Elixina Aqua Centre in the heart of Barcelona offers one of the most ancient treatments in the world, connecting beauty environment and well-being; the Garra Rufa fish. This time-tested, old world beauty treatment is now being used in a very modern and acute way to treat patients with great success.

With a simple soak in relaxing and heated water, the Garra Rufa, known as "doctor" fish, painlessly erase the outward signs of stress and neglect from the skin, leaving you relaxed and refreshed. Inhabitants of the ancient world began to visit popular springs containing the fish as early as 600 AD. It wasn't long before crude pools were constructed in order to benefit from the healing fish.

Finally, in the 50s and 60s several resorts were built, touting close proximity to the fish, as well as the healing spring water they came from. While locals had long since known of the beautifying effect that Garra Rufa fish have on the skin, sufferers of psoriasis have had the most dramatic results from the treatments. People from all over the world continue to visit the region targeting specifically a treatment for psoriasis with a Garra Rufa massage. Doctor fish have often accomplished what no creams or medications could accomplish. That is a wholesome relief from the effects of psoriasis.
