Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on May 31, 2025My wife suffered an accident at work several years ago that's left her with a dull ache that never really goes away. Acetaminophen helps a little, as does massage, but the latter is expensive, especially in Toronto. When I saw this jar of bee venom, I was intrigued - a quick Google search confirmed its purported efficacy.
The jars are tiny - you can see one next to my keys for reference. Each jar contains an ounce of cream, made up of 5 simple ingredients, the first being 'aqua'. Fun fact: cosmetic products must list ingredients based on the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI), which is why you always see 'aqua' instead of 'water'. Same thing.
After water, there is mineral oil, glyceryl stearate (helps combine water and oil and adds viscosity), carbomer (thickener, emulsifier), and finally, the star of the show, bee venom, which must be incredibly potent, given that it's the last ingredient listed.
15 minutes after applying it to my wife's shoulder, she turned to me in complete surprise and said "the pain is gone", words I hear rarely in our house. Both of us were fairly stunned and thrilled. The effect wore off after a few hours, but even the next day, the pain was lessened. This stuff is fantastic for pain relief. The only drawback is the cost - at $17, 2 ounces will last us about a week, making this an expensive addition to our pain management routine, but it's worth it.
Highly, highly recommended.
