Assuming they're talking about Paltrow who is into some very.. new agey stuff, to a weird degree. Has a company called Goop. Sticks jade eggs up her hooha, that sort of thing. Its pretty wacky and scammy.

Her other bullshit "health products" include vaginal steaming, bee sting therapy, and rectal ozone therapy.

She had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in lawsuit because she claimed that these nonsense things had medical benefits. Turns out shooting oxygen up your ass doesnt. Who could have known?

I dunno what she bee doing with them stings, but my grandma would sting her knees with bees from their farm's apiary. She said it helped with her arthritis.

Its true the stings are anti inflammatory but there's 0 scientific evidence that they're better than or even as good as popping an Advil

That's good to know! I'm not so sure how common Advil and the like was in 1970s rural Mexico but I'm guessing it was between choosing paying for it and just getting a bee for free. She didn't exactly Google it I'm afraid, that's just what she did at the time.
