Abstract
Apiterapi, bal arısı (Apis mellifera L.) ürünleri olan bal, polen, propolis, arı ekmeği (bee bread), arı sütü ve arı zehirinin hastalıkların tedavisinde veya önlenmesinde kullanılması olarak tanımlanabilir. Bal, yüksek enerjili ve karbonhidratlı bir madde olması, tadı, aroması ve diğer üstün özellikleri nedeniyle insanlar tarafından besin ve enerji kaynağı olarak en iyi bilinen ve tüketilen arı ürünüdür. Çeşitli bal türleri halk arasında birçok hastalığa karşı tedavi amacıyla da kullanılmaktadır. Balın kimyasal içeriği ve geleneksel tıpta kullanımı konusundaki çalışmalara giderek artan bir ilgi oluşmaktadır. Her geçen gün sonuçlanan araştırmalar balın insan sağlığı açısından faydalarını doğrulamakta ve apiterapik önemini artırmaktadır.
Apitherapy could be termed as the use of honey, pollen, propolis, bea bread, royal jelly, and, bee venom which are the products made by honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) to cure or prevent diseases. Various forms of apitherapy have been used by many cultures since ancient times. Honey is the best known and the most consumed bee product by human for being a high energy food and containing carbohydrates, its taste, aroma and having other superior characteristics. Several honey types are utilized in folk medicine for the purpose of cure against many conditions. Studies on chemical composition and usage of honey in traditional medicine have become increasingly interesting. Researches resulting with each passing day confirm the benefits of honey in terms of human health and also enhance its importance in apitherapy. In our country, with knowing that bee products are useful for health, researches on the medicinal properties of these products have not been made sufficiently. The present study was undertaken to review the use of honey in apitherapy for alternative remedies.
