Rx for Readers: Off-putting odor Jerusalem Post
Prof. Mel Rosenberg, Tel Aviv University microbiologist and the country's leading expert on odors and scents, replies:
Foot odor is a common condition, caused by naturally occurring bacterial growth on the feet, especially when wearing socks and shoes. So I am sure your son is not the only one. But having really smelly feet can cause a great deal of embarrassment. In many cultures, it is impolite to remove your shoes in public, whereas in other cultures it is impolite not to remove them.
Unpleasant foot odors usually emanate from moisture that comes from poor ventilation of the air - usually after the feet are inside footwear (shoes and socks) for a long time, especially when sweating. The human feet have more sweat glands than any other part of the body, and excessive perspiration of the feet occurs, especially in warm conditions. When the sweat doesn't evaporate, bacteria and fungi thrive on dead skin cells, resulting in smelly feet.
The main kinds of bacteria that cause
How do I get the paraffin wax to cool without going solid in my paraffin wax bath?
I have bought a paraffin wax bath with three settings solid, warm & melt. I set it to melt to melt the wax!! then turn it to warm for an hour to allow it to cool down enough to put my hands or feet in. During that time the wax starts to go solidify and then if I put my hand in the wax is really really hot underneath the solid layer. In order to melt the wax again I alter the setting to melt but the wax does melt but is then too hot. Any ideas would be apprecitated. Thanks
Try going warm before you go to melt mode to soften the wax up, then melt, then back warm. Also, when you go back to warm, stir the wax a bit to mix it up.....its normal for things to want to harden at the top because its exposed to the cool air. Good luck! Hope it works.
Has anyone else purchased an at-home paraffin bath with no temperature control? The wax gets scorching hot.?
I got a Waxwel paraffin bath, and didn't realize it had no temperature control. By the time all the wax is melted, it's blazingly hot. I unplugged it, but by the time the wax cooled enough to use without getting burned, it was solidifying again. How do you use these units that don't have temperature controls, or even a "high/low" setting?
YES I HAVE YOUR RIGHT BUT LOOK AT IT THIS WAY U SAVE MONEY ON YOUR BALL HAIR REMOVAL U DUMB CUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do shared paraffin baths carry a risk of infection?
For example, if someone using a home paraffin bath for their foot has a fungal infection in a toenail, would there be a risk of infecting others if they share the unit? I imagine the same question might apply to athlete's foot, or other communicable conditions. Thanks for any responses.
Where can I buy paraffin wax for my wax bath?
Besides online, what national stores carry it?
This is a foot/hand paraffin bath.
Thanks.
Any major grocery store should have it, either by the canning supplies or the baking goods. People use it when melting chocolate to keep it from sticking.
Temperature for paraffin bath, and how to check it?
buy a candy thermometer and place it in the paraffin. The temperature should be around 126 to 130 degrees F. The key to the use of the way is the amount of mineral oil that is in the mixture. Professionally made mixes have the amount set correctly. Use them if possible.
Can I melt paraffin wax for arthritis in an ordinary pot on the stove?
I wanted to buy an electric Paraffin wax bath machine to use for the arthritis in my hand, and I went to Walmart because I had seen them there before Christmas, but they had no more. Can I use an ordinary pot, on the stove, to melt the wax, or will it ruin the pot?
You probably can in a normal pot just fine, but I would reccomend using a double-boiler pot to heat it more evenly, and I don't think it would tend to stick as bad.
I am a hairdresser and have seen more than my share of people who burned themselves w/home wax or home paraffin kits. Good luck.
Yes, you can use a pot on the stove, but you need to use a double-boiler - something that will not put the wax in direct contact with the pot that is on the heating unit. That would be a fire hazard.
I'm assuming that there's an ideal temperature for the arthritis treatment that matches up with the temp of paraffin at some point. So, you might want a thermometer too.
The wax won't ruin your pot/container, but it will take a decent amount of heat, detergent, and washing to get the wax out.
See why those purpose-made units might be better?
I make candles and you need the candle wax container in a large pot then the wax melts. the candle container is washable and so is the pot. it gets very hot more than that device would. check the shopping on yahoo. to see if anyone has a sale
can paraffin be put in the bath?
No because as it cools it clumps.
Is it some kind oif strange fetish or sumat!
Advice on eczema and paraffin?
My 11-year old son has eczema, and it's especially bad on his hands during a breakout. I'm always "catching" him picking at the dead skin, and I was wondering about the possibility of buying a paraffin bath to get the dead cells off? He's doing more damage with his fingernails from SCRATCHING than from the eczema itself!
Thank you!
I did talk with his pediatrician, but without current medical insurance, those "chats" get kind of pricey!
Yes Parafin will help, My cousin uses it.
Bathing keeps the skin clean and free from crusts and scales, which helps to prevent infection. Frequent baths are the rule, at least once a day, twice daily if possible. It is essential to add a suitable bath oil emollient to the bath water, to prevent the skin from drying out.
Soaking in the water for at least 10 minutes, preferably 20 minutes, helps the skin considerably. Avoid ordinary over-the-counter soaps, which are irritant, alkaline and often perfumed. It is best to use aqueous cream to cleanse the skin. This is well tolerated by children and easy to use.
The temperature of the bath water should be cool and the bathroom warm. Avoid any sudden changes in temperature which may make the skin itch. Afterwards dry the skin by patting gently with a soft towel.
Bathing is better than showering, but if only a shower is possible, then use an appropriate emollient shower gel and rinse well before drying.
Gigi Brand Paraffin?
I have a digitial 8lb paraffin bath thingy (used for hands, feet, elbows, etc) made by Gigi Ltd. I lost the user manual. Does anyone know where I can find the manual online? Once I heat the wax, I cannot recall what the temp setting should be during use (after mani/pedi).
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. THX!!!
I work at a beaty warehouse and I can get the info for you tomorrow if no one else has the answer for you by then.
Does Feldenkrais or acupuncture help with arthritis?
I have thumb osteoarthritis that's getting worse. I wear hand splints and use a paraffin bath and even so, it's painful to cook, write, etc. Someone suggested Feldenkrais and acupuncture but I don't want to pay for treatment unless I'm sure it's helped other people.
Try apple cider vinegar 3 times a day or so. It has to be organic and with the mother. And it won't happen over night
