“Crutches Museum” in Naftalan – real proof of the effectiveness of Naftalan oil treatment

Naftalan is the only place in the world where Naftalan oil is used to treat joints, spine conditions, and skin diseases. It is not just a natural resource, but a full medical therapy used for centuries. Today, people from all over the world choose treatment in Naftalan, and one of the strongest proofs of its effectiveness is the so-called “Crutches Museum”.

This unique place has become a symbol of the city and clearly demonstrates that Naftalan oil therapy truly works.

What is the Crutches Museum and why it matters

The Crutches Museum in Naftalan is a place where crutches left behind by patients after treatment are collected. People arrive with musculoskeletal issues — arthrosis, arthritis, back pain, post-injury conditions — and leave without needing support.

They intentionally leave their crutches as proof that treatment in Naftalan has delivered results. Over time, so many such cases appeared that this “museum” was formed by the patients themselves.

This is not marketing. These are real recovery stories that build trust in Naftalan therapy.

Naftalan oil – a unique treatment with no analogues

Naftalan oil differs from conventional oil because it contains no gasoline fractions and is not used as fuel. Its main purpose is medical treatment.

It is used for:
joint treatment (arthrosis, arthritis, rheumatism)
spine and back pain treatment
skin diseases (psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema)
post-trauma rehabilitation

These properties make Naftalan sanatorium treatment especially effective for chronic conditions.

History of Naftalan treatment development

The healing properties of Naftalan oil have been known since ancient times. Industrial development began in the 19th century when engineer Эгер Э. И. drilled the first well about 250 meters deep.

Initially aiming for fuel extraction, he soon discovered the oil does not burn. Instead, he noticed the flow of people coming for treatment and started producing medicinal ointment. “Eger ointment” gained global recognition and was even used during the Русско-японская война.

Since then, Naftalan has developed into a medical tourism center.
