Paraffin wax therapy takes the advantage of paraffin's heat-retaining capacity in a simple process called heat transfer. In technical terms, for this paraffin treatment heat is transferred to the core of the affected area as paraffin goes through a phase change. As it melts, the paraffin becomes a liquid and is able to retain more heat.Then, when a hand, foot, or other area is dipped into the heated bath, the phase of the paraffin that surrounds the dipped area quickly changes into a solid. The heat that is given off from this paraffin therapy is called the heat of fusion or simply, the heat that goes into melting the paraffin comes out when it solidifies into a comforting paraffin coating, thus transferring the heat into the affected limb. Another way to look at this heat therapy product is that it is the medium that transfers heat from the painful area. At the same time, this heat treatment helps to open pores and increases circulation in the skin.This is why this heat therapy is so beneficial to skin, leaving skin softened and more radiant. Paraffin Wax Refill With Heat Retaining Capacity is triple filtered for purity. This paraffin wax treatment deeply hydrates and delivers fast. Drug-free relief , soft, pliable, and non greasy is great for any paraffin bath. The paraffin wax is unscented, with no fragrance or dyes added . | | | Features: | |

 Lovely way to make your room smell like lavenderMay 12, 2007
By M. Penny
I bought these as a replacement for the Therabath and I was satisfied. I am a big fan of lavender, and a pleasant surprise with this product is when it was first melted down my whole apartment smelled like lavender--lovely! I find that the wax itself works fine to soften my hands and feet. And contrary to some previous reviewers, I found that mine actually did come in tiny balls, rather than congealed together. This definitely made the paraffin bath easier to fill than having the huge blocks (which I had to score and break so that I could get multiple blocks into the container to melt initially)--although if you are not filling a completely empty container it may not matter as much (meaning, it may not be worth the extra costs for the balls, if there is one). If you get the large bath, it will take at least 4 of these to fill it up to an appropriate amount, so you may want to get more than one box. Enjoy!

paraffin waxFeb 15, 2008
By Janet
This is an excellent product. It is easy to add the amount needed to a paraffin bath because the paraffin comes in small pieces rather than a solid one pound block. It melts faster, too. The lavender fragrance is lovely. This is so soothing for painful arthritic hands or feet and for dry skin. This was the lowest price I found for this product.

Ooo, nice!Dec 23, 2007
By Karen Anne Webb
Had gotten on to order my usual Homedics and saw someone comment about the price, so I checked out the "people who viewed this item also viewed..." and found this. Very happy with the quality, and the scent is light, relaxing, and wonderful!

help and hope for my daughterNov 01, 2009
By Stuart R. Hammett
My daughter had a rare blood disorder that resulted in widespread scleraderma on her arm. This causes hardening of the tissues, skin problems, and loss of function in her hand. All in all, a nightmare for this young woman.
She was introduced to this therapy by her hand and arm physical therapist. It helped her greatly, and they decided that daily therapy at home would be a huge benefit. We purchased this unit, which, for all intents and purposes, is the same as the professional unit used by her therapists.
We have hope that systemic drug therapy will eventually reverse and even cure the scleraderma, but we think the wax treatments are essential to prevent further damage in the interim. If it can help someone like my daughter, then it should be a fine option for many people with less severe skin conditions.
