Bee venom is a chemical and biological composition of proteins, peptides, enzymes, and other compounds. Peptides mainly melittin, mast cell degranulating peptide (MCD), apamin found in bee venom can be used to treat a wide range of diseases, from cancer and chronic pain to neuromuscular and other disease conditions. We discussed Bee venom components and their uses in human illness treatment in this paper. Bee venom has been proven to have potential impacts on a variety of diseases, opening up new avenues for medication development. The findings in Homoeopathic literature are supported by a recent investigation on the active components of Apis mellifica and their pharmacological effects. As possible medication candidates in the therapy of human ailments, we summarise Bee venom's properties and detail its components and application in this paper.

Background Rhus toxicodendron is a homoeopathic medicine introduced into the homoeopathic system by Hahnemann in 1816, and ever since, it has been used to relieve arthritis, rheumatism and skin disorders. Aim This review aimed to search the literature for the phytochemical and pharmacological investigations of homeopathic medicine Rhus tox. The assembled data of Rhus tox could be beneficial in helping researchers concentrate on the most pivotal aspects that still need to be examined. Discussion In the Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia of India, Toxicodendron pubescens P. Mill (Atlantic poison oak) and Toxicodendron radicans (poison ivy) have been mentioned as synonyms of Rhus toxicodendron Linn. The allergic contact dermatitis caused by touching the leaves of the Toxicodendron plants is believed to give the plant its specific name. Available literature illustrated the medicinal and pharmacological potential against various inflammatory diseases, including arthritis, showing immunomodulatory and anti-neoplastic activity. Conclusion There is a need to establish evidence for the activities mentioned in the literature. The detailed knowledge regarding the mechanism of Rhus toxicodendron Linn. would help the scientific community understand the field of homeopathic medicine more closely.
