This brutality happens every year, Dantesque, bloody slaughter in the Faroe Islands, which belongs to Denmark. A country supposedly ‘civilized’ and a EUROPEAN UNION country.For many people this cruel practice is unknown, how insensitive!

This bloody slaughter is just to attend Moz to ’show’ entering adulthood! It’s absolutely incredible that nobody dares to do something to prevent this barbaric act that is committed against Calderon, an intelligent dolphin who has the peculiarity of approaching people out of sheer curiosity.

On a group of islands just north of Europe,

the traditional bloody whale and dolphin slaughter takes place every year. The Faroe Islands are a part of Denmark, where whaling is banned, but they have laws that are independent of Denmark’s laws, so they are allowed to continue with this mass execution. Year after year, thousands of pilot whales, beaked whales and dolphins are chased into the bay by boats, where they are slaughtered.

Metal hooks are driven into the stranded mammals’ blowholes before their spines are cut. The animals slowly bleed to death. Whole families are slaughtered, and some whales swim around in their family members’ blood for hours. Whales and dolphins are highly intelligent creatures and feel pain and fear every bit as much as we do.

Forward this to everyone, PLEASE! Let the whole world know, AND MAYBE IT WILL REACH SOMEONE WHO CAN PUT A STOP TO THIS RIGHT NOW…

Wild Ferns the exciting new range from Parrs Skin care new improved products which are now even better and more natural than ever before.

All products are paraben, mineral oil and, lanolin free and are suitable for the most senative of skins.

Another remarkabale remarkable change to the product is the quality and assurance that only the highest quality of manuka honey is tested and constistantly used in the Manuka Honey beauty range.  And a new rating has been  tademarked and used to consistantly control it’s quality.

Manuka is a flowering tea tree native to New Zealand. The honey that is collected from these flowers has long been renowned for its remarkable beneficial properties.

Honey contains special antibacterial properties including an enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide, which is a proven antiseptic.

Manuka honey has higher levels of this enzyme thereby containing a greater level of antiseptic and antibacterial properties. It is extremely rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals and has the outstanding ability to nourish, soothe and heal sensitive skin.

Manuka honey also contains active antioxidants that neutralise free radicals which are responsible for skin cell damage. Manuka honey assists in the growth of new cell and tissue regeneration making it the perfect ingrediant for skin care products

Wild Ferns Manuka Honey skincare products all contain Active AAH 650+ (Active Antibacterial Antioxidant Honey 650+), a uniquely tested manuka honey. The honey is trademarked and strictly controlled to ensure only the best manuka products contain it. It was developed following extensive research by Dr Geoffrey Savage, Associate Professor of Food Biochemistry at Lincoln University in Canterbury, New Zealand. Dr Savage is one of New Zealand’s leading authorities on the health benefits of honey and antioxidants. He and his team found that active AAH 650+ manuka honey contained extremely high, naturally occurring levels of antibacterial activity and antioxidants — far more than any other honey varietals.

The method used to test the antibacterial activity of active AAH 650+ manuka honey is completely different to the more commonly recognised UMF honey. It is a scientifically-proven method of testing that measures the same thing as UMF (antibacterial activity in honey), but is completely reliable and gives consistent, repeatable results every time. This means that only jars of active AAH 650+ manuka honey are guaranteed to contain active honey, and that the honey contained is active to the level stated on the packaging (650+).

The scale of measuring the antibacterial activity in active AAH 650+ manuka honey is also different to that of UMF. The active AAH activity range is 470-650+. For UMF, the activity range is 8-25+. With both testing methods, the higher the number, the more antibacterial activity the honey contains and the better it is for natural healing. For active AAH manuka honey, 650+ is the highest possible level of antibacterial activity the honey can have, and is equivalent to the highest commonly available UMF rating.

Active AAH 650+ Manuka Honey is not only high in antibacterial activity, it is also extremely high in antioxidants. As already mentioned, antioxidants neutralise free radicals in the environment. These free radicals are caused by everyday environmental factors such as air, sunlight and pollution. They have been medically recognised as the cause of degenerative skin diseases such as wrinkles and skin discolourations, and can damage cells and harm the immune system. It is believed that using products that are high in antioxidants can help prevent or limit these negative effects.

Users of manuka honey skin care products are  experiencing astounding results as manuka honey helps rebuild and repair the skin rather than just focusing on eliminating the problem periodically. It works by feeding the skin of essential nutrients, assisting a healthy growth of the skin, protecting the skin from free radicals, and locking in the moisture.

