The anti-allergic potential of stingless bee honey from different botanical sources via modulation of mast cell degranulation. BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies, 23: 307. pp. 1-20. ISSN 2662-7671 (2023)
Abstract
Allergy is an inflammatory disorder affecting around 20% of the global population. The adverse effects of current conventional treatments give rise to the increased popularity of using natural food products as complementary and alternative medicine against allergic diseases. Stingless bee honey, commonly known as Kelulut honey (KH) in Malaysia, has been used locally as a traditional remedy to relieve cough and asthma. This study evaluated the anti-allergic potential of KH collected from four different botanical sources on phorbol ester 12-myristate-3-ace- tate and calcium ionophore-activated human mast cells.
