Abstract EN
Lithuania has old ethnomedicine traditions, consisting of many recipes with herbal, animal, and mineral original ingredients.
All these findings were mostly collected in Lithuanian language, often in local community’s dialects, and stored only in archives.
We analyzed archival sources about honeybee and its products used for medicinal purposes dated from 1886 till 1992 in different parts of Lithuania.
We systematized and presented the most important information about bees and their products: indication for usage, ingredients used in the recipe, their preparation techniques, and application for therapeutic purposes.
Researchers in Lithuania are now looking for new evidence based indications and preparation and standardization methods of bee products.
Archival sources are a foundation for studies in Lithuania.
The results can be integrated into scientifically approved folk medicine practices into today’s healthcare.
