Naftovit application (natural naftalan oil)

Local application of a product made from natural naftalan oil — year-round, under supervision.

Naftovit is a preparation made from natural naftalan oil, used as an application: spread on the area that needs it and left in place for a set time. Unlike a bath there is no immersion — the action is directed at a narrow area and no general heat load arises. That is why Naftovit is used at the sanatorium all year round, whatever the season.

How a Naftovit application is applied

The oil is spread in a thin layer on cleaned skin, the area is covered, and it stays in place for the time the physician sets. The residue is then removed. Which area, how long and how many sessions the course holds all follow from the examination, and several areas can be worked on within one course.

What natural naftalan oil does for the skin

Naftalan oil improves circulation and has a regenerative effect. The application form delivers that to a precise address:

What the application does to the area

  • Less pain and tension in the musculoskeletal system
  • Easing of rheumatic complaints and salt deposition
  • Calmer inflammation in skin conditions
  • Support for the repair of tissue
  • Action on pigmentation and fine lines in cosmetology programmes
  • No general heat load

When an application is prescribed in place of a bath

Naftovit is applied under medical supervision; where, how much and how often is settled by the examination. The application is usually not a procedure on its own but part of a course alongside naftalan baths, physiotherapy or massage. Where the skin is sensitive, the application begins on a small area.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

Naftovit is a form of application based on natural naftalan oil: the oil is spread straight onto the troubled area — a joint, the lower back, the neck — and covered. Unlike a bath, the body is not immersed here and the effect is directed only at the chosen area. That lowers the overall heat load and allows precise, local work.

Not weaker — different. A bath gives a general effect spread over a wide area, while an application concentrates the same naftalan hydrocarbons on one place. When the work is with a particular joint or with back pain, that is often the more suitable approach. Which is chosen follows from your complaint and your general condition.

Where a full bath does not suit: restrictions involving the cardiovascular system, blood pressure, sensitivity to a broad heat load. And when the complaint is concentrated in one area, there is no need to put the whole body through the procedure. The decision rests on the examination and the laboratory results on arrival.

Heat widens the vessels under the skin and helps the naftalan hydrocarbons pass into the tissue. So when the area is warmed with infrared after the application, the heat is held longer and the procedure does more. This pairing is used on prescription, where there is no restriction on heat.

The area is cleaned after the procedure; a faint tint and the smell characteristic of naftalan may stay on the skin for a while and then pass. That is normal and no cause for concern. If you see redness, itching or any unusual reaction, tell the physician the same day.

Yes. An open wound in the area, acute inflammation, a flare-up of a skin condition, a raised temperature, pregnancy and breastfeeding are all restrictions. Where it is combined with heat, cardiovascular conditions are weighed too. All of this is settled by the examination and tests on arrival.
