Apiterapi ve Sağlık

Apiterapi, Latince arı anlamına gelen apis kelimesinden türetilmiş bir kelimedir. Apiterapi uygulaması yüzlerce yıl önceye dayanmaktadır. Antik Mısır ve Çin’de hekimlerin günümüzden 4 bin yıl önce bazı arı ürünlerini kullandıklarını gösteren belgeler bulunmaktadır. Apiterapi, sağlığın korunması ve hastalıkların tedavisinde etkili bir yöntem olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu yöntemdekullanılan başlıca ürünler, bal, apilarnil, propolis, arı sütü ve pergadır. Apiterapide kullanılan bu ürünlerin genellikle antibakteriyel, antioksidan, antiinflamatuar, vazodilatif ve antitümör etki gibi çok önemli etkilere sahip olduğu bilinmektedir. Olumlu etkilerinin yanı sıra apiterapi ürünlerinin bazılarının kullanımının allerjik reaksiyona sebep olabileceği de çalışmalarda gösterilmiştir. Sonuç olarak güvenilir kaynaklardan elde edilen bu besin maddelerinin kullanımının sağlık üzerine yararlı etkileri bulunmaktadır.

Apitherapy and Health

Apitherapy is a word derived from the Latin word apis, meaning bee. Apitherapy application dates back hundreds of years. There are documents showing that physicians in Ancient Egypt and China used some bee products 4 thousand years ago. Apitherapy is used as an effective method for maintaining health and treating diseases. The main products used in this method are honey, apilarnil, propolis, royal jelly and perga. These products used in apitherapy are generally known to have very important effects such as antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, vasodilating and antitumor effects. In addition to its positive effects, studies have shown that the use of some apitherapy products may cause an allergic reaction. As a result, the use of these nutrients obtained from reliable sources has beneficial effects on health.
