ready for the latest in spa pampering? Prepare to dunk your tootsies in a tank of water and let tiny carp nibble away. &lt;p&gt;Fish pedicures are creating something of a splash in the D. C. area, where a northern Virginia spa has been offering them for the past four months. John Ho, who runs the Yvonne Hair and Nails salon with his wife, Yvonne Le, said 5,000 people have taken the plunge so far. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“This is a good treatment for everyone who likes to have nice feet,” Ho said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He said he wanted to come up with something unique while finding a replacement for pedicures that use razors to scrape off dead skin. The razors have fallen out of favor with state regulators because of concerns about whether they’re sanitary. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ho was skeptical at first about the fish, which are called garra rufa but are typically known as doctor fish. They were first used in Turkey and have become popular in some Asian countries. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But Ho doubted they would thrive in the warm water needed for a comfortable footbath. And he didn’t know if customers would like the idea. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I know people were a little intimidated at first,” Ho said. “But I just said, ‘Let’s give it a shot.’ ” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Customers were quickly hooked. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tracy Roberts, 33, of Rockville, Md., heard about it on a local radio show. She said it was “the best pedicure I ever had” and has spread the word to friends and co-workers. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I’d been an athlete all my life, so I’ve always had calluses on my feet. This was the first time somebody got rid of my calluses completely,” she said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First time customer KaNin Reese, 32, of Washington, described the tingling sensation created by the toothless fish: “It kind of feels like your foot’s asleep,” she said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The fish don’t do the job alone. After 15 to 30 minutes in the tank, customers get a standard pedicure, made easier by the soft skin the doctor fish leave behind. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ho believes his is the only salon in the country to offer the treatment, which costs $35 for 15 minutes and $50 for 30 minutes. The spa has more than 1,000 fish, with about 100 in each individual pedicure tank at any given time. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dennis Arnold, a podiatrist who four years ago established the International Pedicure Association, said he had never heard of the treatment and doubts it will become widespread. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I think most people would be afraid of it,” he said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Customer Patsy Fisher, 42, of Crofton, Md., admitted she was nervous as she prepared for her first fish pedicure. But her apprehension dissolved into laughter after she put her feet in the tank and the fish swarmed to her toes. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“It’s a little ticklish, actually,” she said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ho said the hot water in which the fish thrive doesn’t support much plant or aquatic life, so they learned to feed on whatever food sources were available — including dead, flaking skin. They leave live skin alone because, without teeth, they can’t bite it off. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to offering pedicures, Ho hopes to establish a network of Doctor Fish Massage franchises and is evaluating a full-body fish treatment that, among other things, could treat psoriasis and other skin ailments. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ho spent a year and about $40,000 getting the pedicures up and running, with a few hiccups along the way. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;State regulations make no provision for regulating fish pedicures. But the county health department — which does regulate pools — required the salon to switch from a shallow, tiled communal pool that served as many as eight people to individual tanks in which the water is changed for each customer. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The communal pool also presented its own problem: At times, the fish would flock to the feet of an individual with a surplus of dead skin, leaving others with a dearth of fish. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“It would sometimes be embarrassing for them, but it was also really hilarious,” Ho said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/806151022707126400-6022613525549279322?l=exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com/feeds/6022613525549279322/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=806151022707126400&amp;postID=6022613525549279322' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/806151022707126400/posts/default/6022613525549279322'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/806151022707126400/posts/default/6022613525549279322'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com/2008/08/fish-nibble-away-at-scaly-skin.html' title='Fish nibble away at scaly skin'/><author><name>Aznida MS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13620288089603716792</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_niNhTpY-mmM/SmrA8iID2ZI/AAAAAAAAAJg/nTnRV7IZvq4/S220/myself.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806151022707126400.post-2259457823435886338</id><published>2008-08-05T20:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-05T20:35:26.147-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Spa Fish news'/><title type='text'>Flesh-Eating Fish Perform 'Pedicures'</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;by Daniele Anastasion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="program"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=17"&gt;Day to Day&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="date"&gt;August 4, 2008 · &lt;/span&gt; What would it take to get you to stick your feet in a tank of fish that feed on human flesh? It's an experience some are willing to pay for. In Alexandria, Va., Yvonne Salon is treating customers to a beauty fad that's new to the U.S.: the fish pedicure. