3. Getting to know your instrument

The MPE 70 paraffin bath brings paraffin wax to melting point.

Dry and chapped hands, feet or elbows are submerged repeatedly for short periods of time into

thewarmliquidparaffinwaxandthenremovedagain.Thiscausesathinlayerofwaxtoform

aroundtheaffectedpartofthebody,overwhichasheetisadditionallyplaced.Thewarmthof

theparaffinwaxopenstheporesoftheskinandmoistureescapes.Thelayerofwaxpreventsthe

moisture from escaping. Instead, the moisture enters the opened pores and penetrates deep into

the skin, where it is absorbed. This makes skin especially soft and smooth. After an exposure time

of20minutes,theparaffinwaxcanberemovedfromtheaffectedbodyparts.

Inaddition,thewarmthoftheparaffinbathimprovescirculation.
