What’s All the Buzz About? Benefits and Risks of ‘Bee Sting’ Therapy
What are the benefits? Apitherapy has been proven effective in treating scars and wounds, reducing plaque and gingivitis, and regulating thyroid function. Even neurological and immune diseases such as Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and Alzheimer’s can respond positively to the therapy. It can also ease the symptoms of allergies, shingles, and gout and can help reduce nerve pain.
Most people will freeze in place or slowly back away when they hear the distinctive buzzing of a bee nearby — nobody wants to get stung! However, Gwyneth Paltrow and other celebrities have embraced apitherapy, a type of therapy that uses bee stings to treat scarring, inflammation, and many dental and health conditions. Here’s the thing, though: Apitherapy has been shown to carry many risks along with the benefits; thus, it’s vital to discuss this treatment with your doctor before giving it a go! What does apitherapy entail? The use of honeybee venom, pollen, honey, or beeswax to treat joint pain for arthritis and other medicinal purposes can be traced back to ancient Egypt, China, and Greece. Honeybee products can be used topically as an ointment or cream, orally, or via injection (sometimes by a medically administered bee sting). What are the risks? First and most obvious, if an individual is allergic to honey or bee products, the allergic reaction can be dangerous. However, other risks with apitherapy include muscular weakness, headaches, jaundice, body pains, uterine contractions, or a cough. Everyone responds differently to natural therapy and some apitherapy practices, but using honey to soothe a sore throat can carry fewer risks than others.
If this natural therapy sounds appealing, discuss the idea with your doctor before trying it. If they give you the all-clear, the next step is to locate a trusted apitherapy provider!
