Gwyneth Paltrow Calls Rectal Ozone Therapy 'Weird', Here's What It Means

Rectal ozone therapy uses medical-grade ozone gas that is administered by an ozone generator device and can be inserted into the body in a variety of ways. Read on to know more.

In a recent podcast, Gwyneth Paltrow, an award-winning actress and lifestyle innovator, discussed rectal ozone therapy. This was mentioned by the actress on the podcast 'The Art of Being Well,' hosted by Will Cole.

Paltrow was recently asked on a podcast about the strange wellness thing she's done. Gwyneth admitted to receiving rectal ozone therapy, saying, 'I have used ozone therapy, rectally. It's quite strange. However, it has been extremely beneficial'.

The actress and businesswoman's response quickly went viral on the internet and was met with skepticism from others. One Twitter user described rectal ozone therapy as "basically a reverse fart."

Eric Burnett, MD, hospitalist at Columbia University Irving Medical Center wrote on Twitter, "Thought this went without saying but: Friendly reminder to NOT put ozone up your rectum."

What Is Rectal Ozone Therapy? 

According to the reports, rectal ozone therapy uses medical-grade ozone gas that is administered by an ozone generator device and can be inserted into the body in a variety of ways. Rectal ozone therapy supporters believe that administering it to the body can aid in the treatment of disease, pain relief, and wound healing. Other benefits of this therapy include immune system stimulation, improved blood circulation, reduced oxidative stress, and more.

Air embolism, discomfort and cramping, and Herxheimer reaction are all possible side effects of ozone therapy.

Actress Gwyneth Platrow has recently been busy with the Utah 2016 ski trail case, for which she is being sued for $300,000. Terry Sanderson claims Paltrow hit him in the back while skiing down the mountain slopes. He suffered four broken ribs and a traumatic injury due to this incident. Platrow categorically denies these allegations, and the outcome of this court trial will be known soon.
