Treatment

What exactly is a Doctor Fish massage? It’s a technique that originated in Asia, where people are a lot cleverer about health and massage than they are over here. The Doctor Fish (or “garra rufa” fish, Obtusa cyprinidae, for the scientifically minded) is native to Asian hot springs, where it seems to have developed a rather unique relationship with the people who flock there to let the warm, mineral rich water suck all the tiredness out of their bodies.

The fish feed on the dead skin, bacteria and impurities clinging to the human frame, literally eating all the bad stuff off of you. You’re left with a whole new skin – smooth, baby-soft, supple and young: and utterly free of skin smears, bad oils, unseen bacterial nastiness or everyday pollutants.

Don’t worry – the Doctor Fish has no teeth and is much smaller than your little finger. In other words, it couldn’t do you any harm if it wanted to. All this little masseur wants to do is nibble you – arguably the most pleasant, certainly the most unique, sensation in the health and beauty world.

The fish has a surprisingly powerful suck on it, for such a little feller: not powerful enough to leave any marks, or hurt in any way, but definitely strong enough to stimulate good circulation, efficient nerve firing and proper oil production. The Asians who “pioneered” Doctor Fish massage recognised the similarities between the nip of the fish and the expert prodding and poking performed by an acupuncturist or reflexologist: the rest, as they say, is history. Welcome to the most unusual health and beauty technique in the history of alternative medicine. You’ll love it.