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More than 6,000 customers have tried the $45 treatment since the salon began offering it five months ago, according to owner John Ho. The salon says it's the first in the United States to offer the service.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We have tripled our volume," he says. "At the beginning … I was begging people to go in. But you know, it just went haywire."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On a recent Sunday afternoon, the Vietnamese-owned salon is packed. In the back, thousands of silvery carp flit around in a holding pool. At some point, they'll all be transferred into smaller tanks to suck dead skin off customers' feet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_niNhTpY-mmM/SJkagM1OAqI/AAAAAAAAAHM/pzo5BYBr2jA/s1600-h/garra+rufa1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_niNhTpY-mmM/SJkagM1OAqI/AAAAAAAAAHM/pzo5BYBr2jA/s320/garra+rufa1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231241582670119586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Garra rufa&lt;/em&gt; perform a more effective foot scrub than human pedicurists, some patrons insist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'It Kisses Your Skin'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One such customer, Barbara Campbell, steps into a tank of around 200 fish.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Which ones are the hungriest? That's what I want to know," she boldly asks a technician.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Known as &lt;em&gt;Garra rufa,&lt;/em&gt; the silvery inch-long fish originate from hot springs in Turkey. It's there that they developed an appetite for the only food around — human flesh. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Calm down; &lt;em&gt;Garra rufa,&lt;/em&gt; which look like a cross between goldfish and minnows, can't technically bite because they don't have any teeth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It kisses your skin," explains Leah Le, who works at the Yvonne salon. "But more it just sucks off your dry skin."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kelly Jackson, 27, is a fish-pedi convert. She says the experience is better than having a human scrub her feet. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It's all organic," she says, "[I] absolutely loved it....

"I come out and my skin [was] so beautiful and smooth."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Forty thousand dollars and 10,000 fish later, Yvonne and her husband, John, brought doctor fish to the United States. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The expensive fish are a gamble for these entrepreneurs, because they're difficult to maintain. Ho says he wakes up in the middle of the night just to check on them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_niNhTpY-mmM/SJka5asWhXI/AAAAAAAAAHU/cfcDXHEmI8E/s1600-h/garra+rufa2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_niNhTpY-mmM/SJka5asWhXI/AAAAAAAAAHU/cfcDXHEmI8E/s320/garra+rufa2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231242015887754610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Comic Alan Yang pokes fun at fish pedicures. "I don't think these are the right kind of fish for pedicures."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;K&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;eeping Fish Warm, Customers Happy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"There's a lot of risk in taking care of the fish," Ho says. "You've got to give them warm water. If the water [drops] below 70 degrees, they'll die."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The fish stay well fed on a steady supply of human skin. Over the past few months, technician Le has watched them double in size. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"When we first had them, they were tiny. You could feel, like, this little nibbling, and now you can feel the sucking and it's more powerful."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That might sound unpleasant to the uninitiated, but the salon is filled with giggling customers. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"When you go in, you just gotta laugh," Ho says. "I have people who laugh 'til their tears come out. I don't think money can pay for that, you know what I mean."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/806151022707126400-2259457823435886338?l=exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com/feeds/2259457823435886338/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=806151022707126400&amp;postID=2259457823435886338' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/806151022707126400/posts/default/2259457823435886338'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/806151022707126400/posts/default/2259457823435886338'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com/2008/08/flesh-eating-fish-perform-pedicures.html' title='Flesh-Eating Fish Perform &apos;Pedicures&apos;'/><author><name>Aznida MS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13620288089603716792</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_niNhTpY-mmM/SmrA8iID2ZI/AAAAAAAAAJg/nTnRV7IZvq4/S220/myself.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_niNhTpY-mmM/SJkagM1OAqI/AAAAAAAAAHM/pzo5BYBr2jA/s72-c/garra+rufa1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806151022707126400.post-5938223916740298778</id><published>2008-07-24T02:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-24T03:00:07.972-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Spa Fish video'/><title type='text'>Spa Fish | Garra Rufa In Singapore</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Wohrg4Y4OqM&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Wohrg4Y4OqM&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/806151022707126400-5938223916740298778?l=exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com/feeds/5938223916740298778/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=806151022707126400&amp;postID=5938223916740298778' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/806151022707126400/posts/default/5938223916740298778'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/806151022707126400/posts/default/5938223916740298778'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com/2008/07/spa-fish-garra-rufa-in-singapore.html' title='Spa Fish | Garra Rufa In Singapore'/><author><name>Aznida MS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13620288089603716792</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_niNhTpY-mmM/SmrA8iID2ZI/AAAAAAAAAJg/nTnRV7IZvq4/S220/myself.