Chen’s Bee Therapy encompasses a traditional approach whereby various bee products, including bee venom, royal jelly, beeswax, propolis, bee larvae, bee pollen, and honey, are utilized to holistically address ailments, promote wellness, and combat the effects of aging.
Rooted primarily in the heritage of the Chen family, this therapeutic method boasts a lineage spanning over 300 years. Widely applicable and characterized by its user-friendly nature and minimal adverse effects, Chen’s Bee Therapy has demonstrated notable efficacy in addressing conditions such as gout, cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Under the stewardship of successive inheritors, this therapeutic practice has evolved significantly, culminating in the establishment of the “triple therapy” comprising bee sting therapy, traditional Chinese medicine bee products, and medicinal beeswax. This refined approach has expanded the therapeutic scope to encompass over 40 challenging and diverse ailments.
Recognizing its enduring cultural significance, Chen’s Bee Therapy was inscribed in the fourth batch of representative projects on the provincial-level list of intangible cultural heritage in 2016. Subsequently, in 2021, it garnered further acclaim by securing inclusion in the fifth batch of representative projects on the national-level list of intangible cultural heritage.
