Apitherapy for the spine - treatment of hernia with bee venom

Apitherapy for spinal hernia is a method, the essence of which is the treatment of pathological protrusion in the spinal column with the healing properties of bee venom. This path of treatment includes many waste products of insects: honey, uterine milk, pollen, propolis and apitoxin. Also, this method involves the treatment of dead bees.

Under the treatment of intervertebral hernia is meant the bite of honey insects in the affected area.

Healing effect of poison

The basis from which doctors are repelled is a product of the glands of the bee - apitoxin. It is this substance that has many properties, due to which the process of restoring the damaged area occurs.

Useful properties of bee venom for humans:

1. Antispasmodic action : apitoxin, due to its chemical structure, relieves muscle spasm in the bite area, which leads to their relaxation, relieving tension, which, in turn, helps to release nerves and relieve pain.
2. Hyperthermic property . This effect is achieved by actively increasing blood circulation in the bite area, which leads to the following action:
3. Speed ​​up recovery . As local blood circulation increases, the influx of useful substances together increases, accelerating tissue regeneration.
4. Anti-inflammatory action . Apitoxin contains many enzymes that prevent the development of the inflammatory process.
5. Removal of local swelling.

Also, honey bee venom increases the amount of hemoglobin, contributes to the regulation of blood viscosity and coagulability, and acts as an anesthetic. The general effects include: improved sleep, increased body tone and vigor, stimulation of appetite. Apitoxin increases the performance of general immunity and prevents infection by opportunistic bacteria. In Soviet times, domestic researchers found that bee venom has radioprotective properties, that is, it increases the body's defense against various types of radiation.

Indications for treatment with bee venom

Apitherapy is a universal method, the effect of which is aimed not only at curing vertebral hernias, but also other pathological conditions.

When is bee venom useful:

• diseases of the nervous system;
• pathology of the genitourinary system;
• circulatory disorders;
• ailments of the digestive tract.

Preparing for the process

Treatment of a hernia of the spine with bees begins with a study of human allergic reactions. According to statistics, 2% of the population have a biological intolerance to bee venom, so the occurrence of allergies can lead to anaphylactic shock. In order to study the reaction of the body, it is enough for a person to conduct a biological test, inflicting a tiny amount of poison on slightly scratched skin. The result is expected the next day. Hernia treatment is started when a person has no changes in the general analysis of blood and urine.

The process of introducing poison is carried out in two ways:

1. Model of acupuncture . In this case, the bees are seated on biologically active points, where the bite occurs.
2. Bite directly into the affected area . The specialist, probing the affected area with his hand, puts a bee there and expects a bite.

Technique

The process of therapy begins with the reception of the supine position by the patient.

The following actions are taken next:

1. The intended bite site is treated with alcohol-containing solutions. This is done to prevent the invasion of the local bacterial flora at the site of the bite.
2. The specialist takes the bee with tweezers and applies the insect to the selected area.
3. After the bite has occurred, the poisonous apparatus of the bee is intact for 10 minutes, after which it is removed.
4. The wound is treated with an ointment containing hydrocortisone.
5. In the next half hour, the patient is in a supine position, not moving. At this time, all the necessary substances and enzymes of the poison are released at the site of the bite.

After 20-30 minutes, patients begin to feel a decrease in pain, muscle relaxation, since apitoxin tends to be quickly absorbed and distributed through the blood.

The highest effect of treatment with insect venom is achieved in combination with other bee products. After the session, the patient is recommended to apply propolis plates, which are fixed with a regular adhesive plaster. Propolis, interacting with the skin, complements the effect of relieving pain.

Apitherapy is also combined with honey compresses. By applying a compress to the area of ​​​​the hernia, it helps to relieve swelling and inflammation. Honey that is applied to the affected area contains many vitamins, including B vitamins. These biologically active substances play a key role in restoring the nervous system, which has succumbed to the destructive effect of a hernia.

Contraindications

It should be remembered that apitoxin is still a poison that can cause complications against the background of existing diseases.

Contraindications for the treatment of intervertebral hernia include:

• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• congenital intolerance to poisons and other products associated with it;
• gross infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, meningitis;
• stage of exacerbation of diseases;
• subjectively poor condition, fatigue;
• disorders of the central nervous system;

Lumbar hernia cannot be treated on its own. During the process, the patient must be under the supervision of a qualified specialist who has certain knowledge of treatment methods. It is important to remember that apitoxin therapy is not the main way in the treatment of hernia pathology, but is considered only an additional step towards a complete cure.
