Paraffin Wax Foot Baths
Paraffin Wax Bath
In addition to soothing and healing the skin, paraffin treatments have many therapeutic benefits for internal ailments as well. Paraffin wax has been shown to treat conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia among others. A wax treatment acts as a type of thermotherapy, or heat therapy, that helps treat these conditions by increasing blood flow, relaxing muscles and reducing stiffness in joints. It can also help with minimizing muscle spasms and inflammation and to treat sprains and pulled muscles.
Paraffin wax therapy can be particularly effective for those suffering from osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Regular paraffin foot treatments can help relax joints and relieve pain in the feet. It can also help with increasing blood flow (perfusion) and lowering fluid retention and flushing toxins, which can help to reduce swelling. Your skin will be silky smooth and soft following a paraffin wax foot bath.
