BVT (bee venom therapy) has been used and studied for thousands of years as a form of alternative medicine for its potential to ease join pain/arthritis, reduce chronic inflammation and manage symptoms of autoimmune and neurological conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. There are also many recent studies showing potential in helping to ease symptoms of Lyme disease.
How does BVT work? The active component in the venom, melittin, helps lower inflammation markers in conditions such a rheumatoid arthritis. when stung, your body naturally floods that area with white blood cells to help heal the sting, and in the process, the area receives tremendous healing. You can usually expect some swelling in the sting site, but as the swelling from the sting dissipates, the deep healing occurs.
Do the bees die with they sting? Yes, they do. The way we can wrap our heads around this and be comfortable with having a few bees die is in seeing the tremendous healing that occurs when they are sacrificed. Also, we only use older bees for BVT. Most of a honey bees life is spent inside the hive. The last “job” a bee has is to forage for nectar and pollen. We only collect bees that are outside their hives to use for BVT. Our queen bees lay between 2000 and 3000 eggs each day, so there are plenty of bees left in the hives!
How many stings does a person need to be healed? This really depends on how chronic the condition is, how long you’ve experienced it and how your body reacts to the venom. Many people receive tremendous healing after one sting and there are some who have recurring stings every week in order to achieve the benefits they’re wanting.
