Paraffin Wax..

Not a medical question of course.

But since most of us here will suffer joint or muscular pains as a result of training I'm hoping someone might have some info on using Paraffin or Paraffin wax in their treatment of joint pain?..

Or where it can be bought (preferrably in Dublin).

I got a bottle of it years ago which I've used on my hands since, they suffer terribly from grip fighting in Judo but its ran out and I can't find some anywhere.

Anywhere that supplies beauty and nail salons will have it. Try salon services I'd say.

I think the stuff you are looking for is called 'Liquid Paraffin'.
Johnson's baby oil is this plus perfume.

Liquid Parafin is also used as a laxative.
