Paraffin temperature is usually?

• A. 110-115
• B. 100-105
• C. 130-135
• D. 120-126

Answer: (D)

Paraffin therapy uses heat to soften tissues and improve circulation, so the bath must be warm but safely below the level that risks burns. The wax melts and holds heat best around about 125°F (roughly 52°C), and in practice the bath is kept near 120–126°F to balance effective heating with skin safety. That range is commonly used because it provides comfortable, therapeutic warmth without overexposure. The lower options are too cool to deliver meaningful heat, while the higher option is hotter than typical practice and increases burn risk for many people.
