smrekovo mazilo - ročna proizvodnja

All Smrekovit products are the fruit of the traditions of our ancestors, our own knowledge and many years of experience with spruce resin. The common characteristic of all products is that they contain real spruce resin from Slovenian forests. Smrekovit products are completely natural and do not contain any artificial substances. Since all Smrekovit products contain real spruce resin, the effects of all products are the same, but differ in their properties and method of use. Spruce resin nourishes the skin externally and internally and improves its natural defence, function and blood circulation.

The questions you often ask us and we are always happy to answer. 😊

What is spruce ointment used for and what is spruce cream used for?

We produce two spruce ointments: Spruce Classic spruce ointment and Spruce Extra spruce cooling ointment. We also produce two spruce creams: Spruce 365 Spruce Cream and Spruce Extra Spruce Cooling Cream.

The essential difference between ointments and creams is that the ointments are made on a fat basis, so they are greasy to the touch and are less and more slowly absorbed into the skin than the creams. Creams, on the other hand, are by definition an emulsion of water and oil, so they do not have a greasy feel, much better absorption than ointments and dry quickly on the skin.

Spruce ointment Smrekovit Klasik is recommended for use on mucous membranes, wounds, for internal use and for massage. Spruce Extra spruce cooling ointment for massage. In almost all other conditions where external use is required, we recommend the use of Smrekovit 365 spruce cream or Smrekovit Extra spruce cooling cream.

Spruce cream is packed in a tube and spruce ointment in a plastic pot. The price of the products is comparable as creams for the same effect are used less than ointments.

What is the difference between Extra and Spruce Classic products or Spruce 365?

The essential property of both Spruce Extra products is that they contain camphor and menthol, so they have a characteristic effect on the skin, which is subjective and some feel it as heating, others as cooling. It should be noted that camphor and menthol only affect the heat receptors in the skin, so the feeling of cooling is really just a feeling and the skin does not actually cool down. Because they also act on pain receptors, they also have a mild anesthetic effect.

Importantly, camphor and menthol do not have a long-term healing effect like spruce resin. Because they contain the same proportion of spruce resin, the products Spruce Extra are just as effective as their analogues without camphor and menthol, Spruce 365 spruce cream and Spruce Classic spruce ointment. The price is also the same.

You choose any of the two Smrekovit Extra products solely on the basis of a subjective feeling, whether you like the feeling of cooling due to camphor and menthol or not. If you don't like the feeling of heating / cooling, opt for Spruce 365 or Spruce Classic if you are going to use the product for a massage. In any case, we do not recommend the use of Smrekovit Extra products with Spruce coating. In this case, camphor and menthol can be irritating and cause a rash on the skin.

How to make spruce ointment?

In the Nordic area, a traditional ointment with butter and spruce resin was made, which gave the resin a new utility, as the addition of butter allowed the product to be nicely lubricated and non-sticky. We prepared such a traditional Finnish butter ointment for our workshop at the Forestry Institute. We heated the butter and resin in a glass over an alcohol burner, which caused us quite a few problems due to the wind, and poured it into a container. This gives us a much more useful mixture for wounds and injuries in nature, such as liquid and sticky resin, if we do not have Smrekovit Klasik or Smrekovit 365 on hand. on pine, as well as on spruce. 

Where to buy spruce ointment and spruce cream Smrekovit?

Why does it sometimes happen that Spruce 365 or 365 Extra Spruce Cream starts to roll after prolonged rubbing?

Spruce 365 and Spruce Extra in a tube are spruce creams. The property of creams is that they are quickly absorbed and dried, so the most recommended way to use them is to spread the cream and let it dry and absorb. are absorbed, and spruce resin and other non-volatile ingredients that remain on the skin are rolled. If you want to use spruce creams for massage or rub or massage them for a long time, then moisturize your hands. With wet hands, you will also be able to smear rollers that have already been made.

Why do you recommend Spruce Wrapping?

First of all, it should be noted that Spruce coating is not recommended in combination with Spruce Extra products. The use of Spruce coating is strongly recommended when using Smrekovit 365 spruce cream and Smrekovit Klasik spruce ointment. The price of spruce linings is intentionally low because it only serves as an aid to spruce products. The use of spruce wraps greatly increases the performance of the products because it acts as a reservoir for the cream or ointment so that the active ingredients from the spruce resin can be continuously absorbed into the tissue as much as it can absorb. In places where the Spruce dressing can be easily attached and stays in place, we recommend using the wrap all the time and homework once a day (lubricate the wrap). On more flexible joints, where the lining likes to curl and move, use it at least overnight, and lubricate this part several times during the day.

Example of using spruce dressings overnight on the fingers:

 

Why do you discourage the use of ice or some other method of cooling?

First, let’s ask ourselves what does ice cause? Cooling slows down the physiological process caused by tissue damage or inflammation. At the site of inflammation or injury, the permeability of the vascular walls increases in order for the body to allow inflammatory cells (leukocytes and lymphocytes) and inflammatory proteins to pass to the site of inflammation. The purpose of this process is to confront the defense mechanism with inflammation in order for the organism to eliminate it on its own. The visible consequence of this process is swelling, which is a completely normal phenomenon, as every cell and protein that passes to the site of inflammation is surrounded by a mantle of water and because inflammatory proteins penetrate the site of inflammation and cells pass water with them.

By cooling, the patency of the vascular walls is reduced again, so the swelling is also reduced, but consequently the treatment time is significantly extended.

Spruce resin causes the opposite and stimulates the body's defense mechanism and consequently significantly reduces the treatment time. It is clear, then, that refrigeration and the use of spruce resin products are contradictory.
