Yes, that’s what she says. Gwyneth Paltrow recommends that you steam your vagina. V-Steam is sauna treatment for your vagina. Paltrow writes on Goop:
“You sit on what is essentially a mini-throne, and a combination of infrared and mugwort steam cleanses your uterus, et al. 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.”
You do? Well, according to the Tikkun website V-steam can pretty much cure any ailment.
“This steaming treatment stimulates the production of hormones to maintain uterine health, aids regular menstrual cycles, clears up hormonal acne, promotes circulation, and helps correct digestive disorders.”
Wait! But before you run off and get deep clean “down there”, you might want to get another opinion. Ob/Gyn Dr. Jen Gunter doesn’t recommend it. In a blog post she wrote:
“We don’t know the effect of steam on the lower reproductive tract, but the lactobacilli strains that keep vaginas healthy are very finicky about their environment and raising the temperature with steam and whatever infrared nonsense Paltrow means is likely not beneficial and is potentially harmful. Steam is probably not good for your vagina. Herbal steam is no better and quite possibly worse.”
OK, well who knows better? A celebrity or a doctor? I mean her skin looks great and I don’t have a vagina nor do I live in LA, so I guess I’ll never really know?