Wild Ferns Manuka Honey Products are Guanteed Quality if you are not 100% happy we would be happy to refund you if full.

WELL IT’S SUMMER AGAIN.

The time we forget about everything we’ve learnt this year about being healthy and diet go out the window. A time we think it’s an excuse to indulge in the extra bar of chocolate or that extra drink after that extra drink it’s nice to be young or to feel you again.

Unfortunately there can be some undesired side effects after having a few to many.

A lot of people who are reading will be sitting there smug thinking the ‘hear of the dog’ and it is scientifically proven does work. But it’s only delays gratification sooner or later you are going to have to give in and admit you lost. Either that or call AA.

When you do finally give into the fact that your not as young as you used to be. Here are a few tips

I can recommend which might help the recovery process. But no guarantees.

Dependant on how much you did drink last night some of these may be the last thing you feel like but they are just what the body needs to aid the recovery.

Water

First and foremost this is what your body needs to combat dehydration and rid you body of any free radicals. It seems odd that the amount of liquid I drank last no how could I possibly be dehydrated. Well I’m sure you are aware that bladder activity increased dramatically last night, due to the poison in your desired drink you were more than likely excreting more than you drank. It’s also required to flush your body of any toxins. A glass of water should be consumed for very drink that you consumed the night before if you can’t remember just drink plenty they say you should be drink 2 litres a day any way but for today drink more. You body will also be crying out for a lack of salt so maybe a glass or 2 with a teaspoon of salt might help ease the pain.

B-vitamins
Take vitamin B before you go to bed and let them work their magic while you sleep. If you forget, take them as soon as you wake up. They an easily absorbed vitamin which help the carbohydrate metabolising process and will help restore your energy level they also help to enhance immune and nervous system function . A high potency B-complex supplement for this remedy complex should help you recover.

Bananas

Bananas are a excellent source of magnesium and your highest source of natural potassium which will become severely depleted by your intake of ethanol. They are also very high in electrolytes excellent for breaking down and help your body get rid of the build up of toxins. Have a few bananas before you hit the sack and keep consuming the day after.

Honey
Honey is an excellent all round food it full of potassium and fructose which just like vitamin B helps your body metabolise and counteracts the effects of the alcohol. Manuka honey has additional properties which help assist the immune system and also settle any stomach discomfort so may be more beneficial but any honey is better than nothing. Dependant on the quality of the honey you are taking a teaspoon per hour should help relieve any stomach discomfort and get you back into action.

Honey and Banana Milkshake
When these powers combine they may make an excellent brew to settle your stomach, build up your blood sugar levels, break down the alcohol in you system as well as replacing essential fluids vitamins and minerals, to get you back on track and ready for the house work.

Milk Thistle
Also known as silymarin which is the active compound from the plant. Milk thistle is a herb which is used to cleanse and greatly improve the liver function, it helps protects liver cells from alcohol by helping to remove existing toxins. By taking a couple of capsules before meal, during drinking and even the morning after you will be helping the body deal with metabolism of the alcohol.
And if you are thinking of going on a detox for your new years resolution Milk Thistle would be an excellent choice to get that liver up and running again.

Tomato Juice
Tomato juice is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals full of antioxidants to protect the body from the toxins and also contains fructose to again help metabolise the alcohol more quickly.

And if you just can’t handle the pain would be the best option for hair of the dog in a Bloody Mary take it easy on the vodka though as your time will come.

These are some of the options which are available freely from you local supermarket or health shop. If you do decide to head straight for the aspirin or pain killers try ‘fever few’ a natural herb which helps relieve headaches/pain and is just as effective as aspirin though can also be used to settle digestive complaints which aspirin is not recommended, as it is very hard on the stomach.

Basically what your body is telling you when you are hung over apart from the point that you drank too much last night, is the fact you are dehydrated, lacking vitamins and minerals salts and sugars and your body needs to rid it’s self of toxins. So basically if you can thing you can counteract any of these ailments you may recognise some form of relief. There are many electrolyte drinks and mineral drinks available which are full of just what you body needs though a lot of these are carbonated which may not be the best thing for an upset stomach.

There are always the good hot drinks old coffee and tea to pick me up with a good caffeine boost if you are into you hot drinks there will be no holding you back anyway. Beware though that caffeine acts as a diuretic which the same as alcohol will assist your bladder in releasing fluid so it is not going to assist you in retaining you fluids

I hope these tips help anyway I have found a lot of them do work a treat from time to time dependant on the amount consumed the night before. But if you really don’t want to take the risk of spending a day feeling sorry for yourself drink sensibly and have a few glasses of water either during your session or just before you go to bed along with some vitamin B.

