Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda & Alternative Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5

Abstract

Honey Bees only sting as a defence mechanism when they feel directly threatened. Bees give it their all, injecting the entire contents of their venom sac into the skin of their victim. Honeybee stings are common in rural India. Sting of bee causes local reaction and also systemic reaction on human body. In some allergic indusial it may produces Anaphylaxis reaction and may be fetal. Insects usually become pathological by bites, stings and contact to body. Urbanization and its decaying effects on nature, agriculture, gardening etc. results the incidence of insect poisoning. In Ayurved honey bee sting was described under the heading of “Keetavisha” and which includes all the poisonous insects. For ordinary bee stings that do not cause any allergic reaction we can use Ayurvedic medicines which are mentioned in various texts. Multiple stings or an allergic reaction, on the other hand, can be a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment.
