Beehive is undoubtedly nature’s oldest medicinal laboratory. For many years these unwearying insects produce substances that provide humans with power, health, well-being and beauty. This priceless, century-old empirical knowledge on the nutritional, tonic, therapeutic and cosmetic properties of bee derivatives has now become part of a set of scientific activities called APITHERAPY, and systematically studies the infinite potential of their contribution to human nutritional habits and health.

Apitherapy evaluates the beneficial properties of honey, propolis, pollen, royal jelly, bee venom and larvae extract, and uses them either unprocessed or in combination with each other or with other equal natural substances, such as essential plant oils. It has countless applications because, among other things, it treats human beings as integrated psychosomatic entities. This holistic approach fully serves the modern expanded scientific definition of health, in which human being’s health is defined not only as the absence of any disease or disability, but also as the state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.

Bee derivatives are neither drugs nor substitutes for classical or homeopathic medicines. They work alongside these, and their rational use can improve the effectiveness of medicines and reduce their potential side effects.
