Naftalan oil
Naftalan is a unique grade of oil, found in Naftalan, Azerbaijan, known for its naphthalene content and healing properties.〔Dr. D. Y. Huseinov and Dr. A. I. Rustamov, (Naftalan: The Oil that Heals ), ''Azerbaijan International'', (3.4) Winter 1995, ''Accessed on December 4, 2006''〕
While Naftalan crude oil is too heavy for normal export uses (unlike Azerbaijan's plentiful Caspian Sea oil), it contains about 50 percent naphthalene, a hydrocarbon that is the active ingredient in coal tar soaps, which are used to treat psoriasis.〔Andrew E. Kramer, (Bathing in Black Gold for Health and Profit in Azerbaijan ), ''The New York Times'', December 4, 2006.〕 As such, it is only used for medicinal purposes.〔Eldar Abbasov, (Naftalan - The Miracle Oil: Azerbaijan's Therapeutic Oil ), ''Azerbaijan International'', (10.2) Summer 2002, ''Accessed on December 4, 2006''〕 People using the oil generally sit in a bath and are covered in oil up to their necks.〔 There are numerous petroleum spas in the city of Naftalan itself.〔
The naphthalene in the oil is claimed to give it therapeutic properties, however Western experts say it, and bathing in crude oil in general, might actually be carcinogenic.〔Eldar Abbasov, (Naftalan - The Miracle Oil: Azerbaijan's Therapeutic Oil ), ''Azerbaijan International'', (10.2) Summer 2002, ''Accessed on December 4, 2006''〕