The CRUEL REALITY OF ANIMAL TESTING

Synthetic Cosmetic Products – Are you supporting animal testing?

I know not everyone believes that the exploitation of animals is wrong.

As an example, many people eat animal products. There are a small minority that still wear furs and a vast number of people take medicinal products in the full knowledge that they may well have been perfected and safety tested through animal experimentation.

Whether one agrees or disagrees with people in these categories is a matter of personal viewpoint, but what can’t really be disputed is that in the majority of the above cases the people concerned have made a choice.

It isn’t really possible to buy and wear a ‘real’ fur without being clear that the making of it probably involved killing an animal. Similarly with many foodstuffs such as meat or fish, one can’t really eat them without knowing that they come from animals.

Even with prescribed medicines, although a pill or liquid doesn’t immediately communicate its origin, this whole area receives such constant publicity in the media that for me at least it would be difficult to believe that most people do not understand that animal testing is probably involved at some stage.

In the case of synthetic cosmetics though, the position is different. The power and financial influence of the major

OUR FRIEND

global corporate cosmetics companies is truly awesome. Their advertising budgets are vast and the TV and papers are constantly full of their publicity and ‘positive spin’ ads. What is even more interesting is that large numbers of these ads and articles try to link their product to ‘nature’ and ‘natural’ – cue the images of forests, waterfalls, beautiful models frolicking on a pristine beach and cuddly pet animals sitting on a couch watching admiringly as their owners apply whatever the product is.

Although there is some negative publicity and media comment about the realities of certain synthetic cosmetic production processes, this is often totally submerged and drowned by the outpourings of the mega-companies and their vast budgets.

I think this is a great pity because as a result the consumer can fail to understand two critically important things:

• Some synthetic cosmetics are based upon artificial compounds that may involve animal exploitation during testing
• It isn’t necessary! There are natural cosmetic products available that do not involve the creation of artificial chemical compounds and their subsequent testing on animals and ar just as good if not better.
  

It is true that many major cosmetic manufacturers now say they do not test on animals. It is also true that the European Parliament plans to ban cosmetic animal testing in 2009, but this is not entirely the whole story. Many of the chemicals used in synthetic products are sourced from third-party companies where the guarantees are far less clear. If these companies are outside of the EU then those humane laws may be difficult to apply.

The easy way to avoid indecision and uncertainty is to look for those cosmetic products that are based upon 100% natural ingredients and which offer a ‘no animal testing’ guarantee. You can be sure that no animal has had to suffer for your convenience.

Stop Animal Testing

LINDEN LEAVES SUPPORTING ANIMAL RIGHTS

It never occurred to me as I a woke early Saturday morning that things may never be the same again.

I a woke to my wife tossing and turning and a feeling that something was not right.

I prompted the question are you OK dear her answer was normal but obviously up set. ‘I think I have toselitus’ Far from a doctor my suspicions arose. Tonsillitis your voice sounds fine maybe a little stiffly but I’m not sure about your diagnosis.

Any way I left her be she was working that day I was not for once I had the Saturday off so I relaxed and went back to sleep and allowed her to proceed to get changed.

Next thing I awoke to a rattle at the door. I had fallen a sleep and by the time my wife had arrived at work her tonsillitis had really set in. And she decided she had to return home to relax and rest.

I went straight to the medical cabinet and got the Manuka Honey. Flavoured Manuka honey this one was. Boysenberry 15 UMF just the thing to kick that nasty tonsillitis in the butt. One tea spoon of this washed down by a glass of filtered water. The results were astounding comments of instant relief. I concluded her comments with the reason of this was that because of the viscosity of the honey if gently laid a a lining around the effected area soothing the throat.

The day went on the comments got worse. Aches and pains, screaming head ache. Back to the medical cabinet I grabbed the Bee Venom Balm and gave her a nice massage to break down any tensions. Again she commented on the instant relief. So again I serenaded her with my knowledge. telling her that bee Venom had been used for centuries to treat such aliments as arthritis, rheumatism, back pain, skin diseases and was just what she need to cure her aches and pains instant relief and it’s also excellent for the skin. Though she nodded silently as she nodded off to sleep.

