Can you imagine being stung by bees from head to toe? Some patients are signing up for just that...
It’s an alternative procedure known as BVT, or bee venom therapy. Needless to say, it’s a bit controversial but advocates claim it can help treat a number of painful medical conditions. According to Alan Lorenzo, a traveling bee venom therapist, BVT can offer relief to those suffering from MS, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, fibromyalgia, bursitis, tendinitis, lupus, Lyme disease and more.
If you’re wondering if bee sting therapy hurts - yes it does. Typically, BVT sessions involve holding a honey bee with tweezers to a specific part of the body until it stings you. The stingers are left in for up to 15 minutes, then removed. Between 20 to 40 stings are done each session, usually around three times a week.
