Özet
Apitherapy is an integrative treatment method that has been relied upon for centuries, using honeybee products primarily bee venom, for healing many human ailments. Bee venom can be administered to the human body through manual injection, topically, or directly via bee stings. Bee venom contains various bioactive molecules such as peptides and enzymes, which possess significant biotherapeutic potential in treating inflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and musculoskeletal conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Numerous studies in the literature have identified the biological activities of bee venom components and have focused on developing the potential use of apitoxin and its constituents as next-generation drugs. The aim of this review is to summarize the collection of bee venom, its main components, fundamental biological properties, and therapeutic applications.
