Paraffin wax baths for hands and feet

Hi

I've been having physio and wax baths for my hand arthritis. I've decided, on the recommendation of the physio, to buy my own treatment kit, but can't find anywhere that sells them, other than individual sellers on e-bay. Any ideas of reputable suppliers? And any feedback, if you are using one.

Thanks

Katy

I got mine on Amazon too. Works well, but very time consuming!

Hi Pipsmum,

I attended a "Living with Arthritis" event recently and wax baths were mentioned then. Apparently you can buy theraputic wax from Boots.

Hope that helps

Regards

Hi pipsmum

I bought homedics one from tescodirect after using one with the physio.

I've found mine too be beneficial.

Good luck.

I got one from Argos -- found it beneficial in the early days . Not used it in recent times as i find it is a time consuming job. Jane

Thanks for your comments and suggestions everyone. I'm considering ordering one I've seen online, but with postage, it will be about £50. HAve you seen any cheaper? Tesco and Argos don't seem to be doing them just now.
