It has been used since ancient times to treat arthritis, rheumatism, back pain, skin diseases and in this modern age as an alternative therapy to treat multiple sclerosis, Lyme disease and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Bee venom is a rich source of enzymes, peptides and biogenic amines. There are at least 18 active components in the venom which have some pharmaceutical properties.
Bee venom therapy is practiced by health practitioners and lay apitherapists Bee venom therapy is an alternative form of healing. In the hands of a licensed practitioner, it is considered to be safe and can be used when the patient does not respond to conventional treatment methods.

I have Multiple Sclerosis and have heard some use bees venom therapy for that to stimulate the anti-inflammatory effect in ones body. The results have been mixed.

I came across in Kama Sutra book ( no joke..) that bee venom helps expand blood vessels and increases the artery and vein size. Actually it mentioned as wasp. I believe it is the same family as bee.
I won't mention here however, the reason treatment by bee stung was mentioned in the book.

Bee stings cause the body to produce it's own cortisone and this can be effective in treating arthritis.
