Ichthyotherapy is the practise of using fish for spa and theraputic massage. Being at the mall today we thought we'd try it out. 120,000rupiah each for 30 mins, pics to follow later.
The fish nibble the dead skin and also release an enzyme which promotes healthy cells to grow. The sensation is ticklish but relaxing. The fish act like pumice stone rubbing off the dead epidermal layer of the skin leaving behind baby smooth
Skin. The feeling of the fish biting is quite relaxing and acts like micro-acupunture.
The fish are of a type called Garra ruffa, apparently a type of carp from Turkey and Iran
