APIS
Everyone knows the symptoms of a bee sting-burning, stinging, redness, and swelling. These are the main guiding symptoms of the remedy Apis, whether from infection, allergy, or inflammatory causes. Characteristically the swelling is so marked that it gives the impression of a balloon ready to burst.
The personality of Apis is characterized by a busy intensity, a vitality, and strength. It is more frequently a remedy for women. The patient is often described as "task oriented" and may reach the point of workaholism. She is generally quite healthy on the mental and emotional levels. She is a straight forward person and not at all introspective. Generally, the only symptom offered on the emotional level is irritability. An aggressiveness can come strongly forward if the patient or his family is betrayed or crossed in any way but generally not otherwise. The Apis patient can be controlling in the family and exhibits strong jealousy-like a bee protecting its hive. Mucous and serous membranes are the main locations of action of Apis similar to Bryonia.Nadine Hokayem, N.D. Naturopathic Doctor