As she was resting I something occurred to me. I have experienced  these symptoms before. The aching head, the aching bones, the sleepless nights and I was sure I had come down with tonsillitis but this was worse. I know this because I tried to explain that I knew how she felt. But she concluded ‘This is worse trust me’!! The poor thing.

She had contracted the dreaded Man Flu.

What was once thought to only effect the Man had now mutated into such a form that the female is now susceptible to infection and this case was serious. Something I knew the general antibiotic was no match for, the only cure true known cure was rest, relaxation,  and sex. That’s right people sex it may cause only temporary relief but it seemed to do the trick.

It’s funny that any other serious illness and diseases such as man flu, sex would be the last thing on someones mind but this is the big tell tail sign of Man Flu. In such times of genuine fatigue the human body was definitely in a state of agony. A glass of water seemed like a painful marathon. But some how the human body  brings on a reserved fuel source to run up the stairs energy for sex. This truly is an amazing survival strategy.

Dating back to the Roman times Man flu has hindered man kind and baffled doctors what seems to be a common cold or a runny shows far greater symptoms and lasts any thing from a couple of days to weeks sometimes even months.  And there is no well know cure Manuka honey has show signs of relieving the symptoms in some cases but even this is no match, constant pampering, complete rest research has proven to be the best cure. Clinical tests have proven that people are more likely to contract the dreaded Man Flu during times of stress though other than this very little is know and cases can vary considerably from person.

Beware people and be vigilant for the tell tale signs. This is a very true story based on true life events.

Man flu is mutating and women are now susceptible the world will never be the same again

Now, which body would you rather have? A fit and healthy physique requires an overall commitment to fitness. Muscles just don’t happen, and fat and flab don’t just disappear. Eating a diet low in fat and sugar and high in protein will fuel the workouts you will need to commit to consistently in order to burn away the flab and reveal rock hard muscles.

As your fitness and health routine takes shape and gets off the ground, you will find that your overall health will improve as well. A strict diet and dedication to cardio exercise combined with a fitness workout is the only thing that will work to bring out your toned and defined muscles. This really cannot be stressed enough.

The best fitness and health regimen will incorporate things you enjoy doing. If you’re a runner, run. If you like a good, hard fought, sweating game of basketball, then go find a pick-up game or get involved in a routine. If you are short on time, maybe a 30 to 45 minute elliptical routine is more your speed. Whatever it is you enjoy for cardio workouts do it. Nothing else will help carve out those muscles like diet and cardio.

Fitness and health go hand in hand. Think about it, fit people are generally thought of as healthy. Working out helps your heart, your circulation, your stress levels and so many other factors that affect your health. As your muscles strengthen, your metabolic rate rises, helping your body to burn calories faster and more efficiently.

Being fit does not have any drawbacks and it can only enhance your quality of life. You will have more energy, a better BMI, and overall better health. A positive outlook can be achieved through better health and fitness. Starting and maintaining a health and fitness regimen is the first step towards creating the toned and fit body you’ve always wanted. Stop and think of how well all that extra strength and energy will serve you in your day to day life. Your stamina will improve right alongside your health.

HERE’S A FEW HELPFUL TIPS TO GET YOU STARTED

At first glance, it’s perhaps not too easy to see what the link is between these two subjects.

Yet they are related. That’s because when times are tough, there is a natural tendency to start thinking about ‘cutting back’ on expenditure. It may well be that skin and health care products in general, suddenly all seem a little bit of a luxury if you and others around you are perhaps worried about job security, bills and the mortgage.

That is where false economies can start to be made because in reality your health and appearance can be critically important in defining in part how you cope with downturns and recessions.

Skin Care & Health

Nobody doubts that maintaining your skin in healthy condition is part of a sensible plan for overall health. Recent studies have shown, for example, how your skin plays a critical role in helping protect you against harmful UV rays and allergens in the atmosphere.

Whatever else you may wish to economise on during hard times, health and well being shouldn’t be included. The effects of the recession will not last forever – the effects of allowing your skin to deteriorate certainly could.

Skin Care & Psychology

When times are tough, part of the art of survival is feeling good about yourself.Appearance and health are a large part of that. If you look in the mirror and your reflection shows dry and unhealthy skin then both consciously and subconsciously you’re going to feel bad about yourself. You may also find that if you’re unhappy with the way you look then you’ll also see many other aspects of life around you as being gloomier than they actually are.

