Heidi Klum reveals how she felt after 'yucky' worm and parasite cleanse

Heidi Klum admitted the worm and parasite cleanse was a 'yucky' process

Heidi Klum and her husband Tom Kaulitz "felt great" after completing a worm and parasite cleanse.

The 52-year-old supermodel has no idea if the wellness trend - which involves taking herbal supplements - actually ridded them of worms or parasites and admitted it was a "yucky" process, but insists she and the 36-year-old musician felt good afterwards.  

She told People: "So many people asked me, too, like 'What happened?' I'm like, 'I don't even know if anything happened!'

"It just felt good ... just if there are any [worms or parasites], then I hope that they were leaving the body, because I hear so many people talk about this all the time."

She went on: "It's easier to do this with a partner in the morning because you have to drink this weird stuff.

"It's all herbal, but nonetheless it's yucky and you have to do this routine of doing it every day in order to kill it in all of the eggs, apparently. You have to do two rounds instead of two weeks. We did two rounds in order to hopefully kill eggs and things. But yeah, we felt great afterwards."

The Project Runway star previously admitted she was influenced by social media to try the cleanse.

Heidi told the Wall Street Journal in August: "I'm going to deworm and de-parasite for the first time. Everything I'm getting on my Instagram feed at the moment is about worms and parasites. So I'm doing a worm cleanse and parasite cleanse with my husband.

"I heard that you're supposed to do this once a year, and I've never done it. So I feel like I'm really behind. I don't know what the heck is going to come out."

The blonde beauty added: "Apparently, we all have parasites and worms. If you are someone who eats raw things every now and then, like, for example, sushi. There are pills (to get rid of them), they have all of these herbs. There's a lot of clove in there. The parasite hates clove. They also hate the seeds from a papaya. We have all this metal inside of us, and it's also very important that you use this de-metaling stuff.

"I'm starting this now, and you have to do this for months. It's like a whole thing."
