This book explores the use of bee venom therapy, or apitherapy, in managing neurodegenerative diseases within naturopathic and traditional medicine. Once mainly used for pain-related disorders, apitherapy is now recognized for its therapeutic compounds and molecular mechanisms. With a long history in cultures such as Egyptian, Chinese, and Indian medicine, it is gaining renewed interest. However, the absence of standardized procedures has limited its wider adoption in modern healthcare. This book offers an up-to-date overview of apitherapy, covering its history, methods, safety, bioactive components, and clinical applications. It aims to equip medical professionals with the knowledge and skills to integrate apitherapy into holistic patient care and support progress toward global health goals. Key Features: Provides detailed information on the uses of bee venom as therapies for neurodegenerative disorders Describes physiological and pharmacological effects of bee products Includes modern therapeutic modalities derived from ancient cultures
