Every course begins with a consultation — the procedures are chosen from your own results, not taken off a shelf. On the first day after arrival a physician examines you and blood work is done; the programme is written once those results are in hand.
What happens on arrival:
- Physician's examination: your complaints, medical history and any medication you take
- A full blood count across eighteen parameters
- Biochemistry, to assess the body's general condition
- Blood pressure, pulse, and further checks where they are needed
The reason for the tests is straightforward: a naftalan bath, physiotherapy and the other procedures act on the body, so a physician needs to see your numbers before a course starts. Those numbers decide which procedures, at what temperature, for how long, and how many times. In some cases a particular procedure is not prescribed at all — and that only becomes clear from the results.
Your condition is re-checked as the course runs. The programme is not written once and left alone: when the readings change, the procedures are adjusted with them. At the end of the course a physician carries out a final examination and explains what is worth continuing at home.
Consultations take place in the hotel's own treatment wing, with our medical staff. If you live with a chronic condition or take medication regularly, bringing your recent test results and prescription list makes the course easier to plan accurately.
Procedures in this service
Before a naftalan course or a wellness programme begins, blood and biochemistry work matters for assessing the body's general condition.
A full blood count across eighteen parameters, together with biochemistry, gives a broad picture of what is happening in the body. Those results let a physician judge the situation more precisely and choose procedures on an individual basis — which keeps the course safer and better monitored.
Ozone therapy applies medical ozone — a mixture of oxygen and ozone — to the body in several ways, for treatment and prevention.
The procedure increases the oxygen supply to cells, strengthens immunity and supports general health. Given only on a physician's prescription.
Indications
- General detox and rejuvenation programmes
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Skin conditions and cosmetic renewal

Acupuncture is a treatment worked by inserting fine, sterile metal needles into specific active points of the body. This method of Chinese medicine stimulates the nervous system and activates the body's own repair mechanism and the release of its natural painkilling hormones.
Sterile needles are inserted to a set depth; the physician may turn them gently to strengthen the effect. Nerve endings and tissue are stimulated and circulation improves.
Indications
- Headache and migraine
- Pain in the lower back, neck and joints
- Neuritis and neurosis
- Sleep disturbance and depression
- Knee and shoulder pain
- Muscle spasm
- Some chronic pain syndromes
Hijama is an old traditional treatment in which vacuum cups are placed on the skin and a small amount of blood is drawn off, to clear toxins and unwanted substances from the body.

Indications
- Tension across the back and between the shoulders
- Pain in the head and nape
- Complaints in the lower back and around the spine

An ENT turunda is a procedure in which a sterile tampon soaked in a medicated solution or preparation is placed into the nasal or ear cavity.
It helps moisten the mucous membrane, reduce inflammation and swelling, and strengthen the effect of local treatment. Applied during a naftalan course, it supports the recovery of the ENT organs and contributes to the course overall.
Indications
- Nasal congestion
- Rhinitis and sinusitis
- Pharyngitis
- Other ENT conditions
Bio-massage is a modern physiotherapy procedure worked through a special device and gloves that act on the body's energy pathways and points. The method combines the old rules of eastern medicine with electrical impulses.
It balances the body's energy, helps reduce muscle tension and stimulates recovery. Blood and lymph circulation improve and the body's general tone rises.
Indications
- Muscle tension and spasm
- Pain around the spine and joints
- Stress and nervous tension
