I used Smrekovit Klasik for a heel spur. Every day I applied it and made Smrekovit compresses for several months. I have now had peace from the heel spur for several years, and I also felt relief in my knee. My partner and I both use Smrekovit Klasik for all kinds of everyday issues: cuts, sore throat, inflamed sinuses, lower back pain for both of us, and for my partner also for a shoulder and cervical vertebra injury after falling from a tree, where the pain was very severe. I am very happy that this ointment exists, as I have been using it since the very beginning of your work.

I am very satisfied with Smrekovit products, as the effect comes quickly. When my knee had been hurting for several weeks and I started applying it, the pain disappeared within two days. I could hardly believe that something like that was even possible. I also take the tablets and hope they will help me as well. When my throat hurts, I use the oral spray, mostly as a preventive measure.
I regularly use your Klasik and Ekstra products, mainly for foot care due to sports such as running and cycling. At the beginning of August, I traveled across Slovenia by bicycle and on foot for about 900 km and completed around 12,000 meters of elevation gain. Every evening and every morning, I applied the ointment to my muscles and joints, including my buttocks. I completed the journey without blisters, abrasions, or other injuries. My route took me from Prekmurje to Koper, from Ljubljana to Mojstrana, across Triglav, Vršič, Bovec, Nova Gorica, and to Ankaran. An excellent product for massage and for preventing inflammation and chafing. Thank you.
I use your products for fungal infections on my toenails and for warts on my feet. The condition is improving, but very slowly. Cream 365 also helps me greatly with back massage. However, the tingling in my hands has not yet disappeared.
I first used Smrekovit cream (spruce resin ointment Klasik) in 2007, when I had knee problems and had undergone five surgeries. After the last surgery in 2007, I was sent to the Laško spa for rehabilitation. After two days of therapy, my knee became inflamed again—it was reddish and severely swollen, and I could not sleep. That is when I met a gentleman who told me he had undergone spinal surgery, gave me spruce resin ointment, and advised me to apply it to my knee. Already the next day, the wound opened, but no large amount of pus came out. The knee began to calm down, the wound closed after three days, and I was able to continue therapy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I am 70 years old. Four years ago, I underwent a major abdominal surgery. Due to the doctor’s negligence and superficial approach, a severe complication occurred. Fortunately, it was determined that another surgery was not necessary, but the situation was very serious and I endured intense pain. I took Smrekovit capsules twice a day. Because of my own negligence, I initially did not take them regularly enough. I applied the ointment to my abdomen, and after 14 days I felt relief—the pain became milder and less frequent. After using the capsules, my condition improved so much that I can now tolerate almost all foods. I also found you through a television program.
I started using your spruce resin ointment more than 25 years ago, first on my two small children. When they had a cough, I applied it to their chest and back; when they had a runny nose, I applied it under the nose; if their ear hurt, I applied it around the ear on the outside. It always helped, and we rarely had to see a doctor. Years later, I discovered that it also helps a lot with hemorrhoids. This year I had COVID and applied it to my chest and back the entire time because I had a severe cough. Two months after recovery, my lungs were X-rayed and they said everything was fine. I am convinced that the spruce ointment helped me avoid hospitalization. I am still applying it until the cough completely disappears. I also purchased the cooling-effect cream for my husband, who often has back and leg pain. Your creams are wonderful. Warm greetings to you all.
I have been using your products for two years and am very grateful for them. I am very satisfied and also recommend them to many friends. I use Smrekovit Klasik and Smrekovit 365 for fungal infections, and thanks to this, my finger is healthy again.
Without your products, it would have been unbearable. I had bladder surgery, and nothing helped me except Smrekovit, which I used every time I went to the toilet. I could not walk up stairs, but after applying the cream several times a day, my condition improved significantly. The capsules also help me greatly with inflammation of the stomach lining. I would also like to add that they are excellent for easier bowel movements.
I used Smrekovit 365 for herpes when it was already breaking out. I applied it around the affected area, and a kind of film formed that peeled off, while the condition healed quickly, similar to my experience with atopic dermatitis. I used it twice a day, morning and evening. For cracked skin around a fingernail, I applied it in the evening and covered it with micropore tape once or twice, and it healed. For a damaged nail (injury from yoga), I applied it morning and evening for a whole year until it recovered. I use Smrekovit Klasik for colds by applying it inside my nostrils, and once a day I take a pea-sized amount orally, before bedtime and during the day, which eases breathing and reduces the burning sensation in my throat. I also use it for minor scratches and insect bites on my grandchildren—we apply it, and it helps. For muscle pain, I apply it in the evening, and in the morning there are fewer problems. I use Smrekovit 365 Ekstra for knee pain—either by applying it directly or making compresses with the ointment.
Smrekovit is truly a top product. I have been using it for about 10 years. I first encountered spruce resin when a colleague’s father received real resin in a small jar, which very quickly drew out a subcutaneous pimple or atheroma. When we used it up, we started looking for a spruce resin ointment. That’s how we found you, and ever since, we have been loyal customers, recommending the cream and ointment to others. It helps heal all kinds of wounds and skin problems, pimples, abscesses, and ingrown hairs. After a mosquito bite, the itching disappears immediately after application. I also recommended Smrekovit to my colleagues at work, and we have placed several group orders together. I am happy that Smrekovit exists.
Smrekovit helps me a great deal, and I am genuinely grateful for it, as it relieves my pain and helps me successfully manage my problems whenever they arise. Smrekovit oral spray is excellent for my lungs, throat, and oral cavity. I regularly use Smrekovit Klasik internally and also for massage. I have also tried Smrekovit capsules several times, and they always calm my stomach.

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.
