For All Paraffin Wax Treatments

• Thoroughly wash and dry the area to be treated. Remove jewelry. Make sure clothing is well out of the way of treatment area.
• If desired, test the temperature of the bath. The internal thermostat of the Therabath unit ensures that the bath is kept at a safe, medically prescribed temperature and that the paraffin will not be too hot. To test the temperature, dab a small amount on the inside of your wrist. The paraffin will feel warm, but it will not burn.
• Discard used paraffin.
