I have been using your spruce ointment for several years, and it has proved very effective for musculoskeletal pain, injuries (such as ankle sprains), and colds (sore throat and similar problems). The ointment has also helped me with the healing of skin abrasions and has been very successful for problems with haemorrhoids. Thank you for producing it. I cannot yet give an opinion on your Extra cooling spruce cream, as I have not tried it yet, but I believe it is excellent. Kind regards.

Below are experiences sent to us by users over the years who gave permission for their statements to be published. We do not select these statements according to what users wrote about Smrekovit.
These are personal experiences of individual users. A particular statement does not mean that another user will have the same experience.
I use it for pain in my cervical spine from an old injury, applying it every morning. I also apply it every morning to a complicated ankle fracture from 1990. It feels good, as mobility is better and the pain has decreased. I will continue using it.
on an uknown date · statement no. 305I have been using the product for three months because of problems with my feet (metatarsal joints). I have to say that Smrekovit cream helps me 100%, as it relieves the pain. After applying it, I can get back on my feet much more easily. The cream is also very good for purulent wounds; if we apply a little resin and leave it on for two to three days, the pus drains out and the wound then dries nicely. I wish you continued success and courage.
10.4.2017 · statement no. 304I have been using your products, especially spruce ointment, for more than ten years. I use it for various problems such as colds, constipation, insect bites, or abrasions, and also for wrinkles. I am very satisfied with your ointment and wish you continued success in your work.
11.4.2017 · statement no. 303I am in hospital after fractures and apply the product several times a day, which helps ease the pain. My mother is also much better since I brought her Smrekovit 365, which I received from you. I had burning and inflamed incision sites after surgery, but after prolonged use this disappeared completely. I hit myself hard with a brush and applied the ointment for a week, and there is no longer any sign of the wound. I continue applying it here in hospital. Greetings from the hospital.
on an uknown date · statement no. 302I used Smrekovit Klasik ointment on a wound, which dried up almost overnight. My husband applied the ointment to a boil on his leg, and within a short time (about one week) the condition was much better.
8.5.2017 · statement no. 301After therapy, applying Extra cream, and using the Smrekovit method, my condition is incomparably better, which is also reflected in my overall well-being. The pain in my lower back, neck, and arms has decreased. (Attached diagnoses: lumbago, epicondylitis, gout, spinal canal stenosis).
10.10.2017 · statement no. 300The pain has decreased slightly. I used the ointment and Smrekovit 365 spruce cream and applied compresses to the painful area. The condition improved a little within a month, and I hope it will resolve. Thank you for your kind heart and for helping me. It is truly nice to see that there are still people in the world who care about older people. Thank you, and please let me know if you can help me in any other way.
10.10.2017 · statement no. 299I have been using Smrekovit cream for almost a year for pain in my shoulders, arm, spine, lower back, and legs. My problems originate from my spine, and after a long illness the pain returns, but Smrekovit cream and ointment help me greatly, as I have less pain and can walk more easily. At night, the pain is sometimes unbearable; when I get up, I have to apply the cream and move around, and only then does the pain lessen enough for me to be able to walk at all. I cannot function without the cream, as exertion brings the problems back again, but the cream is a great help and makes the pain easier to bear.
13.10.2017 · statement no. 298After shoulder surgery, I started using your ointment because my shoulder was very painful. The muscles in my arm relaxed and the pain is less severe. I still use the ointment regularly, as well as Smrekovit 365 spruce cream. I wish you much success in your future work. Thank you; your former colleague recommended your ointment to me.
20.12.2017 · statement no. 297I used Smrekovit for a stomach ulcer, which healed after using it. I have been using the products for five years, and they help with fungal problems, burning gums, hard skin on the heels, and colds. I also apply it to my chest, and we do not need a doctor at all.
17.6.2016 · statement no. 296I have been massaging with the ointment for some time now, and I have to say that I feel good after using it, as the pain has eased considerably.

Documented cases from practice
Some experiences are documented in greater detail. In addition to the user's account, we collect available information about the course of the case, supporting documentation and the circumstances of use, while also clearly stating the limitations of the case.
A documented case contains more verifiable information than a regular user review, but an individual case does not by itself prove that Smrekovit caused the reported outcome.

How our archive of experiences is created
Experiences come from users
Most statements were submitted in writing, by email or through a feedback form. Google reviews are displayed separately, directly from their public source.
We publish them with permission
Our public archive contains statements from users who permitted their publication. We do not select them according to how positively the user described their experience.
Originals are kept in our archive
Written statements are stored together with their date and archive reference number. Translations preserve the meaning of the original statement, while personal information not intended for publication is not displayed.
A personal user experience is not the same as a documented case, and a documented case is not, by itself, clinical evidence.
Share your experience with us
If you have used Smrekovit, you are welcome to send us your experience. It can be a short impression or a more detailed description of how you used it.
A submitted statement is not published automatically. We include it in the public archive only with your permission.
Frequently asked questions about user experiences
Are the published reviews genuine?
Yes. These are statements that we actually received from users. Written experiences are kept together with an archive reference number and, where known, the date they were received. Google reviews are displayed separately from their public source.
Why are some reviews not signed with a full name?
The amount of personal information displayed depends on the user's permission. Some statements therefore include a full name, while others show only a first name, location or another limited form of identification.
Do you publish every review you receive?
Not automatically. The public archive contains statements from users who have permitted their public publication. We do not select statements according to whether the user describes Smrekovit positively or negatively.
Do you alter the wording of user statements?
We do not alter the substantive meaning of a statement. In older statements, we also preserve the terminology and product names used by the user at the time. Translations preserve the meaning of the original statement.
Why do you also show older reviews?
Because this page also serves as an archive of experiences collected over the years. Where known, the date is shown with the statement so that older experiences can be understood in their historical context.
What is the difference between a review and a documented case?
A review is a user's personal statement. A documented case includes additional information about the course of the case, available documentation, circumstances of use and the limitations of the case. Neither an individual review nor a documented case proves causation by itself.
