Wax Therapy

Wax Therapy

Wax Therapy  is a therapeutic treatment that uses warm, melted paraffin wax to relieve pain and promote healing. During the therapy, hands, feet, or other affected body parts are immersed in the warm wax, which then solidifies around the area. This process creates a soothing, moist heat that helps to increase blood flow, relax muscles, and alleviate stiffness.

How Wax Therapy Works

1. Heat Application

How It Works:

The warm wax is applied to the affected area, either by dipping, brushing, or wrapping. The heat penetrates deep into the tissues, increasing blood flow and relaxing muscles.

Effect:

The heat from the wax penetrates deeply, relaxing muscles and easing joint pain, especially in arthritis and tendonitis.

Heat promotes increased blood flow to the treated area, aiding in faster healing and reducing inflammation.

Warmth from the wax soothes muscle tension, improving flexibility and reducing stiffness in affected joints.

2. Moisturizing Effect

How It Works:

The paraffin wax traps moisture in the skin, leaving it soft and hydrated after the treatment, which is beneficial for skin conditions like dryness and cracking.

Effect:

The wax locks in moisture, deeply hydrating dry or cracked skin, leaving it soft and smooth after treatment.

Regular use of wax therapy improves skin elasticity, making it more supple and reducing roughness.

The moisturizing effect helps calm irritated or sensitive skin, promoting healing in conditions like eczema or psoriasis.

3. Muscle and Joint Relief

How It Works:

The heat from the wax helps soothe stiff joints and muscles, reducing pain and improving flexibility, especially in conditions like arthritis.

Effect:

The warmth from the wax soothes sore muscles and joints, reducing discomfort from conditions like arthritis and tendonitis.

Heat therapy helps loosen stiff joints and tight muscles, improving overall flexibility and range of motion.

By relaxing the muscles, wax therapy decreases tension, promoting better function and reducing the risk of spasms.
