title: [Effect of warm and cold honey solutions on acid-forming function of the stomach].
abstract: Apitherapy is treatment of diseases with biologically active products of bee-keeping (BAPB), which is developing in an intensive way all over the world. The interest in apitherapy is explained, on the one hand, by a great number of natural compounds produced by bees as a result of their vital functions and having high physiological activity, and on the other hand, by the universal nature of bees occurrence and comparative simplicity of getting the bee-keeping products. In apitherapy literature many authors point to the fact that honey has an impact on gastric secretion: a cold honey solution stimulates, and a warm one inhibits acid excretion. Yet there are no results of studies confirming this action in all publications.
