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.

Nataša, Šentjanž

I use Smrekovit products for chronic lower back pain (discus hernia) and neck pain. I applied it 2–3 times a day or as needed, occasionally covering the area with a back support belt after application. My condition improved in about three months — I was able to stop taking anti-rheumatic and pain medications from 1–3 times a day to only occasionally during heavy strain or long static posture. The pain still returns sometimes, but I mostly relieve it with your ointment. When I wake up at night because of pain, I just apply it and feel better within half an hour.

I have had insulin-dependent diabetes (insulin 7x a day) for 43 years and have been using Smrekovit since you started production in 1990 to improve the condition of the skin on my abdomen and legs, and to care for diabetic feet. I apply a thin layer in the morning and evening directly to the skin. It’s the best prevention. I also apply a thin layer after shaving. There’s far too much promotion of pharmaceutical products and not enough of natural Slovenian ones. There’s too little organization of traditional Slovenian healing!

By far the best and most versatile product that effectively and quickly heals even severe sun allergy rashes. Smrekovit is definitely an essential part of my home pharmacy. Thank you!

I had a fairly large wart on my foot (1.5x2 cm), which reappeared after a previous procedure. Every evening, I applied a thick layer of Smrekovit and covered it with a cotton pad, which I fixed with adhesive medical tape. After about 3–4 months, it completely disappeared. I recommend it to anyone who wants to avoid surgery and has the patience to wait for the desired result.

I have spinal canal stenosis, degeneration, and occasional inflammation of small joints in the lumbar and sacral vertebrae. The joints in this part of the spine are very deformed, pressing on nerve roots and causing severe pain from the lower back down to the toes whenever exposed to cold or vibration. There’s also cervical spine degeneration — all due to a congenital spinal deformity. I use Smrekovit products on the inflamed small joints of the lumbar and sacral vertebrae, applying them twice daily and covering with transparent foil. I also use them for pain in the neck and shoulder area. For the lower back, improvement appears within a few days, but real relief comes after a week to ten days. For neck pain, it helps after several consecutive days when muscles and ligaments relax. Thank you for transforming the gifts of nature into your products and helping us relieve our pain. I wish you much success, joy, and great results in your work.

I use Smrekovit products for knee and lower back pain caused by my job. I apply it morning and evening, and after two months of regular use, the pain disappeared. Now I apply it only occasionally when slight pain appears with weather changes or heavier work.

I’m thrilled with Smrekovit! I hit my cheek hard on an edge. It’s happened before, and I know it’s hard to avoid bruises. I applied Smrekovit spruce ointment, and the next day there was just a tiny mark.

Hello! I recommend Smrekovit to anyone with a sun allergy (in my case, itchy and burning spots). I applied Smrekovit ointment to my skin in the evening, and within 5 minutes the itching stopped. In the morning, the skin was clear — no spots, as if there had never been an allergy. Thank you, Smrekovit!

Marjeta Cesar, Pragersko

I’ve mostly used Smrekovit products for back pain, sore throat, joint pain, ear infections, and colds — basically everywhere pain appears. In all cases, the treatment was very effective. I applied it two to three times a day, and for lower back pain I wore a warm cotton shirt to keep the area warm. For a sore throat, I wrapped it with a cotton scarf and left it overnight. I often used this method on my children too — they never needed antibiotics or a doctor for tonsillitis or throat infections because the spruce resin healed everything. Smrekovit products are top quality — I’ve been using them for over 20 years. I’ve recommended them to everyone who prefers natural healing, and they’ve all adopted them as their go-to natural remedy. I always carry them in my bag — for myself and to help others. For me, they’re golden products. I’m grateful I read Mr. Ivo Konc’s article years ago: “Resin never runs dry — and neither does the work.”

We’ve been using Smrekovit from the very beginning. It’s indispensable both for people and for treating or preventing somatic cell problems in dairy cows. Not only do we save money on the vet, but the milk also remains usable since it contains no antibiotics. We notice a drop in cell count within a few days, confirmed by lab tests. We apply it on the udder — the tincture is better because it dries on the skin, while for more serious cases we combine the ointment and tincture. Since we’ve been using Smrekovit, high somatic cell counts are very rare.

Marija Arh, Škofja Loka

I used Smrekovit products for lower back pain and sciatica in my left leg. Later, I used it also for my knees, since I have joint degeneration. I applied Smrekovit once a day — in the evening after washing, rubbing it into the skin over the painful areas for six to nine days. The pain disappeared after a few days. Some mild pain in the lower back occasionally returns — if it worsens, I’ll repeat the treatment.

Brane Grošelj, Slovenska Bistrica

For more than a month, I had pain in my elbow for no apparent reason. I tried all kinds of creams, massages, soaking... Then I applied Smrekovit three times in one day and once again the next morning — 70% of the pain was gone within a day.

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.
