I am officially addicted to foot spa! I consider my feet very delicate and intimate so I never go to a salon for a pedicure. I do my own pedicure and manicure.  But because a friend talks so much about how good having  a foot spa feels, I decided to try it one day. And whoa! Its one of the best relaxing and feel-good pampering of oneself. After my foot spa, my feet is more delicate than ever and I felt like my whole being was refreshed. I now do believe that some toxins or stress in our body can be removed by way of relaxing and massaging our feet. To make sure I have a weekly foot spa without breaking the bank, I purchased my own home spa that consists of the following: a foot massage spa, pumice stone to soften calluses and rough skin, nail brush, foot soak, foot scrub (I love the ones with peppermint), foot spray and finish off with foot balm.

But I think foot spa will revolutionize itself. I heard so much about people going ga-ga over some foot spa that uses fish as live foot scrubber/sucker of dead skins? Sounds icky but many swore its so effective.  So where does this school of fish came from? These fishes are originally from Northern and Central Middle East. The species are called Garra rufa and Cyprinion macrostomus. These fishes have so many nicknames, “Doctor Fish”, “nibble fish”, “sucker fish”, etc. The name “Doctor Fish” is popular because it says that these fishes can cure skin diseases like psoriasis. There have been a lot of fish spa in Asia and now starting in the US. I think I will try one soon for the experience of it. I swear I am very ticklish but having a fish spa will take me to the next level. You can watch these fishes in action here.
