Apitherapy is a form of complementary and alternative medicine that uses bee products to treat diseases. This thesis will focus on a particular product from the hive: honey. Honey is a substance rich in carbohydrates produced by honeybees, Apis mellifera. It is predominately used in cooking as a sweetener. Furthermore, it has been traditionally used as medicine for thousands of years around the world. Following a review of the various biological activities of honey, this work analyses whether honey has its place among our therapeutic arsenal using clinical evidence. Finally, in order to inform and address the concerns of patients regarding this form of alternative medicine, complementary information pertaining to the medicinal use of honey in community pharmacies is provided. L'apithérapie est une forme de médecine complémentaire et alternative où l'on utilise les produits issus de la ruche à des fins thérapeutiques. Dans ce travail, nous nous focaliserons sur un produit particulier, le miel. Le miel est une substance riche en sucres produite par les abeilles de l'espèce Apis mellifera. En plus d'être un aliment au pouvoir sucrant, le miel est traditionnellement utilisé comme médicament depuis des millénaires à travers le monde. Après un tour d'horizon des différentes activités biologiques du miel, ce travail aborde le problème de la place éventuelle du miel dans notre arsenal thérapeutique d'après les études cliniques disponibles. Enfin, afm de pouvoir informer et répondre à d'éventuelles questions de patients, des informations pertinentes à la pratique officinale seront apportées.

The development of new foods or nutraceuticals with health benefits is among today’s most important issues, which presents an opportune moment for the food and/or pharmaceutical industries. However, the launch of new products should be supported by strong scientific evidence on the health benefits attributable to the intake of these bioactive food ingredients. Studies focusing on changes during the storage conditions, digestion process, intestinal absorption rates, biological mechanisms of action, or bioactivity of their metabolites are also required to establish the real contribution of these compounds to the health status of today’s societies
