Ateevia Botanicals is a natural pain relieving cream that I was sent for review at just the right time. My back has been really bothering me lately due to increased activity level and I felt like a natural pain relief option would be best. My expectations were that this cream would lessen my pain, although probably not take it away.
First Impression: I was actually a little taken-aback by the appearance and feel of Ateevia Botanicals PRIME cream. The cream is a brown like color and comes out of the tube in a thin stream. When I rubbed a bit between my fingers I was surprised to feel it was gritty, not smooth like I expected.
Application: I rubbed the cream on my lower back until it was completely dissolved. Interestingly enough, the grits just dissolved and I was left with smooth skin.
Pro’s: I liked that Ateevia Bontainicals PRIME did lessen my lower back pain. Its a good non-narcotic option for pain relief. Although my pain was not gone 100% I would estimate that it was 60% better than before I applied the cream.
Con’s: This stuff smells really bad to me. If I had to compare the smell to something I’d say it smells very similar to Nair (hair removal).
Concluding, I think this is a good option for pain relief if you are seeking a natural option. A tube of this product costs $19.99 but I think it would last a great deal of time. You just need a small amount each time you apply it.

This would be perfect for my husband and son. My husband is always sore from working around the house and coaching soccer and my son is always sore after football practice or a game.
My husband has back pain.. Love a more natural relief for the pain.
I love the idea of relieving pain without the use of more ‘traditional’ (i.e., pharmaceutical) painkillers! Would love to try this, and to have my husband try this product…even if it does smell bad.
Thanks!
