Garra rufa , red garra (although this is also called fish , and nibble ) is a small species of cyprinid fish derived from rivers, streams, ponds and lakes in Anatolia and the Middle East.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, Garra rufa has been integrated into a spa treatment where they feed on the skin of patients with psoriasis. While fish medicine doctors have been found to relieve the symptoms of psoriasis, the treatment is not curative, and no cure for psoriasis currently exists. The use of fish as a spa treatment for the wider community is still widely debated on the basis of efficacy and validity.

Genesis
Garra rufa occurs in the valleys of the Anatolian rivers in Turkey and the Middle East North and Central, especially in Syria, Iraq, Iran and Oman. Legally protected from commercial exploitation in Turkey due to excessive harvesting concerns for exports. Garra rufa can be stored in an aquarium at home; while not really a "beginner fish". For the treatment of skin diseases, aquarium specimens are unsuitable because skin feeding behaviors fully manifest only in conditions where food supplies can be scarce and unpredictable.
When doctors are looking for food to peel off the dead skin, they look for foods that in the wild comprise aufwuchs. In marine and freshwater environments, algae - especially green algae and diatoms - are the dominant components of the aufwuchs community. Small crustaceans, rotifers, and protozoans are also commonly found in freshwater and sea, but insect larvae, oligochaet, and tardigrades are typical of freshwater aufwuchs fauna.

Spa resort
Fishing facilities at spa resorts exist in many countries around the world. In 2006, fish spa spa resorts opened in Kangal, Turkey, Hakone, Japan, and Umag, Croatia, where fish are used to clean the baths at the spa. In 2008, two widely known pedicure fish doctor services were opened in the United States in Alexandria, Virginia, and in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Wisconsin ordered the closure of fish doctor services immediately after its opening. In 2010 the first spa opened in the United Kingdom in Sheffield. In 2011, the UK Health Protection Agency issued a report that set the risk of "very low" to move the infection from the procedure.
This practice is banned in some states in the United States and Canadian provinces as cosmetology regulators believe this practice is unhealthy, with the Wall Street Journal saying that "cosmetology rules generally mandate that tools should be thrown away or cleaned after every use. too expensive to dispose of. "The procedure is legal in Quebec, with several clinics in Montreal. The People's Animal Rights Organization for the Ethical Treatment of Animals denounced the practice, citing unfeeling international transportation methods and suggesting that the fish were deliberately starving among treatments to force them to take this abnormal food.
