Description

Subtitled The Poison of the Honey Bee, Considered as a Therapeutic Agent, Apis Mellifica is among the first essays to discuss the therapeutic potentials in using honey bee venom to cure various illnesses and physical conditions. Written by C. W. Wolf, one of the pioneers of homeopathic medicine and a physician who had a medical praxis in Germany where he used bee venom successfully on his own patients for decades, the essay is rooted in experience just as much as in research.

The book was first published in 1858, more than a decade after another respected doctor, Dr. E. E. Marcy successfully used dried, powdered bees on a patient suffering from a severe kidney edema. Marcy’s essay was translated to German and it was probably this translation that inspired Wolf to try using bee venom on is patients. Wolf used not only dried bees, but also a tincture he prepared from whole bees as an epidemic remedy as well as a remedy for conditions that involved intermittent fever such as malaria or septicemia – as a matter of fact, Wolf considered bee venom to be a polychrest, a drug that could cure many different, apparently unrelated illnesses and physical problems. His essay was translated to English the same year he wrote and it has been considered to be of seminal importance ever since.

Since the essay written by Dr. Wolf, bee venom has been studied and analyzed extensively. Medical scientists determined the exact composition of the venom and studies have confirmed its therapeutic value as well. Today, bee poison is administered in many ways, including tinctures, powders, and even through bee sting therapy, and it is used in the treatment of various conditions, including problems of the immune system, skin issues, infections, as well as for inflammations such as arthritis and rheumatism.
