What does BVT mean in HOSPITALS

Bee venom therapy (BVT) is a type of natural therapy that uses the venom from bees, typically stingless bees, to treat inflammation and pain. BVT has been used for centuries around the world to help with a variety of ailments and conditions including arthritis, multiple sclerosis, nerve pain, tendinitis, and fibromyalgia. It is even being studied as a possible treatment for cancer.

The active ingredient in bee venom, melittin, has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce swelling and provide relief from pain. The bee sting itself serves as an immunotherapy which stimulates the body's natural healing process by releasing cytokines which are proteins important in the regulation of immunity systems functions.

Yes - when applied correctly by a licensed practitioner, BVT is generally considered safe and effective. There is some risk of an allergic reaction or infection so it's important to be monitored by a doctor during sessions and take precautions such as wearing protective gear when handling the bees.
