While skiing, my knee became swollen. At home, I applied the cream in the morning and evening, covered the knee with a cloth, and secured it with an elastic mesh. I used Smrekovit 365 Ekstra and Smrekovit Ekstra.
I also treated my toenails with Smrekovit 365. I still use it occasionally as soon as I notice any change on a nail.
I soften and improve flaky, dry skin on my shins by applying Smrekovit 365 in the morning or evening.

I am very satisfied with our Smrekovit Klasik ointment. I use it for burns and wounds, especially for the care of cows’ udders, as well as for teat injuries and abrasions.
However, the packaging bothers me: the glass jar is too narrow, especially in the larger size. The jar should be wider so that the ointment can be taken out by hand more easily, including what remains at the very bottom.
To relieve severe problems with a painful wrist – carpal tunnel syndrome – I used Smrekovit 365 cream for about two months. Every day, I applied a compress between my shoulder blades and several times a day applied the cream along the entire length of my arm, especially around the inner side of the elbow (golfer’s elbow), which was very painful, essentially the whole affected area.
After two months, I stopped using the compress due to skin irritation caused by the fixation mesh. My condition was much improved: greater mobility, less pain, and reduced tingling. I continued with the therapy.
Now I apply the cream only to the painful area on my arm. It is also true that I constantly perform exercises – I had already been doing these even before starting therapy with Smrekovit cream.
I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful product, a gift from God’s pharmacy.
Smrekovit spray helps me with tired vocal cords. The unpleasant painful sensation started to fade after three to five days of using the spray, and then I was able to speak normally again.
It also helps me when I feel a cold coming on and experience a scratching sensation in my throat. Sometimes it helps within one day, sometimes within two.
Smrekovit Klasik helped me a lot with hemorrhoids. The burning sensation is gone, which is the most important thing for me.
Smrekovit 365 also helped me with nail fungus. It took about half a year before the problem was resolved.
I recommend it to anyone who has similar issues. It really works!
I use Smrekovit 365 for my spine, and it helps me to some extent.
on an uknown date · statement no. 180Your ointment works wonders! Even wounds that people believed would never heal begin to improve. Pressure sores show improvement within just a few days. Compared to Smrekovit, all pharmacy dressings simply fall short.
In Kyiv, we also successfully care for the wounds of homeless people. May God grant you many more years!
I use Smrekovit 365 spruce cream to relieve sciatica-related problems in both the left and right hip. I had stabbing pain that spread from the hips down the back of both legs to the knees.
I also use a Smrekovit compress, which I apply together with the cream. I use the compress day and night, and during the day I apply the cream 2 to 3 times.
My condition is improving significantly – after three weeks, I feel only very mild pain in the left hip and along the left leg, while the right side is already fine.
Several times a year I get ear inflammation. Last time my ear felt blocked again, but it didn’t hurt yet, so I used Smrekovit Klasik. I applied it for a week, and my ear didn’t become inflamed the way it usually does.
21.11.2022 · statement no. 177I had already known about the “miracles” of spruce ointment. My mom always kept a spruce cream at home and used it for various issues. I’ve always liked the scent of spruce cream. I have very dry and sensitive skin, especially in winter, so I was looking for a spruce cream in a tube that wouldn’t be too greasy and would absorb well.
I searched online and found the Smrekovit website. I already had the cream in my cart to buy it online when my mom told me there’s a Smrekomat not far from where I live, where you can buy it. Since it was Sunday, that was really convenient, so I bought Smrekovit 365 and I was thrilled. The cream spreads nicely, absorbs well, and leaves a pleasant layer on the skin. I especially like the scent.
Now I always keep it in my backpack wherever I go. I also really like the Smrekomat idea. Along with the cream, you also get a brochure with all the information, so you don’t have to look everything up online. I definitely recommend it!
I have been using Smrekovit Klasik for 30 years. When I have a sore throat or a cold, I regularly apply it to my neck and chest, wrap it with a cotton cloth, and leave it on overnight. By the next day, I can already feel an improvement: my throat hurts less and mucus is much easier to cough up. I also use it for dry, cracked skin on the soles of my feet—every evening for a week, then I put on socks, and the skin becomes soft and no longer cracked.
Smrekovit capsules help me with heartburn and stomach pain. At first we take them twice a day, and after one month we take them once a day as a preventive measure.
The oral spray helps with mouth ulcers (aphthae) and irritation caused by wearing dentures; I use it preventively every day.
I use the spruce ointment for sinus inflammation that I get every winter, ever since it was still made by your father, Ivo Konc. When I had an arm fracture, I applied it to the area and it helped me a lot. It also helped my husband with sciatica. It helps with many other issues as well.

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.
