Paraffin wax is a natural emollient that helps make the skin supple and soft while also delivering a deep, moist heat to muscles and joints.
The treatment involved dipping hands or feet into bags of paraffin wax or having your RMT “paint” the wax onto an area of the body that would benefit from the wax treatment.
While exposing the area of the body to be treated by paraffin wax, the layers of the wax solidify. Once the moisturizing warm wax has had its effect for several minutes, it’s peeled off and the area is then ready to be massaged, stretched, exercised, or treated with any additional therapeutic measures.
Once liquified, paraffin retains, absorbs, and efficiently transfers heat to the affected part of the body.
