Treatment with bee products and bee venom

Apiterapija je znanost koja se bavi upotrebom pčelinjih proizvoda u prevenciji i liječenju brojnih bolesti i stanja te očuvanje i jačanje zdravlja. Apiterapija je alternativna metoda liječenja te se smatra kao dopunska metoda standardnim načinima liječenja. Pčelinji su proizvodi od davnina poznati čovječanstvu u gotovo svim civilizacijama te su još od tada zadovoljavali različite ljudske potrebe u liječenju, prehrani i kozmetici. Svakodnevna konzumacija pčelinjih proizvoda sve više postaje kultura življenja, no i dalje nedovoljno. Cilj rada bio je istražiti koliko ljudi vjeruju u ljekovitost pčelinjih proizvoda, jesu li konzumirali ili pokušali pčelinje proizvode koristiti kao dopunsku metodu liječenja određenih bolesti te bi li se okušali u metodama liječenja primjenom apiinhalacija i pčelinjeg otrova. Dobivenim rezultatima ankete možemo zaključiti kako u Hrvatskoj nažalost liječenje pčelinjim proizvodima nije toliko rasprostranjeno kao u drugim državama te se svakako treba podizati svijest ljudi o prirodnim načinima liječenja.Apitherapy is a science that deals with the use of bee products in the prevention and treatment of many diseases and conditions, as well as the preservation and strengthening of health. Apitherapy is an alternative method of treatment and is considered as a complementary method to standard treatments. Bee products have been known to mankind in akmost all civilizations. They are used in treatment, nutrition and cosmetics. Daily consumption of bee products is increasingly becoming a culture of living, but still insufficient. The aim oft he study was to investigate how many people believe int he healing properties of bee products, whether they have consumed or tried to use bee products as a complementary method of treatment for certain diseases and whether they would try treatment methods using apiinhalation and bee venom. Based on the results oft he survey, we can conclude that in Croatia, unfortunately, treatment with bee products is not as widespread as in other contries, and we should certainly raise people's awareness of natural methods of treatment
