What Is Paraffin Wax Bath Therapy?

Paraffin wax bath therapy is an application of molten paraffin wax and mineral oil to the hands. Paraffin wax is a white or colorless soft, solid wax. Paraffin acts as a form of heat therapy. It is completely natural and has a low melting point, which means it can be easily applied to the skin at a temperature low enough to not cause burns or blisters.​
