Doctor Fish Therapy

It may feel itchy!

This is the latest buzz I’ve heard from far away Republic of Turkey.

Did you know that Turkish people have doctor fish? You’ve read it right Doctor Fish or Garra Ruffa! Even I could not believe it but there is a kind of fish in that country that heals wound due to psoriasis. They live in hot springs created by volcano vent, yup hot environment. The fishes actually eat the dead skin created from the flaking of psoriasis. It really sounds grouse but believe it after being eaten by Dr. Fishy wounds really heal. Whoa imagine how it feels when fishes feast on your skin continuity.

Scientist already made their conclusion regarding doctor fish. According to them this fishes have high calcium and protein content, a valuable minerals that helps in clotting skin lesions. The sulfur content of the spring water may also contribute to the healing process because sulfur is an antifungal mineral.
