Complementary and alternative veterinary medicine is an inclusive term that describes treatments, therapies, and modalities that are not accepted as components of main-stream veterinary education or practice, but that are performed on animals by some practitioners. Ancient civilizations used bee products for both humans and animals, but modern civilization and education have seriously lessened our natural instinctive ability and capability. Despite the fact that the modern Western establishment appears to like to relegate apitherapy and aromatherapy to the status of �¢����folklore�¢���� or �¢����old wives�¢���� tales�¢����, bee products and medicinal plants contain a vast spread of pharmacologically-active ingredients and each one has its own unique combination and properties. They are classified in modern herbal medicine according to their spheres of action. Recognized actions include anthelmintic, anti-catarrhal, anti-emetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-spasmodic, astringent, diuretic, expectorant, sedative, stimulant and tonic. In our research and clinical background, we have used bee products and medicinal plants to solve some animal pathologic problems such as mastitis in dairy herds, dermatology in carnivores, bone and skin grafts, burn and wound management etc.
