As a 20-year Smrekovit user, I wanted to share another case where Smrekovit truly worked. A few weeks ago, my brother burned himself on an exhaust pipe. The burn was about 10x5 cm. We immediately applied a compress with spruce ointment, which he replaced regularly for the first few days. Later, he stopped using compresses so the burn could air out and continued applying a thick layer of ointment several times a day until the blister completely disappeared. After a few weeks, I checked the spot — there wasn’t even a scar! Smrekovit is definitely an essential item in my home first-aid kit!

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.
I use Smrekovit products for pain in my shoulder and knee, and for fungal infections on my feet. The fungus disappeared completely, the shoulder and knee pain decreased, and my condition began improving after one month — since then, it’s only gotten better. I applied it twice a day. I’m very satisfied. I wish you many more years of successful work — you’re the best around.
on an uknown date · statement no. 51I’ve known Smrekovit for many years. Already during my sports career, the products helped me relieve injury-related pain. Matic’s father, Ivo, with his persistence and dedication to nature, created an effective and simple cream. Matic has improved these products with his knowledge and made them even more pleasant to use.
junij 2023 · statement no. 50I’ve been using Smrekovit for more than 10 years. We can’t live without it. We use it for everything — dry skin, pain, anything. When my knee hurts, I apply a thick layer of the ointment on gauze, wrap it with a bandage, leave it overnight, and it works wonders. I repeat this for a few days, and the pain disappears.
on an uknown date · statement no. 49A completely natural ointment for health from head to toe, especially for my skier’s toes (calluses) on my feet. Thank you, Smrekovit, for your magic!
on an uknown date · statement no. 48As with every sport, telemark skiing comes with its share of injuries. I use Smrekovit products for every injury, as their natural composition helps wounds heal faster and more naturally — whether it’s a sprain, bruise, inflammation, or sore throat, I always reach for them. They say there’s a plant for every ailment — for me, the spruce is enough. The ointment is excellent; thank God for it!
27.8.2007 · statement no. 47I’m thrilled with Smrekovit Ekstra! Some time ago, I received it as a gift. On Thursday, I badly twisted my ankle rushing to kindergarten and work. By Friday, it was swollen, and I couldn’t walk — right before a busy weekend as a tour guide. By Saturday afternoon, the swelling had miraculously disappeared, and by Sunday it was as if nothing had happened. I treated it exclusively with Smrekovit three times a day, and resting wasn’t even an option with a toddler and work. THANK YOU!!!
on an uknown date · statement no. 46I often get herpes. I’ve now tried Smrekovit twice, and after three days there was only a trace left! Smrekovit is amazing!
on an uknown date · statement no. 45Smrekovit products have truly helped me with injuries that refused to heal. They also help with fatigue by improving blood circulation in the muscles, speeding up recovery. I always carry a jar of the ointment with me during training. They’re great!
27.8.2007 · statement no. 44I started using Smrekovit when I was younger, back when I raced for Sava Kranj cycling club. Since I cycle about 35,000 km per year, and injuries are quite frequent with that kind of workload, I must admit that since I’ve been using Smrekovit products, I haven’t had any long-term absences from training due to injuries.
31.8.2007 · statement no. 43I’ve been using Smrekovit since 1990. Now, as a coach for Nordic Combined at the Ski Association of Slovenia, I recommend it to our top athletes in this discipline. It works perfectly as a regeneration aid the day before the competition and as a local warming cream on the day of the race, especially for the legs, which are under the greatest strain in cross-country skiing. Even the newly crowned junior world champion MARJAN JELENKO in Nordic Combined uses the ointment before every competition. Without it, the legs quickly become heavy and burning.
on an uknown date · statement no. 42I’ve known and used Smrekovit for many years. I can call it a miraculous ointment. This stuff really works and is extremely useful. When I sprained my ankle, the new cream (Ekstra) proved to be even more effective and helped me recover faster.

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.
