Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a good paraffin wax machine to use as a form of therapy? I have been told that it can help with pain and swelling and provide some comfort.

I bought mine from Amazon - it was the cheapest that I found and it works well, although I find it difficult to find the time to just sit with the wax - although I know I should.

I bought one thrugh Amazon, about 2 years ago. It's Dr Scholl, and cost about $35 Australian dollars. It's very good for dipping hands, and easy to use. i suggest you check on Amazon to see if it's till available. Good luck! having said all this, although very nice to use, I have seldom used it, and I think warm, supportive gloves are more helpful.
