Gwyneth Paltrow Endorses 'Steam Douche'

Oh, goop! Gwyneth Paltrow has yet another shocking beauty treatment to share.

The woman who once toasted "hairless vaginas," is now offering up a "next level" beauty tip for those who can afford the Los Angeles-based Tikkun Spa. On her lifestyle website Goop, the 42-year-old actress boasts about the Korean spa and their "golden ticket" treatment, 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," Paltrow explains. "It is an energetic release -- not just a steam douche -- that balances female hormone levels."

The actress adds of the eyebrow-raising procedure, "If you're in LA, you have to do it."

Sounds pretty "LA" to us!

The vagina steam clean comes at a price. A single treatment goes for $50, while a five-pack costs about $200. Tikkun Spa offers five different v-steams on their website -- the signature, the slimming, the infertility, the post-partum and a men's signature v-steam.

One of these days, the Lounge is going to have to explain to me this mythical place called 'California', which seems to exist on a plane unrestrained by logic or reason...

(While we're at it, someone can explain Portland to me as well)

Her mom is such a good, intelligent actress and I've always liked Gwyneth's work, too. I can't understand the dumb.

Or you could just microwave a cup of lemon water till it's boiling and then squat over it for 10 minutes.

Why spend $200 for it?


My favorite Chinese restaurant lets me steam my ladybits over their rice cookers for free during the slow hours.


Mr Pipi occasionally gets his chestnuts roasted over the Pork Lo Mein pan.
