The curative Naftalan oil, which has no equivalent on earth due to its distinctive biological makeup, has made Naftalan resort famous across the world. The resort is situated near Naftalan town, 20 km from Ganja, Azerbaijan's second-largest city, in the area of the Naftalan oil fields. That is one of the reasons to visit Azerbaijan.

There is no substance in the world like Naftalan oil for its special healing properties. It has a number of healing effects on the human body, including anti-inflammatory, painkilling, vasodilating, and stimulating effects. Thousands of scientific works and monographs have demonstrated the naftalan's curative properties and effectiveness for treating a variety of diseases.

It's interesting that E.I. Eger, a German engineer and contractor, built the first factory for making naftalan ointment. Germany received both the industry output and the raw materials utilized in its production. There have been two naftalan stock businesses operating there since 1886 that developed naftalan-based medications: "Naftalan in Magdeburge" and "Naftalan in Drezden." The processes used to make Eger ointments were monopolized and kept secret.Today, thanks to the curative naftalan baths, resorts in Naftalan offer treatment for more than 70 diseases.
