2 Čebelarstvo Kolarič INHALATION AEROSOL APITHERAPY 1 Inhalation of aerosol from the beehive, can effectively treat many respiratory illnesses such as sore throat, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, tracheobronchitis, bronchiolitis, and other (source, Peter Kaps, 2012). Beside the inhalation of aerosol from the hive, people can also inhale other bee products such as honey, propolis and pollen. Bee products must be prepared properly to be suitable for use with a nebulizer. A nebulizer is a device that breaks the liquid substance into small particles (aerosol), which is then transported to the respiratory system using a mask or a mouthpiece. Inhalation of aerosol from the hive. API AEROSOL I. Bees form aerosol with their movement in the hive. By using API AERSOL I set, a person can inhale aersol directly from the hive. An adapter, that is attached to the hive, has a special one-sided shut-off valve, which allows the movement of the aerosol from the beehive to the user. A ribbed connecting tube has a sufficiently large diameter to allow the flow of aerosol from the hive (6-10 liters per second). The tube can be connected with a mouthpiece or a mask. The mask has two one-sided shut-off valves built in, that allow suction from the tube and discharge of exhaled air to the surroundings. Due to hygiene reasons, each user should have its own tube, mask or mouthpiece. symbolic picture Set API AEROSOL I contains: Mask for apitherapy with shut-off valve (Code: 1041) Flexible pipe 120 cm (Code: 1033) Hive adapter (Code: 1042) Mouthpiece (Code: 1022) Code: Set API AEROSOL I Inhalation of aerosol from the hive with forced draft API AEROSOL II Intalation of aerosol from the hive with forced draft, enables a greater flow of aerosol from the hive, by using a fan (API AEROSOL I), which can be powered directly via 230V/12V adapter or 12V batteries (API SUPPLY).

3 API AEROSOL II fan, may be set at 5 speeds in order to regulate the speed of the fan and the flow the aerosol from the hive to the user. Up to 10 fans of API AEROSOL II can be linked together, which enables inhalation of larger groups of users at a time.

5 are then broken down by the ampoule into an aerosol. The aerosol travels straight from the hive into the upper (nasal cavity, oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx ) and lower (trachea, bronchi, bronchial tubes, alveoli - air sacs) airways. Piston nebulizer ME100 (includes: mask for adults, children s mask, ampule for medicine, tube length of 1.1 m, mouthpiece, five filters). Čebelarstvo Kolarič Inhalation of aerosol from the hive with forced draft Set for inhalation from the hive with a forced draft, enables a greater flow of the aerosol from the hive. It allows the inhalation of various substances, which can optionally be added to the inhaler (nebulizer) dispenser. Inhalation from the hive with a forced draft is enabled by using the piston nebulizer (Me100). The nebulizer s aggregate forcibly pumps aerosol from the hive into the dispenser, which is connected to the mouthpiece or mask. The dispenser is designed to add the appropriate active substances (honey, propolis, pollen, physiological saline, medications, etc.), which The components for inhalation from the hive with forced draft: Hive adapter and a suction tube with a connector for the piston nebulizer ME100, Code: 1043 Code:

6 Devices for aerosol (Api)therapy Devices for aerosol (Api)therapy work by breaking the liquid into microscopic drops (0.5 to 6 μm). A small amount of drops are put in the nebulizer which then breaks the liquid into a fine mist which is called aerosol. The mass of the aerosol mist/drops is so low that they can easily enter the respiratory system. The drops are in liquid and gaseous form, which means they can carry a variety of dissolved substances such as: salt, medicines or substances from bee products (honey, propolis or pollen). The dissolved substances in the form of aerosol then travel to the upper and lower respiratory tract where they have a therapeutic effect.

10 Api-Inhal Inhalation mixture of Aloe arborescens It contains honey, propolis, salt and extract of Aloe arborescens. The plant Aloe arborescens has a broad spectrum of positive activity on a wide variety of problems, diseases and disorders. Inhalation mixture of Aloe arborescens is used for the purpose of maintaining health (to help stimulate the immune system and to help with asthma, inflammation of the eyes, skin, etc.). Code: CONCENTRATE FOR MIXING WITH HONEY Natural honey is an excellent preservative. You can mix a lot of different substances into honey. These substances must not contain a lot of water otherwise the honey may spoil. It is necessary to concentrate and separate the fluids from the solution. For this purpose we use a special vacuum technological process. This process is called evaporation and consists of separation of different solvents from the solution. Low temperature (up to 40 C) is key for such a process of concentration, because higher temperatures destroys active substances in ingredients. All Medikoel concentrates are made with the evaporation process to ensure that the concentrate will not separate from the honey, once they are mixed, thus making the mixture homogeneous. Code: Concentrated extract from echinacea (Echinacea purpurea L.) contains 125 g of concentrated extract from echinacea, sufficient for 5 kg of honey, easy to use, added vitamin C. Impact on health: The active ingredients of Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea L.) are the only substances which the European Medicines Agency recognizes for its immune stimulating effects. Echinacea is proven to strenghten the resistance of our immune system. The advantage of Echinacea with honey is that their combination has a beneficial effect on the elimination of symptoms (the effect of honey) and treatment (effect of the Echinacea) of common cold or influenza. It is well known that honey, because of its beneficial properties helps to relieve coughs, sooths sore throats and has antioxidant and antibacterial properties. On the other hand, Echinacea enhances the body s resistance, which helps to accelerate recovery. Echinacea with honey contains added vitamin C. It is also suitable for children because it does not contain alcohol, preservatives and has a pleasant taste. 9

11 Instructions for making honey with echinacea: Pour the content of the bottle (125 g) into 5 kg of honey. Mix until you get homogeneous mixture. Fill the mixture in 250 g glasses, equip them with a label and place them in the carton packaging. Instructions for making honey with beetroot: Pour the content of the bottle (125 g) into 1 kg of honey. Mix until you get homogeneous mixture. Fill the mixture in 250 g glasses, equip them with a label and place them in the carton packaging. Concentrated extract from pine buds is designed for mixing in products, where it is not desirable that their physical properties change due to water content. It is therefore particularly suitable as an addition to honey. Concentrate blended into honey is used to help to calm coughing and to help with colds. Concentrated juice from the Beetroot (Beta Vulgaris L.) contains 125 g of concentrate from red beet juice sufficient for 1 kg of honey, easy to use. Instructions for making honey with pine buds: Pour the content of the bottle (500 g) into 1,5 kg of honey. Mix until you get homogeneous mixture. Fill the mixture in 250 g glasses, equip them with a label and place them in the carton packaging. 16 times concentrated juice of red beet is created by using low temperature distillation. With that process we achieve stability of freshly squeezed juice from red beet. Cold concentrated juice of red beet is designed for mixing into the products, where it is not desirable that their physical properties change due to water content. It is therefore particularly suitable as an addition to honey. Code: Concentrated extract from pine buds (Picea abies L.) contains 500 g of concentrate from pine buds, sufficient for 1,5 kg of honey, easy to use. Code:
