It is because of the above reason that Professor Hembing started his studies and experimental stages of a new method for combating diseases about twenty years ago. In accordance to an old principle of the Ancient Chinese medicine which states that "the best way to combat poison is with poison". Professor Hembing decided to combine Acupuncture Therapy with Bee Venom Therapy. The main result is that the efficacious but short lasting stimulation of Acupuncture has been longer lasting by the effect of Bee Venom and the local but effective stimulation of Bee Venom has been made to be more far reaching through applying it at Acupuncture points. |
