Course
Apitherapy in China
Apitherapy has been part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for possibly 4000 years. This course takes you through how Apitherapy is used in major hospitals in China, alongside Western medicine. It is normal for there to be a Traditional Chinese Medicine centre in a hospital down the corridor from conventional modern medicine treatment wards; TCM alongside radiotherapy and surgery. A TCM clinic alongside a conventional Western-style emergency room. Hospitals in China blend these modalities with equal respect given to each. It is normal to see doctors from the Western medicine departments calling in for TCM treatment, or nurses suffering carpal tunnel injury calling into the TCM clinic for "bee needle" treatment. Doctors don bee veils to step onto balconies to collect more bees for the treatment rooms. Patients report positive results for illnesses we struggle to treat in Western medicine. This is all available to see and understand in this course with multiple videos, interviews with translation and published medical journal articles.
