We used Smrekovit Klasik for haemorrhoids, and the condition improved within just 14 days. When the cream was applied directly to the haemorrhoids, they healed quickly. We also used it for herpes and fungal problems, where the condition improved within one week. For viral warts, applying it directly to the wart resulted in them healing within 14 days. With regular use for contact dermatitis, the condition improved within three to four days. Smrekovit Ekstra helps us greatly with rheumatoid arthritis and relieves muscle pain and pain after injuries.

These are personal experiences of individual users. A particular statement does not mean that another user will have the same experience.
I decided to give the ointment to my daughter, who uses it often. It helps her most with muscle pain and insect bites, as the effect comes fairly quickly. It is also very effective for cracked skin. My husband has tried your ointment as well and found that it has a very good effect and a pleasant smell, so we warmly recommend it. I wish you much personal and business success.
on an uknown date · statement no. 317Dear Sir. On my behalf, thank you for the ointment you added to the order. My husband has severe pain due to a neurological disease, and your ointment at least eases this pain a little. It also helps him with rheumatic problems in his joints. Anyone who has not experienced this does not know what real pain is. Once again, thank you for your ointment.
11.12.2017 · statement no. 316I had major problems with my wrists; because of the pain and my “dead” hands, everything kept falling out of my hands, which is a major problem after 33 years of working in hospitality. Four years ago, I started using your products, and the problems disappeared. My husband also had problems with rheumatism and arthritis, but after two years of applying the products, his pain disappeared. Now I have come back for help because of wear in my hips and problems with my pelvis, as I believe you will help me recover again. Thank you and good luck.
9.10.2017 · statement no. 315I have been using Smrekovit Klasik ointment for eight years. My child had many problems with breathing and bronchitis, so I apply it to his chest and back every evening. I think it is excellent, although I have tried many other things as well. The only thing that bothers me a little is that pharmacies often offer other products or patches that are not as good, so I prefer to order online.
on an uknown date · statement no. 314I have been using Smrekovit for pain from rheumatoid arthritis since 1990. I started using it as soon as I read Mr Ivo Konc’s description of “spruce ointment” in the magazine Naša žena. Throughout all these years, I have regularly used the ointment when the pain in the joints of my hands, lower back, and insteps becomes more severe. I apply it in the morning before exercise and in the evening before going to bed. The ointment eases my pain, improves the mobility of my hands, and in general I feel better after using it. I wish you much success in the future.
on an uknown date · statement no. 313I first became acquainted with Smrekovit one winter about a year ago. As a former active alpine skier, over the years I began to feel increasing pain in my lower back. With the help of your product, I managed to “loosen up” this area to the point where the pain was initially tolerable, and after several days of using it twice a day, the condition settled completely. I highly recommend the product. As a father of young athletes, I should also add that we regularly use it as a preventive measure after demanding training sessions.
3.10.2018 · statement no. 312I applied compresses to my shoulders and lower back and spread a thin layer of ointment. Over two months, the condition improved somewhat and the pain decreased, but in bad weather it becomes much more severe again. I am very grateful for your help, as the products at least ease my problems a little. Sometimes the pain is so severe that I have to get up at night and apply the cream, but I use it up quickly and then I am back at the beginning again. Once again, thank you for your kind heart and your help.
on an uknown date · statement no. 311Many years ago, a friend and I were in Germany reading about your products in some material kept by her mother. That was when I first brought your ointment home, and since then I have been a regular Smrekovit user. I will never forget an incident at a spa when my granddaughter developed an inflamed ear after swimming in the pool; I applied the ointment, and within an hour her ear had calmed down. After that experience, I always recommend the ointment to friends who have ear pain, and Smrekovit has become a constant companion for my father-in-law. We are always happy to have your products close at hand. I wish you continued success and send my best regards.
8.1.2018 · statement no. 310My family and I have been using spruce ointment for a very long time. We can no longer imagine life without it, as it helps us with insect bites, wounds, pimples, inflamed gums, redness, and dry skin. Your ointment also helped me get rid of severe pain on the outside of my leg that made walking difficult. I now also use your new spruce cream, which I apply to my lower back, shoulder, and knees; the cream effectively relieves the pain. Thank you for all the help you provide us, and I wish you continued success.
19.10.2017 · statement no. 309I use spruce ointment when I have an irritating cough, applying it to my throat and chest. After just a few days of use, the condition improved considerably.
27.11.2017 · statement no. 308I have been using spruce ointment since 2011, and it is very effective at relieving pain. I am very satisfied with the product, as it really helps me. I wish you continued success in your work.

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.
