How To Get The Best Out Of 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.

Do bees die when collecting it? The bees are safe and you have nothing to worry about. In the mid 50s, people did not have ways to collect it without endangering the lives of these bees but in this new era, there have been advancements in the methods of collecting it and the bees remain alive.

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 is it used in treatment? It is actually simple. So as to help in the allergic reaction of the poison, you are given the poison via injections which will be administered under your skin. Your immune system will get used to this after a while and then the treatment will continue from there. The doses have to be in a controlled environment.

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.

Bee venom has been a major contribution to the health sector. It has become quite popular and has been widely recognized. It is used to treat many human ailments and the good thing with that is that it can be used in diverse forms. This therapy has become quite common because its not expensive and also since it is a natural; hence, there really are no side effect as compared to using other form of medication that are chemically manufactured.
