Specifically the use of apitherapy (medical use of bee honey), phytotherapy, acupuncture, medical hydrology, homeopathy and floral therapy. Doctor Jesus Angel Quintero said, 'all of them have been practiced for centuries in the world and have been scientifically validated for their capacity to fix many health problems without harming the organism.'
