(Un)Well on Netflix

(Un)Well is a six-part docuseries that investigates controversial wellness fads. Each episode dives deep into trends and treatments that catch on like wildfire but that inspire both passionate support and deep skepticism.

Topics include apitherapy, essential oils, breast milk, extreme fasting, ayahuasca, and tantric sex. The series will explore all sides of the topic –from what hurts to what works.

To save you a little time, so you don’t have to google “apitherapy”, its defined as is a branch of alternative medicine that uses honey bee products, including honey, pollen, propolis, royal jelly and bee venom. In the case of this documentary they really focus on bee sting therapy.

Yeah that’s right. There is a group of people who believe in purposely stringing themselves for heath benefits!

This series is very fascinating and well balanced exploring a world of alternative medicine very few of us are even aware of while also considering input from the traditional medical and scientific community.

Interesting and eye opening, this is a fun one to add to your watchlist.
