How Paraffin Wax Therapy Works

Paraffin wax has the capacity to absorb and retain a great amount of heat. A paraffin wax spa takes advantage of paraffin's heat-retaining capacity via a simple process called heat transfer, which as the term implies transfers heat to the affected area. As the paraffin melts into liquid form, it has the ability to retain more heat. When the affected part of the body is immersed in the spa or bath, the paraffin that surrounds this area becomes solid and emits a heat that is known as the "heat of fusion". In simple terms, the heat involved in melting the paraffin is transferred to the affected part of the body. It reduces pain and stiffness around joints by removing excess fluid from surrounding tissue and providing lubrication.
