The use of products derived from the honey bee is known as apitherapy. The bee products may include honey, pollen, propolis, royal jelly, beeswax and bee venom.
Honey Bee venom is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. It is believed that the bee venom contains many substances which have anti-inflammatory properties thereby suppressing the immune system. The bee venom is administered, the bees are encouraged to sting, up to three times per week. This therapy is generally provided by private individuals who keep bees and maintain bee hives at home. In one case a lady MS sufferer has been stung many thousands of times and she believes it is making a positive difference to her well-being.
This therapy is being provided by non-professionals, is not clinically tested and has no recognised medical approval. There is a real risk of serious, even fatal, allergic reaction to bee venom, as I’m sure anyone who has been stung by a bee will testify. Bee-keepers, you will notice, wear protective clothing to avoid being stung.
