Peripheral vascular diseases
Endarteritis, Raynaud's syndrome and chronic venous insufficiency
Naphthalan baths at moderate temperature improve peripheral circulation, ease vasospasm and reduce trophic disturbances in chronic vascular disease.
Patients with obliterating endarteritis, chronic thrombophlebitis (outside acute phase), Raynaud's syndrome and early chronic venous insufficiency benefit from contrast baths, lymphatic drainage massage, pneumopressotherapy and electrophoresis with vasodilators. Naphthenic compounds gently stimulate microcirculation and capillary network. Bath temperature is carefully lowered (36–37 °C) to avoid vascular overload, and protocols are individually titrated by a vascular physician.
Conditions treated
- ◆Obliterating endarteritis
- ◆Chronic thrombophlebitis (no acute thrombus)
- ◆Raynaud's syndrome

About vascular treatment at Naftalan
Which vascular diseases are treated at Naftalan?+
Obliterating endarteritis, chronic thrombophlebitis (outside acute phase), Raynaud's syndrome and early chronic venous insufficiency.
Is Naftalan safe for patients with vascular disease?+
Yes, with adapted protocols. Bath temperature is lowered to 36–37 °C to avoid vascular overload, and every patient is screened by a vascular physician before treatment begins.
What if I have an active blood clot?+
Acute thrombophlebitis or active deep-vein thrombosis is an absolute contraindication. Treatment can be considered once the acute phase has fully resolved and anticoagulation is stable.
Can Naftalan help with cold hands and Raynaud's attacks?+
Yes. Contrast baths, vascular magnetotherapy and naphthalan applications consistently reduce vasospasm frequency and severity in stable Raynaud's syndrome.
How long do vascular improvements last?+
Typically 6–9 months. Patients with chronic venous insufficiency or endarteritis often plan a yearly cure to maintain microcirculation gains.
