I had a severe fungal infection across my feet, between my toes, and all the way to the nails. I applied the product to the affected areas morning and evening, and within ten to fourteen days the fungal infection on the skin disappeared completely, while some still remains on the nails.

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 have been using Smrekovit Klasik for many years, and at home we can no longer imagine life without it. Now even my grandson asks for spruce resin ointment himself if something happens to him. The ointment helped me most when caring for my immobile mother-in-law; despite lying down for long periods, she did not develop any pressure sores with daily application. The ointment also always successfully and quickly healed any minor injuries and wounds. Matic Konc, keep up the good work!
10.6.2019 · statement no. 365We have had excellent experiences with your product. With purulent burns, applying it twice a day caused the wound to close and begin healing after just three days. Applying it to the joints of the hands successfully relieved the pain. The cooling ointment really provides strong pain relief, and we use it regularly.
on an uknown date · statement no. 364Your ointment has greatly relieved the pain in the joints of my feet and hands, as I have unspecified polyarthritis. It also helps very well with lower-back pain after heavy work, insect bites, impacts, small wounds, and sprains. These are my personal experiences, and the product truly helps.
on an uknown date · statement no. 363I use Smrekovit Ekstra on my legs. As a diabetic and heart patient, my legs swell around and above the ankles. Since I started applying this ointment to my legs every day, the swelling disappears and I no longer feel pain. The colour of the skin on my legs has also improved and now looks much better.
8.5.2019 · statement no. 362Thanks to Ivo Konc, who adjusted my hip, and to spruce resin ointment, I now feel very well and probably will not need surgery at all. I continue to use Smrekovit Klasik ointment regularly, and it helps me greatly.
21.3.2019 · statement no. 361My husband and I have been using spruce resin ointment for several years, both preventively and for minor pain. Within one month, it successfully removed a small wart on my toe. It also helps very quickly with bruises and minor impacts when climbing. We also use it with excellent results for injuries and eczema in our dog.
on an uknown date · statement no. 360Because of repetitive movements at work, I suddenly developed shoulder pain that spread down my arm to the elbow. Despite exercise and using various ointments and painkillers, the pain did not stop. After a few days of applying Smrekovit Klasik ointment, however, I immediately began to feel an improvement; the pain is decreasing day by day and I can move my arm freely again. Because I occasionally also experience pain in other parts of my body, I will continue using the product preventively and regularly.
6.2.2019 · statement no. 359I have been using Smrekovit for quite some time, especially for pain of rheumatic origin. The ointment eases the pain considerably, so that at least at night I can rest peacefully.
25.2.2019 · statement no. 358My 92-year-old grandmother regularly uses Smrekovit products and notices that she feels much better and has less pain. Before using them, she had severe leg cramps, but since she started applying the products, they have decreased considerably.
19.2.2019 · statement no. 357After a severe fracture of my upper arm and shoulder joint, when I had to wear a brace for several months, I successfully accelerated my recovery through regular external and internal use of your ointment. With all these and many other health problems, including osteoarthritis, rheumatism, arthritis, and spondylosis, I relied exclusively on spruce resin ointment, as I hardly took any painkillers or other supplements. I can no longer imagine life without this natural product, whose effectiveness is even confirmed by my X-rays.
on an uknown date · statement no. 356I have been using your spruce resin ointment since 1991 and am extremely satisfied with it. It effectively helps me with almost all the illnesses and problems that trouble me. By massaging the affected areas, I always manage to ease and relieve the pain, especially with painful joints, abdominal pain, headaches, and colds.

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.

In a man with diabetes, an open wound on the right foot persisted for several months following repeated necrectomies.

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.
