PARAFFIN WAX BATHS

A paraffin wax unit is a machine that heats and holds paraffin wax. The wax is intended to completely cover the hand (or other body parts such as the feet). 

Its warm temperature is meant to provide relief from arthritis pain, sore joints or sore muscles. 

It acts like a form of heat therapy and can help increase blood flow, relax muscles, and decrease joint stiffness. 

Using a paraffin wax bath can can help if you have osteoarthritis , it will  ease pain and stiffness in affected joints, particularly in the hands and feet

It also promotes supple and soft skin on your hands, feet and elbows

Paraffin wax can also minimize muscle spasms and inflammation as well as treat sprains.

Paraffin wax is completely safe and beneficial for the skin and the body. Since it does not need to be heated to a high temperature to melt, you can apply it to your skin without worrying about the risk of getting burned. 

This unit should not be used if you have open wounds/cuts, problems with sensation, or if you only want to warm your hands.

For people with sensitive skin, paraffin wax may be cautionary and could result in a heat rash.
