Apitherapy is the medical use of bee products such as honey, pollen, royal jelly, and bee venom.
Through bee stings
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society has begun funding a study on apitherapy at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
Although apitherapy proponents maintain that royal jelly is not only entirely safe but almost miraculously beneficial, a number of deaths have been linked to its use.
Yes, some experts believe that bee venom is beneficial to health but no, others disbelieve any benefit from apitherapy.Specifically, bee venom contains the peptide melittin. Apitherapists in Eastern Europe and Korea defend the venom's use to improve circulation, relieve inflammation, and strengthen immunity. Apitherapy has a history of being used in Asian traditional medicine since the second century B.C.
