When Gwyneth Paltrow is asked to divulge the strangest wellness treatment she’s ever had, you know something is up.
The Oscar winner founded her lifestyle business Goop in 2008 and has subsequently undertaken a variety of unconventional procedures in the name of wellbeing, including having her vagina steamed and being stung by bees.
Yet it wasn’t one of these that Gwyneth, 50, picked as her strangest ever treatment in a recent interview. Instead, she chose rectal ozone treatment.
Appearing on Dr Will Cole’s The Art of Being Well podcast this week, Iron Man star Gwyneth was asked: ‘What’s the weirdest wellness thing you’ve done?’ to which the mum-of-two replied: ‘I have used ozone therapy, rectally. Can I say that? It’s pretty weird. But it’s been very helpful.’
Rectal ozone treatment includes the administration of medical grade ozone into the colon via the rectum.
Once there, the petrol combines with the proteins and water in the stomach, supplying the bloodstream with oxygen-rich nutrients that are supposed to protect against sickness and delay the ageing process.
Gwyneth’s new suggestion comes just weeks after she revealed her daily wellness regimen, saying she scrapes her tongue and drinks celery juice every morning.
On a Wednesday in November, the A-lister posted to Instagram, saying, ‘Happy Wellness Wednesday!’ I’m a little late to this party today since I’ve been busy.
‘Somebody asked me what is my actual wellness routine on a Wednesday, so I filmed some of it.’
She captioned a photo of some of her beauty equipment, ‘I start my day with a tongue scrape and an oil pull.’
She then decompresses with a 20-minute meditation session and an intensive session at a dancing studio.
She then brushes her feet and legs and applies a variety of cosmetic products, including some from her own line and Jennifer Aniston‘s Lolavie, before sipping a glass of celery juice.
Raving about Myotape sleep strips, she added: ‘This is probably the best wellness tool I have found recently.
‘Breathing through your nose at night apparently creates alkalinity in the body and promotes best quality sleep.’
