the paraffin imitates the natural oils, creating a seal stopping water leaving the body and reduces pain by protecting sensitised nerves. both of these factors improve healing - good stuff stays in, bad stays out - that is one job of healthy skin. aloe is good coz it remoisturises but that moisture can be quickly lost as the skin can't contain fluids. so put aloe on, and then the paraffin on over the top. if there is broken skin leave out the aloe - just paraffin
To solidify, the paraffin has to get rid of excess heat, so the heat flow is outward.
My physical therapist says you can reuse the paraffin in a home paraffin spa. You wouldn't want a salon or physical therapist to reuse theirs, because you wouldn't want other people's germs on your skin.
Golf wax is the name of a brand of paraffin wax. Paraffin wax is usually used for making candles, or for therapeutic wax for the skin.
Used to test for residue on the skin that can result from discharging a firearm, the suspect's skin is coated with warm paraffin, which is applied to the skin to open up its pores. This collects contaminants from the skin. If the suspect had fired a gun, one potential contaminant would be the nitrates from gun powder residue. Once the paraffin hardens and is removed, either diphenylamine or diphenylbenzidine is introduced to the paraffin cast, which will turn it blue in the presence of nitrates. Thus, the presence of blue dots on the paraffin casts is evidence that the suspect had fired a gun. Other sources of nitrates can produce a false positive result.
