Empleando palabras clave como: actividad antimicrobiana, antioxidante, antibacteriana y anticancerígena se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en libros y artículos de investigación de los buscadores científicos PubMed, World Wide Science, Google Scholar y Springer Link, para describir aspectos generales y ejemplos de los beneficios en la salud de la miel. Estudios in vitro e in vivo han demostrado una relación positiva entre las características fisicoquímicas y la composición fitoquímica de la miel con el efecto benéfico en el tratamiento de afecciones leves como cicatrización de heridas, hasta procesos complejos de inflamación, estrés oxidativo, o infecciones microbianas. Así, la miel de abejas sin aguijón representa un producto con potencial terapéutico.  Universida de Sonora2023-02-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAcademyAcademiaapplication/pdfapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://epistemus.unison.mx/index.php/epistemus/article/view/24210.36790/epistemus.v17i34.242EPISTEMUS; Vol. 17 No. 34 (2023): Issue No. 34; 49-59EPISTEMUS; Vol. 17 Núm. 34 (2023): Revista No. 34; 49-592007-81962007-4530reponame:Epistemusinstname:UNIVERSIDAD DE SONORAinstacron:UNISONspahttps://epistemus.unison.mx/index.php/epistemus/article/view/242/301https://epistemus.unison.mx/index.php/epistemus/article/view/242/371https://epistemus.unison.mx/index.php/epistemus/article/view/242/387Derechos de autor 2023 EPISTEMUShttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:oai.epistemus.unison.mx:article/2422024-08-19T22:27:29Z
