Gwyneth Paltrow has taken her passion for unusual beauty treatments to a new level by undergoing a bizarre therapy involving bee stings.
The Iron Man star has revealed she used "bee venom therapy" to treat an injury, which involved being stung by a live insect. But Paltrow is convinced theodd procedure worked as her problem subsequently healed up.
"The craziest treatment I've tried is one where I was stung by a live bee. It's called apitherapy and it's apparently been used since Egyptian times to promote healing," she told Britain's Marie Claire magazine.
Paltrow is known for her love of unusual and holistic treatments and has previously hailed the benefits of practices including Chinese cupping therapy, macrobiotic diets and wrinkle-busting laser facials.
