I've heard of wax dip, sounds like it would be great, if not too pricey...That reminds me of a techinique I picked up years ago from a book with Isometric exercises for guitarists, this was an all-purpose thing for relaxing & refreshing tired hands...in a double sink, fill one side with hot (not scalding, of course!) water, the other side with cold, adding a few ice cubes as well, then just dip your hands in each side for long as it feels good...tried it few times myself, really stimulates the blood flow & gets rid of that achy feeling...
