Naftalan Special Hospital

Global leader in natural healing

Welcome to the special hospital for medical rehabilitation in Ivanić Grad. Unique natural treatment with naphthalene and salty thermal water in the heart of Croatia

Why naphthalene?

The Naftalan Special Hospital in Ivanić Grad is a unique health tourism destination precisely because of the use of salt thermal water and medicinal oil – naphthalene. The naphthalene deposit is the only one of its kind in Europe, and the second recorded in the world. Since 1989, we have been successfully implementing treatments that are unavailable anywhere else in this form.

Natural treatment

Naftalan is a natural mineral oil obtained by distillation of naphthenic oil and is considered a natural healing agent. It contains steranes – compounds similar to steroid hormones and provitamin D – which give it exceptional anti-inflammatory and desensitizing effects.

Health from the ancient Pannonian Sea

The deposit of medicinal oil, naphthalan, is the only one of its kind in Europe, and only the second recorded in the world, which makes the Naftalan Special Hospital and the entire region a health phenomenon on a global scale.

This modern health care center is unobtrusively integrated into nature, at the very springs of medicinal thermal water, surrounded by a centuries-old park.
