The tradition of using spruce resin according to these methods successfully survived until the Middle Ages. Spruce resin, which is \u003cstrong\u003ean exceptionally powerful natural preservative, is said to have healing effects even in its fossilized amber form.\u003c\/strong\u003e Women in ancient Rome supposedly wore amber necklaces as a \u003cstrong\u003eremedy for swollen lymph nodes and sore throats.\u003c\/strong\u003e Native Americans also used spruce resin to \u003cstrong\u003eheal abrasions and cuts.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe tradition has also been preserved in folk medicine of the modern era, where spruce resin was used to treat abrasions, arthritis, boils, burns, colds or respiratory inflammation, tuberculosis, coughs, diarrhea and other digestive disorders, headaches, sore throats, rheumatism, stones, tumors, and wounds. Today, it is also used to treat \u003cstrong\u003esciatica, bruises, fatigue, coughs and fungi, warts, sore throats, insect bites, stomach pain, back pain, ear infections, hangnails, sprained ankles, heel spurs, stomach acid, urinary tract infections, herpes, calluses, joint wear and tear, digestion, regeneration, bronchitis, contusions, swelling, muscle pain, hemorrhoids, sprains and injuries, sun allergies, acne, cramps, mastitis, diabetes, foot problems, gum inflammation, joint pain, and burns.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFarmers in Slovenia used spruce resin to treat mastitis in cows and other diseases in livestock and humans. In Gorenjska, the preparation was called \"Smrdljivec\". Slovenian herbalist Father Simon Ašič also wrote about the effects of spruce resin on \u003cstrong\u003emuscles, physical resistance, and skin diseases, rashes, and wounds\u003c\/strong\u003e. Various scientific studies have also confirmed that spruce resin and spruce essential oil are \u003cstrong\u003eextremely effective against microbes, bacteria, and fungi.\u003c\/strong\u003e They even found that spruce resin or spruce essential oil is more effective than antibiotics used to treat these infections in the case of Salmonella Enteritidis and some other bacteria.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExternal use\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApply the ointment to the desired area several times a day. You will achieve a much greater effect by using a spruce dressing, which you should apply at least twice a day.

Since Smrekovit spruce ointment does not taste good, we recommend placing the product in the refrigerator for a few minutes before consumption and using cold liquid to help with ingestion. If you want traces of the ointment to remain on the walls of the upper respiratory tract, spread it throughout the oral cavity so that it slowly washes down the throat and pharynx. To improve the taste, mix it with honey. In small amounts, it can also be applied to the nose and ear canal.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecifics of use:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- apply the affected area several times a day and leave it (some of the ointment will be absorbed by clothing), or cover the applied areas with fabric and plastic film.
