Apitherapy is the use of Bee Venom to cure or treat symptoms of certain diseases. A beekeeper or practitioner who does not actually use the live bee but the venom that has been diluted with lidocaine usually gives therapy. It is very important to remember if you decide to have this therapy the threat of an anaphylactic reaction can occur and a bee sting kit is available. The beekeeper or practitioner will hold the honeybee with tweezers over the area to be treated and allow it to sting you.
Treatment varies depending on the patient s response.
When a Doctor uses Bee Venom, he will use a slightly diluted version with a local anesthetic mix. The following will give you a list of commonly treated conditions and what the basic achievement of treatment is. Multiple Sclerosis- decreases fatigue and muscle spasms. Scleroderma -helps with pain and inflammation. Keloids - flattens and softens the tissue area, even causing the usual bright color to diminish.
