Apitherapy
History
References to medical properties of bee
products can be found in Chinese, Korean,
Russian, Egyptian and Greek traditional
medicine practices. Apitherapy has been
practiced since the times of Hippocrates and
Galen.The more modern study of apitherapy,
specifically using bee venom, was initiated by
Austrian physician Philipp Terč
Apitherapy is promoted as alternative medicine for
several uses.
Some evidence shows that honey may help healing
of skin wounds after surgery and mild burns when
used in a dressing, but in general, evidence for using
honey in wound treatment is of such low quality that
firm conclusions cannot be drawn.
Adverse reactions to bee venom therapy are
frequent.
