Doctors are warning women to not take the 'irresponsible' advice of putting parsley in their vagina to kick-start their period.
The bizarre suggestion was made by women's magazine Marie Claire alongside other recommendations using food, drink and exercise.
Women may want to make their period come sooner as a means of controlling their cycle ahead of a holiday or special event.
According to the article, parsley is an emmenagogue - a substance that increases menstrual flow - which can 'soften the cervix and level out hormonal imbalances'.

Marie Clare has now apologised for the article and taken it down because it is 'misguided'
Dr Sheila Newman, an obstetrician-gynaecologist from New Jersey, also spoke of her concern over the practice, which is not medically advised. She branded it 'irresponsible'.
She said: 'That is not something that is recommended by gynaecologists.
'There are only a few things that should go in your vagina and vegetables generally aren't one of them.'

‘She Said’:
“Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, cause I’ve worked in a lot of offices and I tell you people do that all the time.”
Thanks to George Constanza....
What about mint?

My former boss who was an army captain in Vietnam said a nurse in their unit put a cucumber in her vagina. She was too embarrassed to ask help when she couldn’t retrieve it. The nurse died of septic shock.
