Wax therapy is a method to treat diseases with paraffin as the main raw material. Paraffin wax is the best medium in conduction hyperthermia because of its large heat capacity, low thermal conductivity and long heat dissipation time. It can be in close contact with various parts of the body and is often used to treat pain caused by wind, cold and dampness in clinic. When paraffin wax is applied to the affected area after heating, local tissues can be heated, blood vessels can be dilated, circulation can be accelerated, and cell permeability can be increased. Because of the long duration of heat energy, it is beneficial to the dissipation of deep tissue edema and anti-inflammatory and analgesic. Excerpted from Wang Dafu Wax Therapy Health House/llfz.asp.
