A paraffin treatment is more than just a luxurious addition to a
manicure. Check out the many benefits of paraffin wax.
A wax bath has many wonderful benefits for both your skin and your
overall health. Paraffin wax has a long history for treating all kinds
of ailments naturally and it is still beneficial today.
Your hands or feet will be dipped several times quickly into a small tub
of heated paraffin wax. The paraffin is often scented with soothing
essential oils.
Whether you are looking to maintain your healthy skin or heal dry and
cracked hands and feet, the cosmetic and healing benefits of a paraffin
treatment are numerous. The opening of pores and removal of dead skin
cells will rejuvenate the appearance of your skin and make your hands
and feet feel silky and smooth.
Paraffin is a natural emollient so it adds moisture to the sink while
the wax is applied, but it also helps create moisture in your skin long
after the treatment is complete. A paraffin treatment creates a sort of
barrier on your skin that helps retain the oils that your body naturally
produces.
A wax bath can also aid in healing problems with the skin. Paraffin wax
can be effective in soothing and softening calluses on hands and feet
and healing dry cracked skin, especially on heels.

Paraffin wax has been shown to treat conditions like 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.
