Paraffin is a soft wax which melts at a very low temperature. It is used as a treatment to soften and smooth the skin. Paraffin bath treatments also have a long history of providing a thermal relief from various chronic conditions (arthritis, diabetes, bursitis, etc.) as well as acute physical conditions (such as sports injuries). Paraffin comes in different colors and fragrances.

Hydrocarbons: Paraffin wax consists primarily of saturated hydrocarbons. It is a byproduct of the petroleum refining process. Solid State: At room temperature, paraffin wax is solid but can be easily melted down to a liquid form for various uses.

Moisturizing: When applied to the skin, paraffin wax creates a barrier that helps retain moisture, making it an effective treatment for dry and cracked skin. Heat Therapy: The heat from the melted wax can help soothe sore muscles and joints, making it beneficial for individuals with arthritis or other rheumatic conditions. It increases blood flow and relaxes muscles, providing pain relief and improving flexibility. Exfoliation: The application and removal of paraffin wax can help exfoliate dead skin cells, leaving the skin smoother and softer.
