Homedics Paraspamini Par-100 Paraffin Heat Therapy

Bring professional spa pampering right into your home with this paraffin bath. Paraffin wax treatments soften and smooth the skin of hands, elbows, and feet, and the heat can soothe sore muscles and aching joints. Using the bath is no more complicated than melting 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 pounds of paraffin (3 pounds included) in the 12-1/2-inch-long oval tub. The temperature control is then turned to keep warm and the wax allowed to cool for an hour before hands and elbows are dipped into the melted paraffin 6 to 10 times. For longer treatments, a plastic liner (30 included) can be placed over the wax layers to retain heat. (For even longer heat treatments, HoMedics sells mitts and boots.) If others use the bath, used wax should probably be discarded. Otherwise, it can be returned to the tub. The unit carries a one-year warranty against defects. –Fred Brack
