benefits of warm paraffin, the wax must be melted to a temperature between 123–131 degrees
Fahrenheit. For proper application, quickly dip the body area (i.e. hand or elbow) into the melted
paraffin wax and remove immediately. Wait a few seconds for wax to solidify. This should be
repeated 6–10 times. Never soak in the wax for more than 1–2 seconds.
If you are very sensitive to heat or feel that this appliance may not be for you, please return this
product to the place of purchase, prior to use.

How to use the paraffin bath:
1. before immersing your hand or elbow test the paraffin wax on the
inside of your wrist to make sure the temperature of the wax
is comfortable. remove all jewelry before dipping (i.e. rings,
bracelets, watch).
NOTE: It is suggested you wash the area to be treated and apply
lanolin-based hand lotion over the area before dipping it into the
paraffin wax. This will allow the wax to be removed easier and will
Figure 1
help moisturize the skin.
2. dip your hand, elbow or foot into the melted paraffin wax and
remove immediately. Wait a few seconds until the wax solidifies.
Try to avoid moving your hand or elbow while wax is applied.
NOTE: dipping process is quick. do not leave hand or elbow in
the tub. do not soak. dip quickly in and out.
3. repeat this step several times until several layers have formed,
6–10 coatings are suggested.
4. for extended warmth, place a plastic liner (provided) over the
Figure 2
treated area and twist bag at opening. keep paraffin wax and liner
on treated area for 10–20 minutes for ultimate luxury. See fig. 4
5. Peel off the wax from the treated area. If using a plastic liner, peel
the plastic lining from the area being treated. Paraffin wax will peel
off with liner. See Fig. 5

can be re-used. Simply put the wax back into the tub to re-melt.
