Bee acupuncture is a method of treating rheumatoid arthritis by using live bees to sting acupuncture points or affected areas, and injecting bee venom to treat the disease. In the second century, Calen, a great scholar and physician in ancient Rome, wrote about bee venom as a treatment for diseases, and in 1864, the Russian Lukomsky discovered through clinical observation that bee venom had a surprising curative effect on rheumatic fever, and it was only after the publication of his paper that bee venom began to attract the attention of medical practitioners. Bee therapy is also widely spread in Chinese folklore, which shows that its curative effect is certain and has unique advantages. The main component of the bee needle is the bee venom, which is a light yellow transparent venom with aromatic odor secreted by the bee’s venom glands and paraglandular glands. It is stored in the venom sac and discharged by the stinging needle when stinging, and is a complex mixture with good pharmacological effects and biological activity. Bee venom is being favored by the majority of scientists, as the results of the author’s search with CBM showed that there were 306 articles on bee therapy bee venom, indicating that bee venom in the clinic has attracted close attention from clinical and scientific researchers. In MEDLINE, the keyword Melitten (the main component of bee venom) was used to search 910 related papers, which shows that foreign scholars have researched extensively in this area and have studied it more deeply. At present, most patients with rheumatoid arthritis who come for treatment are in remission. Some patients have deformed joints with rheumatoid nodules, significant morning stiffness, pain and swelling, etc., and bee acupuncture has good results. Most patients in remission need to be treated for 1-3 months, and bee therapy can be stopped only after the disease is stabilized and symptoms are relieved, or the interval of bee therapy can be extended. If there is recurrence of the disease, then they can come for follow-up. Patients in the acute (exacerbation) phase who have never taken hormonal drugs generally have better and faster results. However, some patients have a long history of taking hormonal drugs such as dexamethasone and prednisone, and the efficacy of these patients is poorer compared to those who have not taken the drugs. The reason for this may be that there is a certain antagonistic relationship between hormones and bee venom, the mechanism of which is not yet clear. Of course, the length of treatment depends on many factors, such as the severity of the disease, the duration of the disease, individual differences, working and living environments, and climatic conditions. Therefore, when making treatment plans for each patient, the above factors should be considered together. Through clinical observation, we found that bee therapy does have certain advantages for rheumatoid arthritis, which can relieve symptoms more quickly, reduce pain and swelling, eliminate morning stiffness, and help patients recover joint movement and function. Although bee acupuncture has similar effects to corticosteroids, it does not cause adverse reactions and withdrawal symptoms such as “buffalo back” and “full moon face”, and avoids drug resistance and dependence on hormonal drugs. Patients who have received continuous bee therapy can stop bee therapy when their condition is under control, and they can be seen again every year when they feel unwell.
