Knowing More About Bee Venom Therapy

By Kristen Baird


Most people have been stung by a bee at least once in their lives. The venom that the bees possess in their stingers are actually the substance that makes the sting painful and may cause other kinds of conditions. However, if used correctly, this poison can actually be used as a medicine in which people call it 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 firstly, the venom when used as a medicine, has some anti inflammatory properties. So if one would get wounds, boils, pusses, or any other type of swelling, this substance can actually reduce the swelling. This has often been used as a skin treatment for those who would get wounds very often or for those who are suffering from the condition known as eczema.

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.

Now there are even some studies that would prove that this medicine may even help with arthritis. Now this medicine can specifically be very helpful in the prevention of osteoarthritis and of course the infamous rheumatoid arthritis. Many medical researchers have been looking into how to use bee venom acupuncture for treatment.

Now there are also some people who claim that this substance is even great for cleaning infected areas in the body. Now these people would often put some of the venom on their infected wounds or areas in order to clean it from germs and bacteria. The venom is said to have properties that are used to be able to kill these germs and cleanse the infection.

Recently, many people have been using this same substance into making their skin much nicer. Apparently, this substance has the ability to help with blood circulation which is able to smooth out the lines or wrinkles in the face in order to make the face look much younger and much more vibrant. It also helps produce collagen which is actually beneficial to the skin as well.

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.