How you tackle the outside world is influenced by how self-confident you are, and few people are going to feel self-confident if their skin is not in good condition. You are not likely to project the ‘real you’ in important personal or professional situations if you’re feeling depressed about your appearance.

Perceptions Of Others

Many books will say piously that appearance isn’t important and it’s what’s inside you that counts. That is true in your medium to longer-term relationships. Sadly though, you may never get the opportunity to show your true self because for decades studies have shown that both professionally and personally people are quickly judged on their initial appearance.

While your friends and those you know well may understand the ‘real you’, people who only deal with you infrequently or that are meeting you for the first time will form powerful impressions based upon how you look – and these impressions can be VERY hard to change.

As an example, if your skin is looking tired and jaded it can communicate all the wrong messages to people around you, and in a recession that is not a good idea.

In a business environment tough decisions are sometimes going to be made about who stays and who does not. These decisions are frequently made not by your friends and immediate colleagues, but instead by people who do not know you well and that you only see occasionally.

If their perception is that you are looking tired and jaded then it may well influence their thought processes even if they are not aware of it. It may not be ‘fair’ but it is a fact of life and has been demonstrated again and again in studies.

It’s also worth remembering that when times are hard, it is also tricky to find that new job or secure that promotion.

Once again, appearance can be critical in these situations. As noted above, people who do not look as though they are taking care of themselves do not create a good impression during interviews when, for the most part, they’re dealing with people who do not know them.

Summary

For all these reasons, health, self-confidence, and the perceptions of others, it is important that you continue to look after yourself especially your skin – however gloomy times are. Don’t be sidetracked by the siren calls of false economies in this area – your skin counts, so respect it and look after it!

Beauty is important to most people in this day in age people are doing any thing for that natural perfect bronze tan and to do this they are willing to risk anything.

The lastest addition to the club of the wish ‘I had a better tan’ treatments is Melotan it being sold with out prescrition and is untested and it’s a hormone booster which should be enough to scare the general public off.

The drug is being sold over the internet and through out UK tanning salons and gyms. Though the drug has never been offically tested and is not a licenced product.

The Watch dog Medicines and Health Care Products Regulataory Agencys (MHRA) have contacted 18 companies explaining that the advertisng or sales of Melotan is Illegal and needs to be stopped

There are two types of Melanotan - Melanotan I and Melanotan II. They work by increasing the levels of ‘melanin’ which is the body’s natural protection from the sun, resulting in a suntan.

Adverse side effects have been common such as nausea, vomiting, hot flushes, and adnormal skin pigmenation patches. As the product is injected there are also serious needle safety issues to consider.
There is no research to say how safe, effective or just how serious the side effects may be.

David Carter, Head of the Medicines Borderline Section at the MHRA said; ‘We are warning people not to use this product. Don’t be fooled into thinking that Melanotan offers a shortcut to a safer and more even tan. The safety of these products is unknown and they are unlicensed in the UK.

Becareful people and be healthy you only have one body.

Your health is important and you don’t know what you’ve got till its gone.

Keep it Natural.

Are Natural Products Really Better For Your Skin?

It’s no secret that the main ingredients in most skincare products include a multitude of harsh chemicals, including salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and other hard-to-spell chemical compounds. Just flip over a bottle of your favourite face cream or body wash, and the truth will be right there in the ingredients. Now you have an idea as to why these products warn of side effects, like irritation or skin peeling.

But even though many individuals are well aware of the chemicals in these products, and the side effects they will inevitably leave behind, people are still using these dangerous regimens. Their main reason? Results.
For some reason, these individuals believe that the only way to achieve the skin they’ve been dreaming of is through applying unnatural, unsafe chemicals - and they’re terribly wrong. Natural skin products are not only safer and better for your skin, but they produce better results every time, without the painful side effects:

Natural Products Produce Better Results

Chemical-infused beauty products get by acknowledging there are dangerous substances in their products - but they work. And yes, it’s true that some harsh chemicals do produce the results they claim to, but only through irritation and burning. The truth is, not only do natural beauty products also work, they usually work better than the chemicals that unnatural beauty products depend on. A lot of these products would not be safe to use on a babies skin. Why? Because of the harse chemical they are using.

Chemicals Could Be The Cause Your Skin Problems

Yes, believe it: your skin problems can often times actually be the result of the very same chemicals found in your cleanser or moisturiser. It’s true that many people treat their hangovers with a cocktail the next morning, but the same theory definitely does not apply to skin problems. If chemicals are the root of your severe acne or dry skin, you’re not going to solve the problem with the problem. Naturally-made skin care products don’t cause the skin care problems that chemically friendly products do, so it’s perfectly safe to use them on your skin, face, and anywhere else.

