Paraffin Wax Bath Therapy

At Revine Naturopathy, we use Paraffin Wax Bath Therapy to help ease pain, reduce stiffness, and improve movement, especially in the hands and feet. This therapy is simple and comfortable, and it’s often used for people with conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, or joint stiffness.

How Does Paraffin Wax Bath Therapy Work?

In this therapy, we use warm paraffin wax that’s been melted into a liquid form. The temperature of the wax is kept at a comfortable level, so it’s soothing when applied to your skin. Here’s how the process works at Revine Naturopathy:

1. Dipping the Body Part: We gently dip the area of your body that needs treatment—like your hands or feet—into the warm wax.
2. Layering the Wax: After the first dip, we let the wax cool slightly on your skin, and then we repeat the process several times, creating multiple layers of wax around the affected area.
3. Wrapping and Resting: Once enough layers are built up, we wrap the area with a towel to trap the heat. The wax stays on your skin for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the warmth to deeply penetrate your muscles and joints.

What Does the Therapy Do?

The warmth from the wax does a few important things:

• Relieves Pain and Stiffness: The heat helps loosen tight muscles and joints, making it easier to move and feel more comfortable.
• Increases Blood Flow: As the heat spreads, it helps bring more blood and nutrientsto the area, promoting healing.
• Moisturizes Skin: The wax also locks in moisture, making your skin feel soft and smooth.

Who Can Benefit from Paraffin Wax Bath Therapy?

At Revine Naturopathy, we recommend this therapy for people with:

• Arthritis: The warmth helps reduce joint pain and makes it easier to move your fingers, hands, or feet.
• Tendonitis: If you have inflammation in your tendons, this therapy can help reduce the swelling and discomfort.
• Joint Stiffness: Anyone who struggles with stiff joints can benefit from the deep heat that helps to loosen up muscles and joints.
