Treatment with the help of bee stings is based on the action of the poison, which enters the blood through the sting of insects. One of the main factors responsible for how effective and safe is apitherapy - the point of stinging. It is important not only their location, but also the number of treated areas in one session, especially with pronounced local reactions.
What points in apitherapy are suitable for bee stings?
Specialists use 2 methods for stinging:
- Planting the bee is carried out on the most painful and sensitive areas.
- Apitherapy is performed in accordance with the scheme of biologically active points on the body.
Both methods are highly effective, the choice of one of them depends on several factors:
- nature of the disease;
- the presence of swelling;
- presence of intense pain syndrome;
- sensitivity to bee venom;
- blood sugar and urine;
- allergic reactions.
Given the many other nuances that affect the appropriateness and method of treatment with apitherapy, to choose places for bites, their number and frequency, the duration of the course should only be set by a professional.
The points of sting for arthritis and apitherapy for joint diseases
For the impact on the musculoskeletal system, restoration of production and functioning of the cartilaginous tissue, the production of synovial fluid, bees are planted in the following zones:
- painful points over the joints;
- along the spinal column;
- the area around the affected joints.
Apitherapy also works well for rheumatism, arthrosis, osteochondrosis .
The number of insects used at the beginning of the course of treatment ranges from 2 to 6, depending on local reactions of sensitivity and the patient's condition. In the future, the number of bees increases.
Apitherapy of vessels and points of sting with varicose veins
The effect of bee venom in these situations is noticeable faster if toxins immediately enter the blood. Therefore, in vascular diseases, insects are planted in the direction of the flow of biological fluid in the affected limbs.
Severe blood flow disorders, plugging of veins, thrombophlebitis and varicose can be alleviated if the stinging occurs exactly over the swelling of the vessels and nodules.
Points of sting for apitherapy of nervous disorders
This area of disease involves planting bees in areas with a large number of nerve endings. The course of treatment is long enough for the effect of the poison to affect the entire peripheral nervous system.
There is also an additional point for stinging - in the center of the waist. This zone ensures the ingestion of bee toxins (apitoxins) into the lymphatic fluid.
General strengthening biological points in apitherapy
The main scheme for planting bees includes areas on the outside of the shoulder of both hands (from the shoulder joint to the elbow) and the outer side of the thigh of both legs (from the femur to the line 10 cm above the knee joint).
These areas are biological active segments, from where the apitoxin most quickly enters the circulatory and lymphatic system. It is important that bites along these lines are not too painful and, as a rule, are well tolerated by patients, without causing allergic reactions of hypersensitivity, severe side effects in the form of local body temperature increase, swelling of soft tissues and skin, swelling, and hyperemia.
In addition, with common apitherapy, stitching points are used on the back (waist, spine), in the navel zone (next to, around it), behind the ears, near the temples and the inner thighs.
