Gwyneth Paltrow

In 2004, Gwyneth caused a stir when she arrived at a premiere with large circular bruises on her back. They were believed to have been caused by cupping, which involves having jars of hot air pressed against your skin to improve the blood flow and get rid of toxins.

She says, 'I'm very into Chinese medicine and the concept that you can keep yourself healthy, as opposed to waiting until you're sick and then going to get Western prescriptions for antibiotics or things that are really hard on our organs. I love Chinese medicine like acupuncture and cupping. It sorts me out'
