I am 45 years old and have been using your products for about three years. At first, I used Smrekovit Ekstra, and now I am trying Klasik. I use it to ease problems in both elbows caused by a forced posture at work, tendon inflammation, or tennis elbow. I use the ointment once a day after warming the area or having a hot-stone massage, and then wrap the area in transparent film. It will probably not eliminate the problems completely, but it is the only ointment that actually relieves my pain, in addition to all the other massages and therapies I use to improve the condition. The progress is certainly visible, as after six years I can mountain bike again.

These are personal experiences of individual users. A particular statement does not mean that another user will have the same experience.
Smrekovit ointment works very well when applied to parts of the body, but what bothers me a little is that it does not absorb into the skin quickly enough. I would like to know whether there is an option or a version that would absorb a little faster than usual.
on an uknown date · statement no. 329I use spruce resin ointment. I use it for anything that hurts, itches, or stings, and it always helps. Whether it is a scratch, pain in the cervical spine, or pimples. My rating is: very effective! I would also add that my husband used it to heal inflammation of the Achilles tendon and various other injuries.
on an uknown date · statement no. 328I attend therapy with Roman Perko, who uses your Ekstra ointment. I had a displaced nerve in my spine, and after just one treatment with your cream I was completely well within the day. I also apply it to my father, who has vascular problems in his legs; with the help of your 365 cream, we successfully keep the wounds, which fortunately have not opened, under control. My mother also regularly uses your ointments. I am a massage therapist myself and recommend your ointments to all my clients.
9.8.2018 · statement no. 327I used to buy Klasik cream at the pharmacy in Mlaka, Kranj, because my sister lives there. The cream is wonderful; I apply it everywhere – on my head, lower back, legs, fungal areas, and hands – and if anything itches, it helps me. I have certainly bought around 20 of them already, but now I have motor neurone disease, with my muscles and nerves failing, so it does not help with that.
on an uknown date · statement no. 326I use spruce resin ointment for all kinds of skin problems, such as corns and dry skin after mosquito bites. It helps greatly with itching and reduces redness and rashes. The condition always improves quickly with it, so I am very satisfied with your ointment, and my husband and I will continue buying it whenever we run out. I then order a new one immediately.
on an uknown date · statement no. 325I have been using Smrekovit ointment for about 15 years, and I have now ordered a new, larger container because it has continued to work for me, so I use it very regularly. I mainly use it to relieve colds or throat problems. In the evening before going to bed, I apply it inside both nostrils and then also under the nose, both externally and internally, or on my forehead. By morning, breathing is usually much easier. When I have a cough or cold, after applying it to my chest I put on warm pyjamas, which makes my chest sweat heavily, and then breathing becomes easier. I also use it for various boils and similar skin problems, as well as painful joints or even headaches. Kind regards.
on an uknown date · statement no. 324I use Smrekovit 365 on wounds after surgery, as it provides protection. I apply a small amount to the outer ears, which immediately relieves the itching and pain so that they settle almost at once. I also regularly apply it to warts, about twice a day; over the last month, one external wart fell off, while those on my face and body became smaller and smoother. Swollen joints have also often become considerably less swollen after applying it. The fungal problems between my toes and on the outer toes have also cleared up. Now I still occasionally apply a little Extra cream under my breasts for heat, cough, or a blocked nose.
on an uknown date · statement no. 323It has a very soothing effect on the areas where I apply it. Sometimes, when I forget or neglect the care, the soles of my feet are the worst, as cramps and pain wake me in the middle of the night and last for one to two hours. But when I start applying Smrekovit again, everything becomes easier and I do not worry about it as much. In the morning and during the day, ticks do not attach to me if I have applied spruce oil or cream, and neither do flies.
18.5.2018 · statement no. 322After carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand, the wound healed very nicely. After varicose vein surgery, however, I was left with very severe, hard, and painful scars on my leg with intense itching, and no ointment helped. Only when I began rubbing in your ointment did I start to find some relief and slowly notice an improvement in the wound and itching. I am still not completely free of the problem, but it helps me greatly to reduce the swelling and ease the discomfort. Thank you very much and kind regards. I used to have to sleep with a pillow under my legs, but now I can go to bed more easily and feel much better. I wish you much success on your journey!
26.1.2018 · statement no. 321I have been using Smrekovit ointment for years, applying it to my throat and chest. I always use it preventively when my throat starts to tickle or for skin inflammation, and the ointment works really well. It convinced me particularly when I had an open wound after surgery that simply would not heal. Every day I went to the health centre to have the dressing changed, and then at home I began caring for the wound with your ointment by applying it to gauze. After a few days, the wound began to heal. I then started applying the ointment directly to the wound, and after a month and a half the wound closed and healed nicely. I was convinced that the healing would have gone much faster with this ointment. Absolutely great!
19.1.2018 · statement no. 320When my baby was three months old, I began experiencing increasingly severe pain in my wrists (in the bone by the thumb). My doctor thought it might be carpal tunnel syndrome and prescribed wrist splints, which did not help at all. At four months, the baby was very heavy, and lifting was strenuous. As the condition did not improve, I sought emergency medical help and was diagnosed with inflammation of the tendons and ligaments. Medication and rest (which I could not afford with a baby), as well as Naklofen ointment (which I was not allowed to use while breastfeeding), were not suitable, so I used Smrekovit ointment with compresses for 10 days. The condition slowly began to improve, and I believe that with more rest the improvement will be even greater.

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.
