Dear Katy Perry, Please Stop Doing Enemas To ‘Cleanse’ Your Body – Women’s Health

  • Katy Perry said in a recent interview that she’s been doing enemas to “cleanse” her body.
  • She said it’s part of an Ayurvedic practice called Panca Karma.
  • Enemas can be harmful when done outside of a doctor’s supervision.

    You’re well aware that most celebrities don’t have a background in medicine, but sometimes, it can still be hard to weed out what’s good and bad advice when it’s coming from someone you like. Case in point: Katy Perry, who just talked about how she’s been doing “lots of enemas” recently. …Yeah, you don’t want to try this at home.

    In a new interview with Australian radio show Smallzy’s Surgery, Katy said that she’s using
    “ancient remedies” to look young. “I’m kind of into those type of things, like health and healing places and self-betterment places,” she said. “Especially as you get older and you have longer hangovers, you realize the cells in your body are dying.”

    Katy said that she’s been on something called Panca Karma, which she described as “Ayurvedic eating and cleansing, you do lots of enemas.” Katy did this over a period of 21 days, which she says she helped her body get rid of toxins and created “optimum healing conditions.”

    “You definitely feel more energy,” she said. “It basically like gets all the crap out of you, every pun intended. There are ancient ways to heal yourself besides just taking a pill, which is something I always love to investigate.”

    It’s awesome that Katy wants to focus on her health, buuuuuttttt (pun also intended) enemas really aren’t the way to go. In case you’re not familiar with the procedure, an enema involves pumping water or other substances through your rectum and into your large intestine to flush out poop.

    Enemas have an actual medical purpose in some situations, like to clear you out before a colonoscopy so your doctor can get a good look at your GI tract, or to help get things moving when you have severe constipation.

    But, outside of that, you really don’t need to have an enema, and you can even hurt yourself in the process.

    People have actually burned their colon from heat or caused severe irritation from chemicals and other ingredients during enemas, and you can even perforate the lining of your intestine during an enema. Yikes on yikes.

    So, if you feel like you could benefit from an enema, talk to your doctor (who, reminder, is not named Katy Perry) first. This really isn’t something you just want to do for kicks—whether you’re famous or not.
