For the love of Goop! Gwyneth Paltrow waxes lyrical about vagina steam cleanse
LAST week we were introduced to the concept of a 'vagina facial' on ITV daytime show This Morning, and now Gwyneth Paltrow has waded in on the craze with LA spa treatment V-Steam
Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle blog Goop used to be a source of inspiration for quinoa recipes and eccentric fitness workouts.
But now the 42-year-old actress is turning her focus away from health crazes to bizarre beauty treatments.
Gwyneth has told her female blog followers to head to a vagina spa in Santa Monica, where they can have their vaginas steamed.
Speaking about the Korean spa, Chris Martin's ex-wife wrote: "Tikkun is the next level when it comes to Korean spas, combining high-tech far infrared heat with traditional Korean sauna therapies.
"So, if you want to lay down in a Himalayan salt brick tiled sauna, or sit in a Hwangto clay room, you get the added benefit of far infrared heat.
"And, in addition to the sauna rooms, there’s a long menu of massages and kick-a** body scrubs to complement the sauna time."
Gwynnie went into more specific detail adding: "We’re burying the lede though, because the real golden ticket here is the Mugworth V-Steam: You sit on what is essentially a mini-throne, and a combination of infrared and mugwort steam cleanses your uterus, et al."
If you're in LA, you have to do it
Praising the unconventional treatment, the blonde actress said: "It is an energetic release—not just a steam douche—that balances female hormone levels.
"If you’re in LA, you have to do it."
Tikkun Holistic Spa is located in Santa Monica, not far from the Pacific Palisades home the Oscar winner now resides in.
This isn't the first time the mother-of-two has talked about her private parts.
In 2013 she said she 'rocked a '70s vibe' with her pubic hair.
However, not everyone is happy with Gwyneth's beauty recommendations.
Dr. Jen Gunter, a board certified OB/GYN and expert in vulvovaginal disorders, wrote about the services at Tikkun on her website.
"Steam is probably not good for your vagina. Herbal steam is no better and quite possibly worse," she said.
"Mugwort or wormwood or whatever when steamed, either vaginally or on the vulva, can't possibly balance any reproductive hormones, regulate your menstrual cycle, treat depression, or cure infertility."
Last week Lisa Palmer appeared on ITV show This Morning and told the nation about her homemade vaginal facial recipe.
