Guest guest Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 I used them for my hands when they were swollen, and it felt wonderful. They used them in physical therapy, and then I got my own. I say go for it. I don't see why you couldn't use it on your feet, too, if they will fit in the container.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 hi nancy from california, I'm a hairdresser and provide parrafin baths for my clients. The wax contains numerous natural ingredients, mostly minerals and herbal oils, which relieve inflammation, improve circulation, porvides deep moisture, and so much more. Every bath is different, as there are many different 'flavors' of wax you can buy. You might be able to go to a place like Sally Beauty Supply if you have those in your area, or some other beauty supply that is open to the public, and you can buy the system very inexpensively, choose your own wax for what you need, and you know it's just you using it, which is nice, and then you can do it anytime you want. I would not do it more than 3x per week though. Just keep the warmer on all the time, as it takes the better part of a day to warm up a hot bath of wax. Your kit should also contain a sterilizing skin spray to use before you dip, the plastic baggies, and mits & booties. Good luck, hope it keeps working for you.

A friend let me use one for my hands tonight (which were not swollen at the time) and it felt great. But my feet were really swollen and inflammed tonight and I was afraid to try it there for fear the hot wax would make the inflammation worse. I figured somebody out there probably has tried or knows something about them? Thanks. > from California > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 My mom swears by them. You can use the 20% off coupons for both the warmer and the paraffin at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Sue [ ] Hot Wax Baths Have any of you had any experience with the hot parafin/wax baths for your hands and feet? A friend let me use one for my hands tonight (which were not swollen at the time) and it felt great. But my feet were really swollen and inflammed tonight and I was afraid to try it there for fear the hot wax would make the inflammation worse. I figured somebody out there probably has tried or knows something about them? Thanks. from California Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
