Learn About Bee Venom Therapy

By Tammie Caldwell


Bee venom, as the name suggests, is made from bees. When you are stung by a bee, it is painful because of the poison. As much as it is called venom, it is actually used for health benefits that is, and it has medicinal value. There is a difference between bee venom and bee pollen, so do not get confused by both of them. Bee pollen is derived from other members of the same bee insect order. Bee venom therapy is used to treat different conditions.

How can one collect it? There have been ways that have been used to stimulate the bees to sting. The most common one that has always been used is the electric shock technique. A collector device is used that is made of wood which is placed at the entrance of these hives to get it when the bees release it after it has been shocked.

Is collection of this product dangerous to the bees? No its not. After collecting it, they are left alive and can actually produce more of it. In the old days, the bees died because the methods used did not favor the bees which was around the 50s, but nowadays safer ways have come up that leave not more than ten bees per hive.

How can this solution be prepared? There are two ways to prepare the solution. One of them is to use an isotonic saline solution by dissolving it and passing it through the microporefilter. This method has a disadvantage attached to it. Research shows that the active component of a venom that could be used for treatment could be destroyed.

How does it work? First, the toxin has to be introduced in small doses to your body so as to curb any allergic reactions that might occur. This is done by injecting small doses of this toxin into your body via the skin. The doses have to be controlled because too much of it can be really dangerous and end up killing you.

Most people prefer taking their medication orally but the information about the toxin being taken orally has always been limited. There have not been cases whereby this product has been made into tablets, capsules or even oral drops but there are some other products available in the market that have an extract of this substance.

It usually can be contaminated by pollen or dust if you do not look after it properly. The color of the venom depends with the oxidation of the components so you have to always protect it. Do not let it be extremely oxidized since it will lose its value. The color can be brownish yellow or white in its powder form. Its usually a colorless liquid.

It could be the best thing so far to happen to the health sector. It is a natural treatment to many human ailments and its advantages has made it a very popular medicine. It is rapidly gaining popularity worldwide and it has been there since centuries ago. This therapy is the best form of treatment there could ever be.
