The actress is a big fan of Mexican yam, which is supposed to relieve stress. She describes it as \'brilliant\' and \'the best hormone-balancing supplement\'.

After being introduced to yoga by Sting, Madonna just can\'t get enough of the rigorous exercise regime.

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\'

Jennifer Aniston

Despite all her red carpet rambles, Jennifer loves nothing more than getting comfy on the couch to relieve her celebrity stress. \'I\'m a homebody\', says the star. \'I just potter around the house, turn on the computer and try to return some emails\'
