Feedback on effectiveness
You can leave your reviews about sumac cream, other users will find it useful: Irina:
“You have to wait quite a long time for the effect. I have rheumatoid arthritis. Over time, pain in the knee became more frequent, lameness and stiffness of movement appeared. The therapy was comprehensive. I took pills and received injections. There was no particular effect. After 2-3 months everything happened again. Out of desperation, I began to look for drugs on my own. I bought smart cream Sumac. I anointed my leg twice a day for almost 2 years. During this time there were no special complications, then the pain disappeared completely, activity resumed - the limp stopped. Interestingly, I have been without treatment for 2 years now, no health problems. You have to wait a long time for the effect, but it comes!”
Diana:
“My opinion is that the cream is for mild joint problems; in severe cases there is no effect. Tested from my own experience. My father has arthrosis, the drug had no effect. Zero relief. Mom periodically suffers from joint pain after a long walk. Used in the evening, it becomes easier in the morning. But everything repeats again with repeated loading. It turns out that he applies the cream periodically. My husband is on his feet all day for work. By the evening the joint is buzzing. The cream helps him almost immediately. The pain disappears, the swelling goes away. I use it in the summer when I feel discomfort from high-heeled shoes. Half an hour and everything is fine. It helps, but not in all cases. There is no strong effect. And what can you expect from herbal extracts?”
