SPRUCE RESIN OINTMENT SMREKOVIT KLASIK
Ever since 1990, when Ivo Konc created the first spruce resin ointment, our goal has been development, production and tracking of the effects of the spruce resin. We do everything in conjunction with nature and stay sustainable. Here you can check how it all started...
USE OF THE PRODUCT SPRUCE OINTMENT
The main ingredient is spruce resin. The many effects of coniferous resin are well known all over the world and have been confirmed by the experiences of our many users since 1990. You can read many experiences regarding the use of Smrekovit products, which we regularly add, and a whole file is waiting for publication, on this page.
Spruce resin nourishes the skin on the surface and in depth, strengthens its defense mechanism and stimulates its function and blood circulation. Apply the spruce ointment Smrekovit Klasik several times a day in a thin layer to the desired area. Since it is made on a fat basis, it can also be used for massage, although massage is not necessary for the desired effect
For a stronger effect, we recommend the use of Spruce veneer . You can also use Spruce cream Smrekovit 365 with Smrekovit lining , which is even more effective.
When using Smrekovit products, you only need to pay attention to a possible allergy to spruce resin, which is otherwise rare. We also strongly advise against cooling with ice or another cold source, as cooling reduces the effect of the spruce resin. Why? Read the answer to a frequently asked question here.
Spruce cream
Spruce ointment was our only product until 2010. In 2010, we developed Smrekovit Extra spruce ointment with a cooling effect, which is as effective as Smrekovit Klasik, and then in 2017, we developed the spruce cream Smrekovit 365 and Smrekovit Ekstra spruce cream with a cooling effect, which proved to be even more effective products when used externally than of both spruce ointments.
Spruce Capsules and oral spray
Until 2017, Smrekovit Klasik spruce ointment was also used for problems in the digestive tract and in the oral cavity, which is why it is made from ingredients used in the food industry, so this method of use is still possible, but in 2017 we developed a more suitable product for this purpose, namely Smrekovit Capsules and Smrekovit oral spray.

HISTORY OF THE PRODUCT SPRUCE OINTMENT
In 1989, Ivo Konc designed Smrekovit Klasik (spruce resin ointment), the first spruce resin ointment in this part of Europe. This was because of this was unbearable back pain that he had felt since the age of 10, when he overcame tick-borne meningitis. From then on, the problems only became worse and were so severe that at the end of his studies at the Faculty of Sport, he was exempted from performing the practical part of the exams, and in 1974, he was also exempted from military service in the then Yugoslavian People's Army. At that time, the specialist doctor suggested an operation as the only option to avoid disability before age 30. He declined the operation and started looking for natural treatments. This was how he came to Ms. Prežle in Lesce, who gave him resin wraps, with which he effectively coped with pain in his spine.
When he dislocated a finger on his hand in 1989, Ms. Prežle's black and sticky wrap was not suitable for treatment and thus he made the first spruce ointment. Although he could not help himself and his dislocation with his invention, it was effective for many other problems. The spruce resin ointment spread through the whole of Yugoslavia at that time in two years, through neighbours, friends and acquaintances who excitedly spread the word of its effectiveness. In 1990, he opened a business.
IT ALL STARTED IN A SMALL WORKSHOP IN NAKLO NEAR KRANJ
Due to his own problems, Ivo Konc developed the first spruce resin ointment in Naklo near Kranj in 1989. At first, in front of the garage of his house and later he arranged a small building in front of the house for this purpose.
JANEZ KONC IN EQUIPING THE SPRUCE RESIN OINTMENT
Ivo Konc has had problems with his spine since the age of 10, which escalated to the stage, that his doctor advised an operation as the only option to avoid disability. Through Ms. Prežla in Lesce, he was introduced to the efficiency of spruce resin and in 1989, developed the first spruce resin ointment. He was never operated on.
WE MOVED TO LJUBLJANA
Since 2010, the company and its mission have been continued by Ivo’s son, Matic Konc, whose life path brought him to Ljubljana, where we also moved the company and production in 2015.
