Our whole family now uses Smrekovit, including the grandchildren. I first ordered it because of my own spinal problems, and it helped me tremendously. My husband successfully cured his tonsillitis by taking the resin and has not been ill since. The ointment is indispensable for children’s bumps, blocked noses, and painful ears, and I even use it extensively when caring for dairy cows in the barn. Your product is always close at hand in our home because its quality is truly excellent and consistent.

Your spruce resin ointment is like a miracle cure, and I have been using it for 12 years. When I badly strained both arms during physical work, I used ointment compresses and the pain soon disappeared completely. A compress also eliminated unexplained severe pain under the sole of my foot within a few days. The ointment also helped me greatly with burns in the mouth and with quickly getting rid of cold sores on my lips, which disappeared within three days when I applied it.
14.11.2017 · statement no. 353I used Smrekovit 365 cream for pain, applying it to the affected area three times a day, which helped me greatly. Because I have stomach problems and have been diagnosed with GERD, I also regularly took spruce capsules, which likewise proved very effective. I am extremely satisfied with your products and use them regularly.
12.1.2018 · statement no. 352My brother has asthma and is a serious lung patient. When his condition deteriorated badly and he was hospitalised, he began secretly using spruce resin internally to ease the problems caused by severe throat inflammation. Despite his initial scepticism, the resin began to work incredibly quickly. After a few days, his breathing improved so much that he was able to leave the hospital, and now your resin is indispensable in our home for relieving all kinds of problems.
29.6.2018 · statement no. 351With regular use of Smrekovit, I found that over seven years I was hardly ever affected by colds. With regular use for one month, the product proved very effective in relieving leg pain caused by sciatica. Smrekovit Ekstra, with its cooling effect, has an exceptionally soothing effect on reducing pain in my legs and lower back. By consistently following the instructions, it also helped me completely eliminate severe pain in my Achilles tendon.
on an uknown date · statement no. 350I have been using Smrekovit products for about 25 years, mainly to ease problems with my spine, hips, knees, and ankles. I apply the ointment in the evening before going to bed, which helps me greatly, as the pain is considerably less the next day. Although the pain has not disappeared completely because of severe wear, the ointment helps me more than painkillers. I used to use only Klasik ointment, but now I also regularly use the Ekstra version, which is excellent for massage and injuries. I occasionally apply Klasik ointment to my throat as well, which eases the pain very quickly.
on an uknown date · statement no. 349Everyone in our household uses your products to ease many different problems, such as wounds, abrasions, impacts, inflammation, colds, back and knee pain, and sore throats. It also helps very well with rheumatic problems and bone pain. Your ointment has been with us for almost thirty years and remains an indispensable part of our home medicine cabinet.
on an uknown date · statement no. 348I first used the ointment for toothache, applying it several times a day to my jaw above the painful tooth. After the first application, the pain eased considerably within a few hours, and after two days it disappeared completely; the tooth is still fine four years later. In our family of five, whenever any problem arises, we always turn to spruce resin ointment. My mother and sister also use it regularly, as we simply cannot do without it.
7.4.2017 · statement no. 347Smrekovit ointment is essential in our family. When I had problems with my spine, I had to apply it to my back and joints while also doing exercises. The pain was so severe that I could not even get out of bed, but with the ointment it subsided between morning and afternoon. I have very dry skin, and applying it helps me greatly. During colds and frequent sore throats, I even took the cream internally, which eased the pain, and I also noticed a positive effect on my skin. I am very grateful for this cream, as is my family, because it truly helps, and we therefore always keep it in stock.
5.5.2018 · statement no. 346I am a loyal user of spruce resin ointment. Our whole family uses it, as do relatives abroad. We regularly use the ointment for wounds, haemorrhoids, and gums, and it is very versatile. As it has served us well for many years, I can never allow myself to run out of it; I always keep it in the refrigerator and have it close at hand.
on an uknown date · statement no. 345Smrekovit Klasik improves my digestive problems within just a few hours. When used externally, for example on a purulent boil, the effect appears within a few days, as it draws the pus out. I particularly like Smrekovit 365 cream because it absorbs into the skin extremely quickly and works just as well as the resin; it even seems to me to have a better effect.
15.5.2017 · statement no. 344We older women use spruce resin ointment as a night cream for extremely dry skin on the face, hands, and legs. It is excellent for easing problems with colds; we take it when coughing and apply it to the nose and throat. We also use it on inflamed gums, for insect bites, to massage a painful lower back and joints, and to ease various other problems such as fungal conditions, blisters, and abrasions. We also use it on pets, applying it to itchy skin caused by allergies and to small wounds. The ointment helps with all the problems mentioned above, so I have gladly recommended it to my friends as well.

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.
