Heat therapy

Paraffin-ozocerite therapy

Paraffin-ozocerite therapy is a localised thermal procedure which is suitable for the relaxation of tense muscles (for example, prior to a massage) or as relief of pain and inflammation or improvement of blood circulation in case of chronic joint disorders. The addition of ozocerite or mountain wax increases the thermal capacity of the mixture.

Paraffin for hands and feet (paraffin gloves and paraffin socks)

This has a warming effect, cares for the skin, improves blood circulation and has a favourable effect on local metabolism. This form of paraffin treatment reduces pain in the joins of fingers and toes, small muscles and ligaments of the palm and of the foot. The procedure efficiently improves gaps in the skin of fingers and soles of the feet, often of older people. Examples include tea tree oil paraffin for the feet, which also has an antiseptic effect; and menthol or rosemary paraffin for the hands.
