Article Synopsis
- Entomotherapy is the medicinal use of insects, with a long history and over 2100 edible species, but its potential as an alternative to traditional medicine is still underexplored.
- The review identifies 235 insect species used for healing, particularly focusing on the Hymenoptera, and their properties, such as anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, mainly targeting digestive and skin issues.
- Challenges like regulatory issues, consumer acceptance, and overexploitation of insect populations must be addressed for entomotherapy to evolve into a sustainable and affordable treatment option in the future.
