Breathe in the scent of the bees and listen to their “pink noise” to help you relax
Apitherapy and Apisound
Apitherapy encompasses everything relating to the health benefits that bees offer to humans. At Asphodel, you can experience all the products of our bees in a single session. We have designed a special hexagonal space to immerse you in the atmosphere of a real beehive. We offer an hour-long apitherapy session based on propolis, honey and beeswax, which contain essential oils, terpenes, resins and other volatile substances that give the beehive its characteristic scent. These inhaled substances can have a beneficial effect on the entire respiratory system, in accordance with the principles of aromatherapy – a therapeutic treatment based on natural volatile molecules administered via the air. The volatile compounds are rapidly absorbed by the respiratory mucous membranes and, as well as acting locally, enter the bloodstream without undergoing any transformation. They therefore have a faster effect than orally administered medicines, which must instead undergo various changes in the digestive system and the liver before being absorbed and thus exerting their effect. The absorption of volatile substances through the mucous membranes is facilitated by the small size of these molecules, which can also reach the extracellular fluids via the blood and lymph.
