With the nickname of Doctor Fish, Garra Rufa Fish are one of the the more bizarre treatments for skin disorders, including Eczema, Psoriasis and Dermatitis. But it is also one of the most effective.

Originating from Turkey, the Garra Rufa literally fish eat the dead skin of psoriasis-sufferers by nibbling on it. Although only just available in Ireland, Gara Rufa have been used in this way for more than four hundred years.

Although not scientifically proven many people have found amazing visible improvement after being nibbled.
