Garra Rufa Fish Therapy

Have you ever heard or read about it? Well, Naz and I read it somewhere and saw it on television recently so while waiting for Munira to finish her piano class this morning, Naz and I decided to try it out (Jalan Telawi, next to AL-Rajhi Bank).

First, we were asked to wash our feet. Then we were seated on comfortable cushions around a pool full of tiny little fishes that looked like 'ikan bilis' to me. The minute we put our legs (almost to our knee) into the pool, all the fishes (they looked hungry) started swimming towards our legs, and started nibbling. It was so 'menggelikan' at first, I couldn't stop giggling and couldn't stop shaking my legs. The fishes moved away every time I moved but would always come back for more dead skin - eeyewww. After 5 minutes or so, I got used to it and actually started enjoying the tingling sensation and the attention from those cute little fishes. It felt like there was mild electric current going through my legs and definitely an unforgettable experience.

Would I ever want to do this again? The answer is Yes. Why not.

They claim that these tiny species of fish are from the Middle East. They massage your feet whilst releasing healing enzymes, and not only rejuvenates but refreshes your skin revealing new smoother glowing skin! Wahh!
