I use Smrekovit for worn knee joints and spine — consequences of top-level sports 50 years ago. I apply it to those areas after workouts, three times a week, twice a day. After three months of use, the joint pain eased enough that I can go back to the gym and practice yoga again. It also helped with a torn tendon and recovery after inguinal hernia surgery.

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 burned my throat (esophagus) with hot potato. I healed it in two days using Smrekovit. The burn disappeared completely in two days. I also healed pain in my palm and wrist by massaging with Smrekovit. By morning, the pain was completely gone.
24.12.2014 · statement no. 39I use Smrekovit for joint pain and various inflammations, but mostly for my grandchildren — for coughs, ear infections, etc. I’ll never forget when my 5-year-old granddaughter woke me up at night because her ear hurt. Following your instructions, I applied it behind her ear, and the next day she was already swimming in the pool.
11.12.2014 · statement no. 38My son often gets bronchitis and coughs, usually lasting a week or more. After another sleepless night because of coughing and vomiting, I tried Smrekovit. I applied a thick layer on a compress and put it on his back, securing it with a tight shirt. I repeated it early in the morning, and the cough almost completely disappeared overnight. The next day, he coughed only a few times throughout the day (before it was 5–6 times per minute). Even the doctor said his lungs were clearer. I would recommend Smrekovit to anyone with cough problems. We solved the issue perfectly, and the apartment smells great too. Thanks also to Mr. Matic, who explained everything in detail, recommended the products, and shipped them quickly.
11.2.2019 · statement no. 37I used Smrekovit for sore throat and ear pain. I applied it several times a day on my neck, over lymph nodes, up to the ears, under my nose, and on the chest to help breathing. After two days, pus started to come out, and it kept cleaning for another five days. I also used it for muscle pain for a few days, until the pain disappeared. Smrekovit is our first aid — always at hand, always with us.
22.4.2015 · statement no. 36We used Smrekovit on my nephew for warts on his face and hands. He was 10 years old. We had them frozen three times, but it didn’t help. Around 1995, we started using your Smrekovit on the warts whenever we remembered. Within four months, they disappeared completely and never came back. We also use Smrekovit spruce ointment against colds, applying it to the chest and under the nose. Thanks to your product — we’ve been using it for 20 years and hope to continue. Wishing you much success with your products.
21.4.2015 · statement no. 35I applied Smrekovit three times a day to my aching leg joints. After three weeks of regular use and massaging with the ointment, I felt much better, and walking is now easier and more relaxed. The rating for the ointment and service is top — 10 out of 10. Keep up the good work.
31.3.2015 · statement no. 34We’ve been using Smrekovit in our home for over 15 years, mostly for skin injuries like cuts or bruises. It also works great for ankle sprains and similar issues. Such injuries heal completely without complications. It’s also great for colds or runny noses. This is our family ointment. We haven’t tried your other products yet.
on an uknown date · statement no. 33With Smrekovit, I prevented bronchitis, and for ear infections, we didn’t need antibiotics. I applied it to my daughter’s back, chest, behind her ears, and neck. We applied it 3–4 times a day, and her condition improved within four days; after seven days, she was fine. The illness appeared again but much milder. I have to say this resin is amazing, and I know many people who use your product for different problems.
on an uknown date · statement no. 32I use Smrekovit twice a day to relieve pain in my spine and hips. I always apply it before doing garden work. When my daughter had sciatica, she used the ointment, and after three days she felt better, and it didn’t come back.
on an uknown date · statement no. 31I used Smrekovit for wounds, hemorrhoids, and stomach issues. I applied it as needed, and every time I felt relief immediately.
15.3.2015 · statement no. 30I used Smrekovit for a wart on my back that started changing in size. I applied it 2–3 times a day. After about a month, it fell off and the skin healed nicely. It soothes psoriasis when I use the cream daily. I personally have been diagnosed with incurable rosacea on my face. I apply Smrekovit, and my condition has improved so much that my face and nose are no longer red.

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.
