Have you ever suffered from a serious backache and felt like you could not move so you rely on the only quick remedy you know: Bee stings.
So you run to the bee hive on your roof eave and start running wildly with the hive so the bees will be beyond furious and have them stinging and your backache gone in no time.
Well your neighbor may be confused but with this new finding you may be pardoned from going to a mental clinic.
The bewildered neighbors will find out that bee stings may be the cure for a backache and more specifically, arthritis.
Apparently, this type of treatment has been used for centuries to treat rheumatoid arthritis but this is the first time there has been a scientific explanation for the effect of the venom to the human body.
The use of bee stings for medicinal purposes is called Bee Sting Therapy, or Apitherapy, and has been used to treat other conditions such as asthma and multiple sclerosis.
Scientist have found that not only do certain elements in the bee venom help with inflammation and pain but also cause the body to release natural healing compounds.
Inflammation in joints that cause rheumatoid arthritis can be controlled by bee venom, according to recent studies.
Glucocorticoids are anti-inflammatory hormones that regulate inflammation in the human body.
Bee venom contains molecules that can increase levels of these hormones.
This new discovery has given hope to many arthritis patients that believe new treatments will be developed to provide relief to the pain caused by arthritis.
Scientists also believe that this treatment will also serve as a preventative method for these types of diseases.
Researchers warn that this could be the beginning of a long process of experiments before a clinical application can be distributed to the public.
So for now, jumping into a swarm of provoked bees in hopes that your muscle inflammation will be cured is at your own risk.
Hopefully in a few years, scientists will have further investigated this treatment and moved forward finding an effective way to apply the antidote in a much more controlled environment.
