Apis mellifica: The bee emergency remedy
The bee has been a cultural successor since the beginning of human civilization. Even the Egyptians knew and appreciated the powers of bees thousands of years ago. Today, their importance for plants has been brought back into focus. Bees are an important factor for successful harvests. However, pesticides and sprays are having a dramatic impact on bees and are causing ever greater problems for agriculture. In medicine, the bee is still valued for highly acute illnesses and as an important means of strengthening the immune system.

General information and medicinal effects of Apis mellifica
Anti-inflammatory
Apis mellifica has an anti-inflammatory effect. The medicinal plant is mainly used for highly acute, acute and subacute inflammations with or without effusion. Apis modulates the inflammation and brings it back to a normal level, from which healing can begin.
Edema reducing
Apis mellifica has an anti-oedematous effect. Inflammations for which Apis is indicated often form edema, so that the affected tissues or mucous membranes swell and lose their function. Apis helps to reorganize and reduce the oedema. The swelling and loss of function recede and the situation relaxes again.

Apis is one of the most important remedies for inflammations and allergies. Apis is used as a specific remedy in particular for inflammations that are accompanied by effusions and edematous infiltrations. On a physical level, it influences the immune system and the inflammatory cascade. The target tissues are primarily serous membranes, such as those found in the respiratory tract or joints. On a psychological level, it is used to treat states of agitation associated with anxiety and irritability. But it can also be used to treat depression, i.e. a deterioration in mood, especially if this is characterized by restlessness and agitation.

Apis mellifica as an acute remedy for allergies
Apis mellifica is regarded as THE remedy against Allergies.

Some Immune systems are very sluggish and need to be stimulated in order to fight off infections effectively and at an early stage.