Made From Natural Ingredients You Know And Recognise

Unlike cleansers full of chemical names you could never spell, natural beauty products are made from every day items you know and use. Fruits and vegetables, plants and herbs, and other naturally-made ingredients are products that you eat, drink, or use in your daily life. So when you find beauty products made from these products, you know exactly what you are putting on your skin.

Natural Products Encourage Natural Body Processes

Naturally-made skin care products can boost the skin’s natural process of cell renewal, cell hydration and oxygenation - all natural processes that increase your skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles and blemishes, and give you that natural glow that no chemically-induced cosmetic can reproduce. Because natural ingredients contain natural actives, they work with your skin to create results, not against it like chemicals. This is why most dermatologists will steer those with sensitive skin towards natural products - but the benefits can be had by anyone, regardless of your skin type.

Unnatural Products Are Often Rejected By Your Body

Do you ever wonder what those red bumps or that burning sensation you develop with the use of a harsh chemical cleanser is the product of? Most people chalk it up to an allergic reaction, but it’s actually the human body rejecting the chemical. It’s foreign to your system, and your body sees it as a threat to your health, so it tries to attack it at the source. If that sounds scary, well, it is! Natural ingredients are better suited for the human body, because your body will accept the ingredients as part of its own chemistry. That’s why people who have “allergic” reactions to chemically-induced products turn to natural products to cure the problem.

Natural Will Always Be Superior To Synthetic

It’s true in every aspect of life: you choose natural fibres in your clothing to synthetic, you prefer real, homemade meals to quick food full of preservatives and fat; why wouldn’t you choose natural over synthetic in your skin care products? Whenever you have the option to choose the natural product over a synthesized version, it only makes sense to choose natural. You do it with everything else in life, and your skin care products shouldn’t be any different.

It Makes Sense To Fight Natural With Natural

Acne, blackheads, blemishes, and oil are all naturally-occurring skin problems. The best way to fight natural problems is with a natural solution. Chemicals can offer a temporary solution, but in a harsh way - acne problems are usually combated with chemicals that strip your face of its natural oils, and dry your skin out. Natural products, on the other hand, offer the natural opponent to acne and skin problems, and don’t fight skin problems by ruining and stripping your skin.

Natural Products Are Better For The Environment

When you use skin care products made up from chemicals, you could be doing some damage to the environment just by using them, let alone disposing of them. Natural products don’t cause this problem - they’re natural! Because they come from nature, they don’t destroy nature when they’re reintroduced. Using natural products and disposing of natural products is much easier on the environment than their chemical counterparts.

Dozens of plants, herbs, fruits, and other naturally-occurring items have changed the way that skin care products are made. Ingredients like manuka honey, one of the most prized honeys in the world, come in dozens of varieties to tackle hundreds of skin care issues, from acne to dry sky and everything in between. No chemical or synthetic copy can come close to the real thing.

This isn’t anything that you don’t already know, but it’s probably something you haven’t thought about. But whether you’re dealing with persistent skin problems, or you’re just looking for a better way to take care of yourself without causing further harm to the environment, then make the switch to a natural skin care regimen. Your skin, body, and even the environment, will be thanking you.

Another remarkable product which is produced from the amazing little honey bee is Bee Venom.

Its not a new fact but Bee Venom has slowly made is way into western medicine and it’s use is increasing to this day.

Chinese manuscipt talk of using be stings for over 2000 years to treat arthritis, rheumatism, back pain, skin diseases. In this modern age it has even been proven as an effective alternative therapy to treat multiple sclerosis, lyme disease and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Melittin, a polypeptide, makes up 50 per cent of the dry weight of bee venom and is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory agents known. It works in the body by stimulating the release of cortisol, a natural steroid hormone, secreted by your adrenal cortex. Melittin also has antioxidant properties and has been found to lower blood pressure.

Bee Venom therapy is praticed by health practioners and apiatherapists who inject bee Venom into the patient who would first be checked to see if there is an alergic reaction.

As Normal as a bee sting there would generally be some swelling. Infact the more the better it would mean a greater resistance, therefore a greater production of cortisol and a faster recovery.

These days there are various products available on the market with excellent some excellent results reviews. These products can be taken orally or used topically with out the adverse side effects and swelling though if you do have an allergy to bees it’s best keep away.
