Inhalation therapy with air from beehives is a relatively new method that is not yet widely known, but this does not prevent the results it gives to spread and this type of treatment to gain more and more interest.
Valuable substances such as essential oils, pollen, wax, propolis are produced and accumulated in the hive. The resulting bee air, combining the properties of all these ingredients, has a healing effect in diseases not only of the respiratory system. Regular therapy has an immunostimulating, tonic and even anti-inflammatory effect. Many patients also report its relaxing effect, writes puls.bg.
The bee air system consists of a house that can accommodate 3 to 5 patients at a time. It is associated with several hives that are only open to the outside. In this way, the patients do not have direct contact with the bees and, accordingly, there is no danger of stings.
Another important component is the inhalation devices, which suck the useful air from the hives without disturbing the activity of the bees.
In addition to treating diseases such as bronchitis, asthma or other chronic lung pathologies, this type of therapy is also used for weakened immune systems, chronic headaches and migraines, stress and even depression.
Before entering the lungs, the air from the hive is thoroughly purified in the complex, living laboratory of the hive, where it passes through a natural filter. Thanks to its treatment by the bee family with propolis and the released essential compounds, the air in the hive is completely sterile.
Studies show that after the procedures breathing becomes calmer, oxygen uptake is increased, thus improving the composition of the blood, normalizing blood pressure, increasing efficiency.
Experts recommend that the period of treatment with hive air be from three to twelve days, half an hour twice a day, and the effects of the therapy occur from six to eight weeks after the completion of apitherapy.
A team from Dresden has already identified over 50 different ingredients in the hive air. In addition, comparative studies have shown that compounds in bee air come mainly from beeswax (“propolis”) and beeswax, while stored honey has only a small contribution to the active ingredients of the healing air.
