HEALTH Health from the hive Honey bee good… Visit any artisan market and you’ll probably find a stall selling honey and related products — but we are far from the first to utilise the healing properties of everything bee. In fact, apitherapy — to use the proper term — was practised centuries ago in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, while honey was still being used to fight infection in the early twentieth century. As our ancestors knew, raw honey is anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. The key word, though, is raw, as filtered or pasteurised honeys do not offer the same benefits. Even raw honeys vary in potency, with medically licensed Manuka one of the best known. As well as eradicating over 250 strains of bacteria, raw honey has been found to heal wounds and can be used on mild burns and sunburn. It’s a natural cough syrup, and can also treat cold sores, herpes and dandruff. And it’s not the only bee product with healing powers. Bee pollen, which bees make to feed their young, has equally impressive credentials. With a protein content of around 40 per cent, a single teaspoon takes a bee a whole month to gather. Containing nearly all the nutrients we require, bee pollen has been used to speed recovery from chronic illness, reduce cravings, stabilise weight, improve digestion and fight infection. Most commonly, though, it is an effective hayfever remedy — although it must be made locally and taken for at least six weeks before the season begins. Propolis is a waxy resin manufactured by bees from leaf buds and used to disinfect the hive, repair cracks, and even to embalm intruders. It is the most powerful natural antioxidant known, and is also antimicrobial, analgesic, anaesthetic and anti-inflammatory. Used for thousands of years, it can help prevent dental plaque, heal tumours and ulcers and soothe sore throats. Royal Jelly is another well-known bee product. All bee larvae are given some, but only one is fed exclusively on it, becoming queen and going on to live four times longer than the others, laying up to a million eggs. Containing a wealth of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes, it has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, and, perhaps because of its association with the queen bee, is often taken to boost fertility. It is also the only food known to contain 10-HDA, a fatty acid associated with enhanced learning abilities and improved memory. Finally, for those feeling brave, there is a sting in our tale. As the name suggests, bee venom therapy involves being repeatedly stung, and has been used to treat MS, Lyme disease, and arthritis. The venom entering the body increases red blood cell levels, and delivers an anti-inflammatory, which stimulates the immune system, relieving pain and promoting healing. Anita Hall 86
