Today, there is a growing demand for natural approaches to improve well-being, which is why apitherapy chambers are becoming more and more popular. They allow a unique human contact with bees and their products, the effects of which on human psycho-physical well-being were unknown until recently. The beehive has taken on a new meaning and an innovative use that is attracting the interest of more and more beekeepers, apitherapists and medical practices. Not only respiratory diseases, but also anxiety, insomnia, exhaustion and other psychophysical conditions can be improved by this completely natural method. Man came from nature, so let us return to nature when we seek solutions for mind and body. <\/p>\n\n

Slovenia is one of the few countries where apitherapy chambers (or apicomores for short) are a widespread and well-established method, and in recent years there has been a significant increase in other countries. Medikoel plays a major role here, as most apicomers in the wider and narrower region of our country have facilities for hive air inhalation therapy and propolis vapour inhalation – 16 European countries in total, and even New Zealand. <\/p>\n\n

We also contribute to the dissemination of professional knowledge through a practical manual<\/a> that guides users through the planning of an apiary therapy room and the safe, proper, and professional provision of apitherapy services.<\/p>\n\n

Apitherapy innovation rooted in ancient knowledge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Apicomore and hive air inhalation are a promising natural health support method that combines ancient knowledge about bee products with modern therapeutic practices. Ancient beekeepers found that being in the apiary made them feel very well. They were more resistant to colds, and working with bees soothed and energised them. So it was beekeepers who came up with the idea of creating a place where people could hang out without being stung by bees. The apicomore is the most healing place to be during the bee grazing season, when the air is filled with essential oils from the ripening honey. More details on the composition of hive air in this article<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

How hive air inhalation works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The apiary, the centre of beekeeping, is the perfect place to carry out aerosol therapies with the air from the beehive. This therapeutic approach is based on the belief that the air in the hive contains many beneficial substances that can have a beneficial effect on the human body. An apicomore is a special room connected to the beehive but separated by a net or filter that allows air to pass through but not the bees. Inhaling the air from the hive allows aerosols containing the volatile components of honey, propolis, pollen, royal jelly and wax to be inhaled.<\/strong> Breathing hive air helps improve respiratory health, while spending time in apiary therapy rooms and listening to the soothing buzzing of bees promotes relaxation. This is one form of apitherapy, a natural method for improving overall well-being. You can read more about beehive air inhalation, the planning and establishment of apiary therapy rooms, and practical solutions, including floor plans, in our professional manual<\/a>. The therapy is suitable for people of all ages, especially those who are exposed to any kind of stress and psychophysical strain, have symptoms of a weak immune system or any kind of respiratory inflammation.<\/p>\n\n

In order to carry out hive air inhalation therapy, the Api Aerosol 2 apitherapy device, which we have developed ourselves, must be installed in the hive. For a close-up look at this innovative device and how to install it on an A\u017d, you can watch two videos: <\/p>\n\n

What are the benefits of visiting an apicomore?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Hive air has many health benefits:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Aerosols from the hive contain antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal compounds that can help reduce respiratory tract infections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Inhaling these compounds can help reduce inflammation in the body, which is beneficial for conditions such as asthma and bronchitis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Contact <\/strong>with bee products strengthens the immune system and helps the body fight disease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Honey and propolis have a relaxing effect as aromatherapy, which also helps with stress management and general well-being.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. People with respiratory problems report an improvement in respiratory function after apicomore therapy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Why is inhaling air from the hive becoming more popular?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

    While apitherapy is an ancient practice, there is relatively little scientific research in this field. Although more scientific research is needed to fully understand its effects, initial findings and user experiences are promising. Some studies have shown positive effects of inhaling aerosols from the hive on respiratory health and general well-being. One of these is a German study from l. 2017<\/a>, which confirms the exceptional properties of hive air. Further research is needed to better understand the mechanisms and optimal conditions for therapy. <\/p>\n\n
