Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9526176A1] A wax bath for use in medical or beauty treatment comprises an open-topped vessel (2) for holding molten wax and into which a portion of the body can be dipped. The vessel (2) is adapted to hold a liquid (26) other than the wax and on which the wax can float in a surface layer (28). This liquid (26) comprises a heat source for maintaining the wax in a molten state. The liquid (26) is itself heated by a heating means (7) to a temperature above the melting point of wax in order to melt the wax indirectly and to maintain it in a molten state whilst the bath is in use. Preferably, one side wall (6) of the vessel is inclined to the vertical and the heating means (7) is located adjacent to it so that convection currents can be set up within the liquid (26) running along the underside of the wax layer (28) in order to melt it in a substantially even manner.
