Apitherapy is, simply said, the use of bee products to prevent, heal or recover a living being (man, animal or even plants) from one or more diseases/conditions.
Another possible definition is:
"Apitherapy is the Art and Science of treatment and holistic healing through the honeybee and her products for the benefit of mankind and all the animal kingdom."
Tina Drakes, AIC student
The etymology of this word is self-explanatory:
"Api" comes from the bee´s Latin name: Apis mellifica and "therapy" comes from the Greek word "therapeuein" which means a method to treat the human beings or animals against different diseases.
To prevent a disease means that:
You can destroy the potential "enemies" before they will even try to enter in our body; to stimulate the body´s own "powers" to destroy these "enemies" once they are inside, BEFORE any clinical signs (fever, inflammation, pains, etc.) will appear.
To recover a person after a certain disease/condition means to bring back, in a normal health state, that person.
In other words, it means to make the body, mind and spirit to function at least as good as before the disease appeared.
"Recovery" is a word often used after surgery, different traumas or infectious diseases, including a banal flu.
To heal means to eliminate completely a certain disease or sign/symptom.
To "treat" means just to try to heal somebody. You may have success or not, the result depends of extremely numerous factors.
So, "mot-a-mot", like the French are saying ("word by word"), apitherapy means the intention to heal somebody by using the bees and their products.
However, we understand today apitherapy in a much larger sense…
Apitherapy is not just a simple, therapeutically method, it is already a different type of medicine.
We can even call it "APIMEDICINE". Why?
Because:
Apitherapy is already a SCIENCE; it has a strong scientific base, even if there are still a lot of "mysteries" out there…
It is a Science also because you need to know exactly what you are doing when you treat a patient; you need a perfect "diagnostic", you need to know exactly what are the best methods to administer the "drugs", and you need also to know very well the DOSAGE.
It is a science because apitherapy offers in extremely numerous cases, REPRODUCIBLE results; in other words, for example, propolis will always destroy Helicobacter pylori if given in the right amount, and bee venom will increase the cortisol secretion after a bee sting.
Apitherapy is an ART, because it has to do with everything our Mother Nature´s Spirit gave us: love, friendship, hope, understanding, but also despair, hate, vanity and so on…
It is an ART, because in order to apply it properly, you need to be a real "artist"; you need to have always in your soul the Nature´s beauties and to share with your "brothers and sisters" this real treasure
it is also an ART because healing somebody is the MOST BEAUTIFUL thing which can happen in someones life…
Apitherapy is also a holistic medicine. "Holistic" means to use the "whole" or to treat the "whole".
Apitherapy is holistic because:
it is strongly related, in a harmonious way, with so many natural processes
it uses knowledge from other holistic natural therapies like phytotherapy (use of herbs), aromatherapy (use of essential oils), dietotherapy (use of nutrients), acupuncture, acupressure, ayurveda.
It affects deeply the human´s and animal´s nervous system and blood flow, so, only through these two systems, it affects the whole body,
it affects our emotional life,
it affects our spiritual life;
to heal somebody, not only with a jar of honey, but also through real love, friendship and understanding is already a "spiritual" thing…
So, each time when we´ll say in the future "apitherapy" or we will just read the word "apitherapy", let´s try to feel inside our mind, soul and spirit: KNOWLEDGE and LOVE, that means the most important things in our life, isn´t it, my friends?
So, question number one for my students:
"What is apitherapy?"
If you have time, please send us your opinion. Together we may find an even better answer than the one I gave above…
