I regularly use Smrekovit Ekstra cooling spruce balm — it helps a lot with inflamed wounds. I used it for an inflamed cuticle, which was painful and ugly. Antibiotic ointments didn’t help, but this balm soothed the burning right away and healed the wounds within days. When it happens again, I use it again. A wonderful, almost “miraculous” ointment — thank you sincerely. I recommend it to everyone.

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.
We use Smrekovit Klasik for cows to treat udder and teat injuries. The wounds heal faster. We also use it for other injuries on the farm animals and for our own wound healing.
on an uknown date · statement no. 148I used Smrekovit capsules for inflammation of the stomach lining. After one course, the problems disappeared. That was in spring. In early winter, the condition returned mildly, but I immediately started taking capsules again, and the stomach pain went away.
My husband has leg pain after a stroke — Smrekovit significantly improves his condition.
I have gastritis, and after a rotavirus infection, my stomach hurt a lot. After taking Smrekovit capsules for seven days, I felt better. At first, I took one capsule three times a day for a month, now just twice daily.
11.2.2018 · statement no. 146I’ve been using Smrekovit products for quite some time. I have calcification, and the ointment and cream relieve the pain that shifts from one shoulder to the other. The cream is great because it absorbs quickly and can be applied several times a day.
For digestive problems, I recommend Smrekovit capsules — after 1–2 capsules, my stool is soft, and I have no constipation. Abdominal pain is minimal. I recommend the products because they truly work.
Our family has used Smrekovit for a very long time. When we feel stomach pain or burning, we take Smrekovit before bed and in the morning. The creams in tubes are great — they absorb quickly and leave almost no residue. The oral spray is also perfect for a sore throat.
11.9.2017 · statement no. 144My lower back had been hurting for a long time. I bought Smrekovit, applied it to the painful area, covered it with a Smrekovit compress, and felt relief immediately after the first use. After several applications, the pain greatly subsided. I also used the oral spray for a sore throat — it worked well. I warmly recommend it to anyone with any kind of problem.
on an uknown date · statement no. 143I used Smrekovit to heal a stomach ulcer — without medical help. At first, I took it twice a day, now only as needed, every 10–15 days.
28.3.2019 · statement no. 142Taking it twice daily also stopped my heartburn. It’s great for bruises, falls, and wounds. I’ve been using Smrekovit for 15 years.
on an uknown date · statement no. 141I must praise the Smrekovit oral spray. This week I suddenly got a severe sore throat overnight. I immediately used the spray, even during the night, and was amazed to wake up without throat pain.
20.8.2017 · statement no. 140I’ve been using Smrekovit for over 15 years. It always helps with my problems — sprains, bruises from football, wounds, cuts, burns, sore throats, and colds. Smrekovit is a constant part of my home remedies.
9.3.2017 · statement no. 139I started using Smrekovit for pain in my left knee. The X-ray didn’t show major damage, but since August I had been limping badly. Physiotherapy and a local analgesic didn’t help. After talking with a relative, I switched to Smrekovit and still use it, as my condition has greatly improved. I apply it twice daily and plan to continue because my knee feels much better.

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.
