Naftalan, the special medical rehabilitation hospital, uses the unique site of natural medicinal oil (naftalan) and special saline thermal mineral water.
It is believed that this priceless treasure is a result of the withdrawal of the ancient Pannonian Sea from this area two million years ago.
Naphthenic oil is derived from biological, organic material by deposition of dead microorganisms at the bottom of the sea or lake, where they were covered with mineral particles. The first one to ever write about the healing properties of naftalan in international literature was the world traveller Marco Polo. Naftalan harnessed all this knowledge and benefits and opened its door to health tourism in 1989. Ever since, we have been welcoming guests from all over the world who keep coming back, demonstrating beyond doubt their satisfaction with the quality of our services and the uniqueness of the treatments we offer.
In fact, this is a medical oasis for the treatment of skin and inflammatory rheumatic diseases, and for implementing medical wellness programmes and skin rejuvenation treatments. The combination of modern physical therapy methods and natural healing agents makes it possible to achieve the best results in the process of recovery and rehabilitation from many diseases. Naftalan has developed a range of naftalan-based products for their guests to use and continue treatment at home.
