About Therapeutic Naftalan Oil

The Naftalan therapeutic oil field is the only oil field in the world with healing properties. In 1887, a German engineer named Yeger began to produce Naftalan ointment in Germany. During the Russo-Japanese War, Japanese soldiers had small containers of naphthalene ointment in their bags. There was a short but very encouraging inscription on the jars: "Whoever has this ointment, let him not be afraid of any sores."
