Romania. The Medicine Of The Zapotec Indians

Description

Like the practice of using plants for medicine, using bees - or apitherapy - appears to be universal. Romania leads a trend that extolls the medicinal virtues of the hive. In the region of Vrancea, Bernard Fontanille meets a passionate doctor and beekeeper, Doctor Eugen Stefan. In his surgery, he treats patients with stings from live bees that come from his hives. Bernard also visits Illinca, a healer, who inherited her knowledge of the benefits of honey, propolis, and venom from her family.
