Written experiences from users

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.

Maksimiljan Robič, Sp.Duplek

I use Smrekovit on my knees and now also on my shoulders because of pain. The product is fantastic. The pain in my shoulders is decreasing, and I believe everything will be fine.

I’ve been using Smrekovit for several years. The products are great. I apply it to my shoulders and back. It’s practically good for everything. I also used it for foot fungus—it took longer, but it worked. I’ve tried many other creams that didn’t help.

I used Smrekovit for nail fungus, warts on my neck, sore throat, laryngitis, neck pain, thumb joint pain, and dry skin on my hands and legs. The condition improved and normalized.

Angelca, Črnomelj

I’ve been ordering your products for years and have solved many problems. Five years ago I felt pain in my knee, then swelling, so I could barely walk up the stairs. I went to doctors and specialists but found no relief. Then I started using Smrekovit two to three times daily, with a compress and bandage. After a few days I felt tingling, then small scabs appeared, and both pain and swelling disappeared. The pain hasn’t returned in five years. I did the same when I felt pain in my breast—applied it overnight, wrapped it, and again small scabs appeared and disappeared with the pain. Whenever I go on vacation, I always take Smrekovit with me. Nothing works better against mosquito bites.

Sonja, Kamnik

I’ve been using spruce ointment for a long time. I use it periodically when my knees or shoulders hurt. Now my ankles are swollen, so I’ll use it again. Your product is excellent, and I can’t be without it.

Andreja, Ljubljana

I’ve known your Smrekovit ointment since before it was sold in stores. Mr. Matjaž from Naklo brought it to our home when he was a curate in Trnovo. Later I went to Kodeljevo in Ljubljana to get more. My mother first used it for back pain, then for constipation, and successfully relieved tooth and gum issues. I personally had positive results with vaginal inflammation, itchy bites, and now I’m treating fungus on my big toe. Improvement was clearly visible within a month. Last December I had a strong viral infection with ear inflammation. I applied the ointment on my neck toward the ear and nose. I was amazed at how well it cleared my sinuses. During the last cold, I even ingested a bit, and I believe that contributed to cleansing. Mouth ulcers and inflammation at the corners of my lips also healed quickly.

Klementina Štempihar, Visoko

Because of my work in production I developed severe back pain. My doctor sent me to an orthopedist and for an MRI. The scan showed nothing, so I kept taking painkillers that ruined my stomach. I then got medication for my stomach that didn’t help either. My back is now stable thanks to your father, Ivo Konc. I also used Smrekovit spruce cream, which is fantastic because it absorbs quickly. When I started taking the capsules, I no longer had stomach problems. I’m overjoyed that the capsules helped me. I take them regularly and they’re the only real remedy for the stomach.

Ana, Dolenjske Toplice

Over a year ago I hit my breastbone hard. It hurt a lot. The doctor gave me painkillers, which helped the pain but hurt my stomach. A friend gave me Smrekovit, and it helped immediately. The pain subsided. When I overworked myself in autumn, it came back. Now that I have your product, I apply it three to four times a day and the pain eases. I’ve also had sciatica in my right leg for three weeks. The pain was unbearable. I started applying Smrekovit on my leg, and it helped a lot. Now I can walk and sleep normally again.

Franc, Postojna

While descending from a six-hour mountain hike, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my knee. The descent was very painful. My knee swelled and became hot. In the following days, I could barely walk or climb stairs. I started applying Smrekovit in the evening and wrapped it with a bandage. After three weeks it started improving, and after three months my knee was fine. It’s been over three years now, and I even walked the Portuguese Camino.

Marija, Kamnik

When I suffered from severe back pain (stenosis) and was considering surgery, I tried stretching therapy and Smrekovit products. After therapy, the pain in my back decreased significantly, and six months of using Smrekovit completely removed it. The hip pain caused by spinal issues and posture also disappeared. Since then, I always carry Smrekovit as first aid. A thick layer quickly removed swelling after a sprain and worked great for various skin rashes.

Marija, Kranj

I learned about the ointment from a former colleague from Hrastnik who regularly used the Ekstra ointment for sciatica. After three years she didn’t need it anymore. I tried it myself for a wrist sprain and solved the problem with a compress. It helps open airways, relieves muscle pain after hard work, helps my husband with shoulder pain after surgery, permanently removed shingles that used to return whenever immunity dropped, and helps with back pain and arthritis.

Silvana, Branik

I’ve had sciatica in my left leg and lower back for over twenty years. Surgery is not possible. Weather changes cause severe pain. During those times I massage all affected areas with Smrekovit, wrap them warmly, and the pain subsides. I’m happy with the products because they relieve my pain.

Izjemni izdelki. Vesela sem priložnosti, da preizkusim vaše kreme. Predstavljajo eno boljših in predvsem izjemno učinkovitih rešitev, s katerimi sem se doslej srečala na področju naravne podpore kože. Hitri pozitivni učinki – pri celjenju ran, lajšanju bolečin, odpravljanju kožnih nepravilnosti ter splošnem občutku regeneracije in udobja. Prepričana sem, da njihova moč sega še dlje, zato se veselim nadaljnjega preizkušanja in verjamem, da bom lahko v prihodnje delila še več osebno potrjenih vtisov. S spoštovanjem, Tjaša

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.
