Some Information About Bee Venom Therapy

By Kristen Baird


Now most people would most likely think that after being stung by a bee, they have to make sure that the poison does not get into their bloodstream because it is dangerous. However, science has proven that there is no danger of being stung by bees but it may in fact be beneficial to the health of a person. Using the poison of bees in order to cure or prevent certain ailments is called bee venom therapy.

Also known as apitherapy, this type of treatment is often used to cure illnesses that cannot seem to be cured by traditional medicine. Most people these days would extract the substance from bees and inject it into their bodies via a syringe. The others however, would purposely let themselves get stung by one of these insects as they claim that being directly stung by the bee will make the treatment be more effective.

Now this type of substance is known to have components that have anti inflammatory properties. This means that if one has swelling from wounds or other insect bites, this substance can actually help with the inflammation. Many people have sworn using it to bring down the swelling in their bodies whenever they would have wounds, boils, or other kinds of inflammations.

Some studies have even researched that this substance can relieve pain in the muscles as well. Well this does make sense since the medicine is ultimately used for anti inflammation. So if one would have a muscle ache or a cramp, this type of medicine can actually help because it can be used in order to lessen the inflammation inside the muscles when the muscles ache.

Studies have also found out that this substance can even help with the improvement of arthritis in general. In fact, some researchers even stated that this so called poison can even prevent the condition known as rheumatoid arthritis. Because of this, many researchers have began studying more and more the benefits of bee venom acupuncture.

Now there are also some claims that state that this substance can also help with cleaning up infections. A number of people have tried using the medicine on their infected wounds and were able to make the wound close up quite fast. Researchers have found out that this substance, aside from anti inflammatory properties, had cleansing properties as well to kill germs and bacteria.

Of course in the field of dermatology, many also believe that this substance may even help with skin care. In general, it is used in order to make the blood circulation in the body better which in turns pumps more oxygen into the face making it smoother and look more vibrant. Of course the blood circulation is also able to help produce collagen which is essential to beautiful skin.

Now although apitherapy has not been completely studied yet by medical researchers, many alternative doctors and other health experts have been using it for aiding certain conditions. Now it is because of this that many people have sworn that this so called poison is actually a medicine for them. This substance is no longer something that is dangerous but rather helpful and beneficial instead.
