I use the cream to relieve pain, including headaches. My parents also used the ointment for various aches and pains. I take the capsules because of intestinal problems and stomach acid, and I have noticed an improvement. The products are good, and I am satisfied with them.

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 used Smrekovit Klasik for various problems. My lower-back pain stopped after seven days, my shoulder pain improved after five days, and the burning sensation in the soles of my feet also decreased within five days. So far, I have not noticed any improvement with my heel spur. When coughing, however, the pain in my back and chest decreased.
11.2.2020 · statement no. 268I have been a long-time user of Smrekovit ointment, which I order through my sister. The ointment helps me with pain in my neck and shoulders, soreness caused by dentures, and colds, both for me and for my grandchildren. I also use it for several weeks at a time. The improvement is quick, although the pain sometimes returns because of its chronic nature, but with Smrekovit it is noticeably relieved. I wish you continued success in your work and mutually beneficial cooperation.
3.2.2020 · statement no. 267I would like to describe my experience with Smrekovit 365. Three weeks ago, I noticed that the front of my foot hurt when I wore shoes, as if the shoes were too small. I checked them, but there was nothing wrong with them. As a child, I had chilblains on the smaller toes and on one toe next to the big toe. This year, when the weather was warm, that area became inflamed, which caused the pain. I started applying Smrekovit 365, and after two days the swelling in my toes went down and the pain was gone. Thank you, thank you. <br>Whatever hurts or itches, I apply 365 and the problem goes away. I also take the capsules, and my stomach feels lighter.
on an uknown date · statement no. 266My left ear and my upper and lower jaw were painful. My doctor prescribed painkillers, but after five days there was no improvement. Then severe inflammation also developed in my left eye, which was red and very dry. After 14 days, I visited an ophthalmologist, where I received instructions for caring for inflamed eyelids and dry eyes, as well as artificial tears, but the improvement was not satisfactory. I started applying Smrekovit 365 cream to my left ear and cheek and spraying Smrekovit oral spray onto my gums at the painful spot. The condition improved and the pain subsided.
23.12.2019 · statement no. 265I apply it wherever it hurts, and I can already see an improvement. During the first two days, the capsules felt somewhat heavy in my stomach, but I no longer have that feeling. I am no longer bloated, and my digestion is better.
12.1.2019 · statement no. 264I have been using Smrekovit Klasik for 15 years. I use the ointment to relieve joint pain, especially in my shoulders and lower back. After three days of use, the pain usually subsides. Smrekovit ointment is always part of my home medicine cabinet.
5.7.2019 · statement no. 262My shoulder and the muscles above my elbow hurt. I apply it twice a day, and the condition is gradually improving. I am classified as a Category I disabled person, a paraplegic in a wheelchair, so pain in my arm is a major challenge for me because I propel the wheelchair with my arms.
on an uknown date · statement no. 261The pain in my lower back decreased noticeably while using Smrekovit 365 Ekstra. I also use Smrekovit 365 for fungal problems, and after two weeks they disappeared.
5.11.2018 · statement no. 260I have had pain for a long time that radiates from my spine into my right leg. I use your spruce-resin products, which help me a lot and ease the pain. In the evening, I make a dressing with the ointment, which works quickly and the pain settles down. Since taking Smrekovit capsules, I have also noticed an improvement in my stomach. Since I started taking them, I no longer have digestive problems.
6.11.2019 · statement no. 259After several years of moderate pain in my right arm, severe pain developed in my right arm and shoulder joint. Ultrasound and X-ray findings showed severe damage to the shoulder joint, so surgery was recommended, but it was not possible because of other health problems. I was given several types of strong painkillers, but they hardly reduced the pain. As the condition did not improve and I could not use my right arm, in February 2019 I began massaging the shoulder joint morning and evening with Smrekovit 365 Ekstra. After about 10 to 12 days, the condition gradually began to improve, and today I can use my right arm again, although with some minor limitations, so I continue to massage my shoulder regularly.<br>I have been using Smrekovit Klasik and Ekstra ointments in jars for many years. During my last cold, I also used Smrekovit oral spray, which made breathing easier and shortened the illness to about seven to eight days. I am never without Smrekovit ointments, as I use them regularly to massage my upper and lower limbs because of pain resulting from more serious spinal damage. I also use the ointment for problems in the mouth and on the skin. My sincere thanks for the help with so many problems, and I wish you continued success in your work.
23.10.2019 · statement no. 258Spruce resin has long been valued as a natural remedy for many things. Because health problems have recently made it harder for me to collect and prepare it myself, I decided to buy Smrekovit ointment, cream, and oral spray, which are natural and free from harmful additives. I use all three for different problems – from small wounds and bruises to joint and muscle pain. In the evening, I use the ointment to massage my painful knees, cover them with a dressing, and leave them wrapped overnight. In the morning, movement is noticeably easier and less painful. During the day, I use the cream because it absorbs nicely and does not make my clothes greasy. The oral spray, which I also gently rub in with a soft brush, is a real relief for inflamed gums – even the condition of a slightly loose tooth improved. In short, Smrekovit will remain my permanent choice in the future as well. I would also like to sincerely thank Mr Matic for his kind response.

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.
