What kind of wax is used to treat any kind of pains or aches?
Is it the normal candle wax or is it something different? Also can i use a normal wax heater ( used for waxing) to melt that wax? Just curious.

I think you are asking about paraffin wax
Its particularly used for arthritris pain
Use a crock-pot to heat and liquefy the paraffin wax. You should start out on a low temperature for safety. Stir the wax as it melts.
Dip one hand into the warm paraffin and submerge it up to your wrist. Keep your fingers spread apart so the wax can get between them. Raise your hand out of the paraffin, then dip it back in again to add another layer. Do this ten times to ensure a good coating.
Remove your hand from the wax, then wrap it in plastic wrap or slide it into a plastic bag. Cover it
with a towel to retain the heat as long as possible. Keep your hand still inside of the bag so you do not crack the wax.
After allowing the wax to stay on your hand for 20 minutes, peel it off over the crock-pot. Let it fall into the pot so you can reuse it for future treatments.
Be careful wax will catch fire very easily
You will get parafiin wax in shops
Have a great weekend friend :-)

I suspect you're referring to the use of warmed paraffin wax for joint pain. It's not the wax, it's the penetrating heat (as well as some counter-irritant effects) and consequent increased circulation that gives some people relief.
Dipping hands/feet in wax or "painting" the wax over sore joints is how it's commonly used. It's also a lovely spa treatment to soften skin. :)
Careful not to get the wax too hot and cause burns!

definite, first see an orthopedic well-being care expert or orthopedic healthcare expert. as quickly as you get a prognosis you may go from there. Why are you so adversarial to chiropractors? i'm no longer a individual who thinks they are able to treatment each little thing yet I do think of they have their place. in case you had a foul journey that's particularly useful to purely attempt a diverse practitioner. At one time i presumed it had to break to get an adjustment because of the fact the only 2 men I had considered have been so tough. I keep in mind how lots i might dread getting into. We tried various drs until now finding one that is particularly painless. some are particularly very mushy, you merely ought to locate the impressive one. If an ortho dr isn't able to help your soreness and you will no longer evaluate chiropractics you will possibly locate some alleviation with an acupuncturist, stay faraway from cupping even with the undeniable fact that it particularly is a nightmare.

I'm familiar with the use of wax to cause pain, it's popular in the BDSM crowd. I don't think it's going to cure anything though.