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806151022707126400.post-5491884797213550298</id><published>2008-07-23T02:02:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-23T02:45:39.736-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fish Spas'/><title type='text'>Fish Spas and Treatments</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-family: arial;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Some ideas take a little getting used to. Even so, countless spa goers need no persuasion when it comes to being nibbled by small fish at designer spas and spa resorts in countries such as China, Japan, South Korea and Turkey. This growing trend is spreading swiftly throughout the world and has left some people feeling both perplexed and others feeling both beautiful and relaxed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how do fish treatments work and how do they aid in enhancing both wellness and beauty? Spas store small tropical fish called Garra Rufa, also known as doctor fish, nibble fish, Chinchin Yu, Kangal Fish and Turkey Fish, in warm pools of water or hot springs. These fish thrive in hot water from 15 degrees to 43 degree water and are used for various reasons such as for foot, facial and body treatments as well as for the natural treatment of skin disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fish, as many spa goers say "kiss the skin", ridding it of all affected and dead skin areas, leaving the healthy skin untouched to continue to grow and repair. The process is both painless and strangely wonderful, leaving behind a unique pleasant tingling sensation. Skin is left smooth, glowing and looking healthier. Although, also used for individuals suffering from Psoriasis, fish treatments are not a cure for the disease but a temporary treatment cure which can aid in preventing symptoms if repeated on a monthly basis. Nonetheless, there have been some individuals who claim to have been completely cured of Psoriasis after undergoing fish treatments. The fish treatments are also recognized as treatments utilized to release fatigue, increase blood circulation and aid in relaxation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why not immerse yourself into a hot spring or fish pool, or enjoy a foot, facial or body fish treatment before a massage, and experience a treatment like no other. This strangely unique and wonderful feeling cannot be described in words and will make you return every few months to take advantage of the fish treatments principal purpose and function, to protect and beautify your skin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Find health spas and more articles on Health and Wellness at: &lt;a href="http://healthspaguru.com"&gt;http://healthspaguru.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article Source: &lt;a href="http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Colette_Halberstadt"&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Colette_Halberstadt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/806151022707126400-5491884797213550298?l=exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com/feeds/5491884797213550298/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=806151022707126400&amp;postID=5491884797213550298' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/806151022707126400/posts/default/5491884797213550298'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/806151022707126400/posts/default/5491884797213550298'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://exotic-spa-treatment.blogspot.com/2008/07/my-link-site.html' title='Fish Spas and Treatments'/><author><name>Aznida MS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13620288089603716792</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_niNhTpY-mmM/SmrA8iID2ZI/AAAAAAAAAJg/nTnRV7IZvq4/S220/myself.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806151022707126400.post-4689592211777866323</id><published>2008-06-28T21:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-28T21:02:05.889-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kissing fish'/><title type='text'>Kissing Fish Therapy - Spa With the Strikers &amp; Lickers</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="copyright"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;By &lt;a id="link_48" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Joey_Lee"&gt;Joey Lee&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div id="body"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Imagine yourself floating in a wonderfully warm spa of 35 degrees at a hot spring resort.

The magic?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Kissing Fish of course! There are endearing terms for these kissing fish the Strikers (cyprinion macrostomus) and Lickers (garra rufa). And this amazing alternative healing process begins when these strikers and lickers starts feeding on the flaking skin which are actually a buildup of dead skin cells which appears on any skin surface, though the knees, elbows, scalp, and trunk are the most common locations. The feeling is something between hundreds of tweezers and tiny suction cups gently pecking at your skin. Couple this with the warm circulation of the hot spring spa, and you get rejuvenated glowing skin!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is said that repeated course of treatment over a 21 day period for more serious cases of skin disorders such as Psoriasis and Dermatitis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Traditionally, such treatments are sought after by patients with skin disorders like Psoriasis which is a persistent and chronic skin disease which has a tendency to be genetically inherited. Red rashes appear on the surface of the skin and begin to itch. These areas form plaques over the reddened lesions. It is characterized by raised, inflamed (red) lesions covered with a silvery white scale. The scale is actually a buildup of dead skin cells. The technical name for plaque psoriasis is psoriasis vulgaris (vulgaris means common). Plaque psoriasis may appear on any skin surface, though the knees, elbows, scalp, and trunk are the most common locations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The next wave of alternative healing for skin disorders seemed to have started on a big bang.
