Apitherapy is the use of bee products and secretions for therapeutic purposes.
Bee venom, pollen, royal jelly, honey and propolis.
Traditionally used for: multiple sclerosis, myelitis, neuritis, polyradiculoneuritis, arthritis, arthrosis, chronic wounds, chronic pain, gout, herpes zoster, tendinitis and weak immunity, as well as Parkinson's disease, ocular uveitis and treatment of neurological spasms.
Therapies involving bees have been around for thousands of years, and some may be as old as medicine itself. An ancient stone painting of early hunters and gatherers shows the bee as a source of natural medicine. Bee venom treatments were practised in ancient Egypt, Greece and China - three great civilisations known for their highly developed medical systems. Hippocrates, the Greek physician known as the 'father of medicine', recognised the healing properties of bee venom for the treatment of arthritis and other joint problems. Today, a growing body of scientific evidence shows that various bee products promote healing by improving circulation, reducing inflammation and stimulating a healthy immune response.
It is important to note that apitherapy is not just the use of venom for treatment, often referred to as bee sting therapy, but the use of all products from the beehive, and most often a combination of them. These products are sometimes mixed with other ingredients, in particular different essential oils, depending on the condition being treated.

The more modern study of apitherapy, and more specifically bee venom, began with the efforts of the Austrian physician Philip Tertz in his published results "Report on the unusual connection between bee stings and rheumatism" in 1888. Bodog Beck (Budapest, Hungary 1871 - NYC , 1942) followed Terc and brought apitherapy to the USA. More recent popularity is attributed to Charles Mraz (1905-1999), a Vermont beekeeper who knew Beck.
Today, apitherapy is developed in Europe, except in Croatia, Russia and Hungary.
I personally use the sting of a live bee, although this can also be done with a prepared solution of apitoxin. An absolute contraindication is an allergy to bee stings and insects in general.
I prepare the patient for apitherapy systematically and immediately before the application of apitoxin to prevent an allergic reaction.
Apitoxin apitherapy is a different therapy and is not recommended outside health care facilities as there is a risk of allergic reaction, but if carried out according to the rules of the profession, the safety rate rises to 95%.
It is particularly effective in inflammatory diseases in neurology and has the ability to regenerate nerve function and nerve tissue.
I combine apitherapy with other natural healing methods. In general, in my experience, apitherapy is excellent for multiple sclerosis and other inflammatory diseases in neurology.
