How does Ichthyotherapy work?
The name Ichthyotherapy comes from the Greek name for fish - Ichthys. The Psoriasis treatment (therapy) is administered with the help of nibble fish.
The Garra Rufa or Red Barb belongs to the carp family and is mainly found in Kangal, Turkey - therefore it is also called the Kangal fish.
A long time ago, people discovered the fish's ability to cure skin diseases and therefore Kangal became a health resort.
The fish nibble off excrescent skin, which by the way also feels pleasant.
Ichthyotherapy ensures a sustained abatement of the ailment, especially the extremely unpleasant itching.
