My Review: When I first saw this product on Tomoson, I thought that this would be another great opportunity to get a product for a comparison review to all the other pain relief creams and ointments we here at Mom's Thumb Reviews have tested, tried, and reviewed all ready.  Showing this product to my Mother In Law, and Aunt, they were both very impressed that there was no to little scent, that it covered so many inflammatory issues that many older people get as they do age.
As I kept this out and about on the counter, or in the bathroom or in my bedroom, I tried to think about how to use this because at the time and even for the first 5 days none of my family had any issues needing to use this product.
But then one night my 3 year old was running around the living room when he slipped on the hard wood floor and slid right into the heavy wooden TV stand right in the corner and started screaming bloody murder.  My Mother In Law and I carried him into the kitchen looked at his foot, (we thought for sure he broke a toe), and carefully put some ice on it.  But after 1-3 minutes he wouldn't keep the ice on, so looking around for something to put on his foot, I saw this Ateevia Botanica on the counter.  I squirted some on my finger to rub on his foot, as we found out he didn't break a toe, but hit the soft fleshy part of his upper foot on the TV stand.   He had a huge black and purple and blue bruise, and a large lump.  He started to freak out when he saw the brown stuff on my finger (he hates all medicine that he has to swallow).  But Mam Ma told him it was honey for his foot and he calmed right down.  I rubbed the cream into his foot, and within 10 minutes the bruise was faded, the lump was gone, and he was down running around again.

The very next day he hit his foot on something else and begged for the honey to be put on his foot. My 3 year old loves this stuff for all his little bruises and such.  I have used this on myself for strained muscles and it worked great.  I'm very impressed with this stuff.  I personally don't like the scent, I can't describe it, but its something that as a child growing up, this smell is very gross to me.  But everyone else likes it, including my Husband who doesn't like anything scented except his cologne.
Pros: works great, works fast, isn't sticky, easy to wash residue off

Cons: I don't like the smell, but I'm the only one who doesn't, its $20 for a 3.0 fl oz tube, but I'm sold on the effectiveness of this product to be willing to pay for this, others with tighter budgets might not be able to afford $20 for a tube like this.

Yeast Infection Tips

Have you ever had a yeast infection?  

What about your baby or toddler?  It's pretty bad stuff, and not very fun to have to deal with, and can be really difficult to kill. You can go to the store and try the half a dozen or so 1 day super expensive stuff, the 5 day moderately priced stuff, or the 7 day lower priced stuff.  If your baby has a yeast infection in the diaper area, or if a woman or man has a yeast infection in the genital area, or if an adult has thrush in that same area; below are some great tips for a way to kill it quickly, safely, and naturally.

Recipe for Healing a Yeast Infection:
*fresh garlic
*Extra Virgin Olive Oil
*glass bowl with lid


For Yeast Infection:
Fresh Garlic for Yeast InfectionGet a fresh garlic clove, and mince it all up into a small glass bowl (this bowl needs a lid), now mix in enough olive oil to cover up all the garlic.  Let the mixture sit in the covered bowl for 3 days.  Put the bowl in a cool dark place, so that you don't harvest mold.  Now apply with cotton balls on a baby or toddler to their diaper area, pat it on, don't rub it on.  If this seems to hurt the child or baby, apply lightly, let it sit a  few seconds and then clean off.  If that doesn't work, we used Vaseline on the affected area, then the garlic mixture.  That helped a lot better with the discomfort.  Apply with a wash rag or cotton balls to adults as well.


For Thrush:
Crisco Olive Oils for ThrushIf you have thrush cut garlic cloves open and put the freshly cut side on your tongue for 30 seconds.  Do this up to 6 times a day (2 in the morning, 2 around noon, and 2 at night).  For children its harder to get them to leave a garlic piece on their tongue, so you can follow the instructions for the garlic olive oil and use a dropper to put a few drops in their mouth up to 6 times a day.

I have tried both of these tips on my self, my husband and my baby when we had yeast infections, and my baby had thrush.  After suffering with a yeast infection for 2 weeks and nothing in the store was working I tried this and it was gone in 3 days.  My baby had thrush for 3 days and it was gone after using this in 2 days.


My husband has had yeast infections from poor diet, and dirty work out clothes, and has killed those in just a few days.  There are other things to try, but this is all natural, and it has worked for everyone I've told.  It does burn a bit at first, and you'll feel like you need to scratch, but don't! My husband used the cotton balls and found they worked best for him.  I felt the washrag worked best for me.

And always remember to wash with soap often and keep the area dry!

So go ahead and give both options a try when you test this out for yourself.
