paraffin wax treatments
Treatment using warm paraffin wax is long established. In fact, it has been around since the early 1960's. An efficient way of helping to reduce swelling in joints and connective tissue and soothe the pain from arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, sprains, joint stiffness and sports related injuries. The treatment also helps to improve circulation.
As a beauty treatment, this is a luxurious way of intense mositurising of the hands and feet making them feel refreshed, especially if you have very dry skin - and looking great. This treatment may be usefully combined with an aromatherapy facial. The intensive hand and foot treatment may be especially useful before a big day, such as a wedding or gala evening.
The procedure (for hands and feet) is that they are placed in a paraffin bath, which is held at around 50 degrees. When removed, the paraffin sets, retaining the heat and this warms, sooths and moisturises. The hands or feet are placed in a plastic liner and then into special mittens or socks to retain the warmth and intensify the moisturisation process. After 15 minutes, all is removed and the procedure is completed with a light massage and the application of a suitable day cream.
