GEITA: TheTanzania Forestry Service (TFS) has urged Tanzanians to adopt bee venom as a natural alternative for boosting immunity against both infectious and non-infectious diseases.
TFS Senior Conservator from the Silayo Tree Plantation in Geita District, Mr Juma Mdoe made the recommendations recently in an exclusive interview with the ‘Daily News.’
Mr Mdoe said that scientific research has shown that bee venom contains various compounds that, when introduced into the human body, can help strengthen the immune system.
“Some major components of bee venom are melittin, apamin, hyaluronidase, phospholipase and histamine.
“When bee venom compounds are injected into the body, may stimulate, activate and boost the immune, which helps to fight diseases,” he said.
