Dr. He Haochen
The functions and effects of bee hive mainly include:
1. Detoxifying and insecticidal: Bee hive can detoxify, kill insects, break up accumulations, and dissipate stagnation. It is commonly used in external medicine treatments, such as for sores, abscesses, breast abscess (mastitis), and scrofula. It can be used alone, but more commonly it is combined with herbs that clear heat, detoxify, reduce swelling, and promote tissue regeneration.
2. Expelling wind and relieving pain: Bee hive can dispel wind and alleviate pain, treating conditions such as rheumatic pain, toothache, and dysentery. For urticaria with itching, it can be combined with cicada slough (Cicadae Periostracum) and root of Chinese lovage (Siler root); for rheumatic pain, it can be used together with Sichuan aconite root (Aconiti Radix) and grass aconite root (Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix).
3. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory: Bee hive contains antibacterial components that inhibit various bacteria, thereby exerting antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects and promoting recovery from inflammation.
4. Regulating endocrine: Components in bee hive help regulate the endocrine system, improving skin deterioration and irritability caused by endocrine disorders.
