About the event
Explore the rich history and modern science that validate the use of honeybee products for health. We will trace the use of Apitherapy from ancient civilizations like Egypt and Greece, to the work of Hippocrates, and the 20th-century American pioneers like Bodog Beck and Charles Mraz. The core of this session is an exploration of the healing mechanisms: how apitherapy improves circulation, decreases inflammation, and stimulates a healthy immune response. We will also discuss the concept of combination therapy, utilizing multiple bee products with herbs and essential oils for targeted healing.
