How to Use a Paraffin Wax Machine

There are several at-home remedies for all
types of mild health concerns from headaches
to muscle aches and joint stiffness. Paraffin
wax can be used to help treat joint stiffness,
ease pain and loosen hand and foot joints
before exercise. You can use paraffin wax at
home in a machine that heats the wax in a
shallow well. While there are several types of
paraffin wax machines, there are basic
instructions for how to use one.
Set up
1.Set the paraffin wax machine on a flat,
steady surface near a wall socket.
2.Put the unmelted paraffin wax into the
machine and, if it comes with a plastic grill,
place it on top. Be sure to place the
designated amount of wax into the
machine, as directed in the operating
instructions that came with it. Place the lid
on top.
3.Plug in the machine and let sit for as
long as the instructions say. The
paraffin is ready when it has
completely melted.
4.Add paraffin as needed to the
machine. There will be an indicator on
the machine to tell you how much to
add and where the limit is. Be careful
not to overfill the machine.
• Using the Machine
1.Wash and dry the area of the body
you want to be treated. Treat small
areas such as a foot, elbow or hand. Be
sure to take off any jewelry from that
area of the body.
2.Test the wax with your fingertip to
make sure it's the right temperature. If
not, adjust the temperature.
3.Dip the selected body part into the
paraffin. Repeat three to 10 times.
4.Cover the body part with a plastic
liner that came with the machine.
Place an insulated mitt onto the area
to retain the heat of the wax.
5.Let the wax sit on your selected
body part for 10 to 15 minutes.
6.Remove the insulated mitt
from the treated body part.
Dispose of the used wax and
liner.
7.Refill the paraffin wax
machine if necessary using Step
4 of Section 1.
• Tips & Warnings
1.Consult your physician before using a
paraffin wax machine.
2.Never apply paraffin that has been
used.
3.Before using the machine, test some
of the paraffin wax on a small part of
your body to be sure you aren't allergic
to it.
4.Never apply paraffin to skin
with wounds or cuts or is
irritated.
5.Don't touch the side of the
machine because it may cause a
burn.
6.Don't use the machine if you
have poor blood circulation.
