The Theory Wax Bath Therapy is all about relieving pain, treating or preventing muscle injury and deep cleansing your skin, all naturally and without drugs.Pain is Natures way of saying ‘Something’s wrong’. Millions of nerve endings send massive electrical signals to the brain, pinpointing the source of the problem. Healing agents, called Endorphins, are sent to the site, to restore the natural state, and the pain diminishes. Should the path be blocked, for whatever reason, the pain would persist. Unlike Adrenalin which is channelled through the nervous system rapidly, Endorphins take a more leisurely route through the blood and airways. and that watery layer between muscle tissue and the body’s largest organ, the skin. It is within this ‘sub-coetaneous layer’ that treatment, without the use of drugs, is conducted. Access to this layer is gained via thousands of tiny holes in the skin, which, in effect, make it absorbent or porous.
Gently raising the temperature of the skin, locally, around the affected area, and warming the sub layer, triggers a gland in the base of the brain to release endorphins and send them to that local area. They make contact with the pain sensors and provide soothing relief. A sprained wrist or ankle will automatically generate localised heat to produce the same effect, all 100% naturally. At the same time, because the skin pores are wide open, it allows other natural healing agents and soothers to be absorbed locally, forming a natural poultice around the source of pain.
The Treatment The area around the source of the pain is encased in a warm glove or blanket of wax. Latent heat is transferred through the skin, warming the sub layer.
The brain is ‘tricked’ to release Natures own healing endorphins and are thus encouraged to flow freely, relieving pain quickly and effectively. The open skin pores allow natural oils, applied to the area beforehand, to be absorbed. The oils dissipate slowly, prolonging the effect. As the wax cools, so the pores close from the inside, gently expelling any unwanted trapped matter.
The result; soothing pain relief without drugs, coupled with naturally cleansed, soft skin. The Product Over twenty-five years of research, development and experience is at your fingertips. Natural wax, blended with natural oils, is warmed to a specifically controlled temperature.
