Wax Bath

Hugo_18

Has anyone used a wax bath for their hands before ? I’ve been recommended to try it by my consultant today. I’ve had rheumatoid for 15 years and its the first time I’ve heard of wax baths before so was just curious if anyone else has any experience with one ?

Thank you

I was given wax baths for my hands as part of my physio way back in the '70s. I found them briefly soothing but no more.
