Various disorders severely affect the nervous system. Migraines and other headaches are very common.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) ranks headache disorders third after stroke and dementia. The MOH attributes the disorder to not only personal but also societal burdens of pain. Disability, damaged quality of life, and financial constraints are on the list too.
Shockingly, it's only a minority of people affected with headache disorders who receive appropriate diagnosis endorsed by a health care provider. Therefore, headache disorder has become the most overlooked, and its effects are lost sight of.
Generally, headache disorder is a painful and disabling feature of the primary headache disorders, such as migraine, cluster headache and tension-type headache.
Other secondary conditions lead to headaches, but the most common of them is medication overuse.

It is exciting to note that this problem, which healthcare providers have barely correctly diagnosed, can be alleviated immediately by using bee venom.
Bee venom has numerous medicinal properties. It is said that the venom contains the peptides apamin and ado-lapin, which have pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties.
The venom obtained from bees is used as a natural treatment for migraine headaches and many other ailments.
Using bee venom to treat and prevent pain and other illnesses is known as apitherapy. Bee venom has been used traditionally for thousands of years for treatment, although it has gained popularity in recent years.
Here is the good news: Bee venom is now found in various forms. It is added to various products such as extracts, serums, moisturizers, and supplements.
Also, healthcare professionals worldwide offer bee venom injections.
Live bees can also be placed on the skin to induce a sting. This practice is called acupuncture or bee-sting therapy.
However, a comment from Doctor Stephen Kimani Kaboyo, an apitherapist, Bellafarm Africa Limited indicates that not just any bee's sting is favourable in this treatment, but female bees are preferred over males since they are more productive. Male bees use their organs only for mating, while females, who are the worker bees, use them for defence. That's why they are the best for acupuncture.
The process of inducing the venom into the body through the bee stings lasts only 3-4 minutes for the pain to subside and the venom to get inside the body. After that, the stings are removed from the skin, and a cream made from the bee's wax is applied to the surface where the sting was to prevent irritation that may prompt the patients to scratch themselves.
This knowledge promises relief to those suffering from headache disorders, be they children, adolescents, or adults. It only requires a little perseverance for a minimum of four minutes for relief to come your way.
