HoMedicsParaffin Wax Bath for Feet, Hands & Elbows - Paraffin Foot Bath for Soft & Hydrated Skin, Soothing Heat Baths to Help Ease Stiff Joints, Includes 3 Bags of Reusable, Hypoallergenic Wax

The media could not be loaded. When I decided to purchase the wax bath was a little dubious that it would work, I’ve been attending Occupational Therapy on and off since July this year for treatments after a work accident I had February 2016 then an operation March 2018, then to discover I now have CRPS chronic Regional Pain Sydrome. As soon as I got the Bath it looked great plenty of wax and put it too the test! Takes a good couple of hours to heat from cold but the second time was just over an hour! Room to get my whole hand and my wrist in but you have to move it about to get it fully covered which I don’t mind! Plastic bags come with it too. I did the same as if I was at OT 3 dips put in the bag then wrap in a towel, sit for 10 to 15 minutes and the result is amazingly the same, I can’t believe I’ve been travelling to hospital and back and I can do this myself allowing another patient who desperately needs a space in the hand class my place. For the money your not wasting your time as a few trips to hospital and car parks pay for itself. I can now use it as often as I wish instead of once a week with the same result. I definitely recommend this wax bath for hands and feet even for arthritis issues will ease the pain no complaints at all, apart from I struggled to get the wax out of the packets with my CRPS but that’s not a moan that’s just me saying get someone to put them in the bath for you if you struggle the product is fantastic. I videoed it for my friend who just had an operation on her foot.

I’ve had this treatment professionally and it’s just as good doing it myself. Really easy, really effective.

Product was delivered quickly and received a day ahead of scheduled delivery date. The instructions are clear and the 'bath' is easy to use. This was bought for my father who is suffering from hand joint pain. He has used it a couple of times now, and has found the setting up and use very easy. The only comment he has made so far is that the wax was too hot and was uncomfortable, and so has tried leaving it a couple of minutes to see if that helps. It is a compact product which can easily be stored away when not in use, and is good value for money.

I suffered a hand injury and was attending hospital for hot wax therapy. Its alot hotter than the NHS one I had to let it cool down first as there is no pm temperature control.It felt like I was going to BURN my skin.

Unbelievable item. Helps my mom to ease the pain.

After carefully following the instructions I used 2 of the 1lb paraffin wax blocks and switched on the unit to heat them and melt the wax. The red “Heating Do Not Use” indicator light on the front of the unit came on indicating heating was underway. Four hours later the red light was still showing. I removed the lid and used a digital thermometer probe which showed the temperature of the paraffin wax was in excess of 70 degrees! Way above the 50-55degrees stated in the product specification. Obviously this would scald severely. I can only imagine that the unit has a faulty temperature regulator. I am returning the product and getting a refund.

Very good product recommended by my consultant for pain relief etc. Easy to use . Value for money.

Makes my hands and feet feellovely and soft. It is a bit hot at first.
