In the latest bizarre health news, women are inserting ground-up wasp nests into their Vag!na.
Several Etsy stores are claiming that oak galls – the product formed when a wasp lays eggs in a tree’s leaf buds – can improve your S3x life and rejuvenate your Vag!na.

Of course, this natural treatment has no scientific evidence to back it up. One gynaecologist, Dr Jen Gunter, has even gone so far as to write a blog post detailing exactly why women shouldn’t be doing this.
Several Etsy stores are claiming the wasp nest by-product can improve your S3x life

Dr Gunter says that this method can cause painful S3x along with an increased risk of contracting HIV. “Drying the Vag!nal mucosa increases the risk of abrasions during S3x (not good) and destroys the protective mucous layer (not good),” she writes.

“It could also wreak havoc with the good bacteria. In addition to causing pain during S3x, it can increase the risk of HIV transmission. This is a dangerous practice with real potential to harm.”

One Etsy retailer, Heritage Health Shop, claimed that the oak gall paste could be used on cuts – although it will sting.

“Here’s a pro tip. If something burns when you apply it to the Vag!na, it is generally bad for the Vag!na,” Dr Gunter comments.

That particular listing has since been removed but the ground-up wasp nest products are still available elsewhere. Another store says that their product can do everything from tightening the Vag!na to curing urinary infections.
Dr Gunter came to fame earlier this week after she wrote another scathing post aimed at Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle site, Goop.

Having had enough of the actresses “crackpot theories”, the gynaecologist set out to show that there is no scientific theory behind any of Goop’s wild claims.
