Overview of Apitherapy Products: Anti-Cancer Effects of Bee Venom Used in Apitherapy

Year 2021, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 36 - 48, 15.04.2021

Abstract

While Brazil and the United States of America are in the first place in world Apitherapy research, our country is in the fifth place after Japan and China. While the studies on apitherapy are continuing rapidly in the world, it has started to become widespread in our country especially in 2014 with the regulation of traditional and complementary medicine practices, and Apitherapy units and application centers have started to be established. Apitherapy is the use of bee products to protect and improve health, to strengthen the immune system and to complement the treatment process of some diseases. While bee products such as honey, propolis, bee pollen have been known and used for a long time, studies on apilarnil, royal jelly and bee venom have started to increase in recent years. These products have been used both as foodstuffs and as a source of healing from wound healing to anticancer effect for many years due to their rich content. With scientific studies, the interest in apitherapy products has increased even more.
Cancer is known as the leading cause of death in our country and all over the world. Side effects, costs, etc. Such adverse conditions have led researchers to research natural treatment methods. These natural treatments are used to increase the effectiveness of existing traditional treatments. In this review, literature information about Apitherapy, which is one of the traditional and complementary medicine applications, chemical content and physiological effects of bee products, is given and the therapeutic effect of bee venom on cancer is mentioned. Studies on the anticancer activity of bee venom in almost all types of cancer have been conducted and promising results have been obtained. This situation indicates that this apitherapeutic product will take place as a supplement in cancer treatment in the near future.
