LeAnn Rimes undergoes $45,000 'blood cleaning' treatment... after her teeth FELL OUT mid-performance

LeAnn Rimes has revealed she's undergone an intensive procedure costing up to $45,000 to 'clean' her blood of mold and microplastics.

The country music star, 43, shared a candid video on Instagram this week from her trip to Next Health medical clinic in Nashville, showing herself hooked up to a machine as she underwent the procedure.

The costly longevity treatment removes the liquid portion of blood, filtering out toxins, antibodies and inflammatory agents before replacing it with fresh plasma.

'I demand so much from my body and it's incredibly important to me to take the best care of it I possibly can,' she captioned her video, which showed her reclining in a chair with tubes connected to her arms.

An individual plasma exchange session at the clinic - lasting from one to three hours - costs $10,000, while a 3-session package is $24,000 and six is $45,000. 

The Can't Fight the Moonlight hitmaker, who is married to actor Eddie Cibrian, 52, added: 'This is my second round of plasma exchange to help clear microtoxins, such as mold and microplastics and this time, I've added stem cells to encourage overall repair.'

The Grammy winner said she was 'listening to my body and choosing what feels supportive for this season of healing, especially after a very busy year of filming and touring'.

She is not the only celebrity to jump on the 'blood-cleansing' bandwagon.

Last summer, Hollywood star Orlando Bloom, 49, underwent the same treatment worth £10,000 (approximately $13431.95) in London's Harley Street to remove microplastics and toxic chemicals from his blood.

Next Health, where Rimes went, describes Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) as a cutting-edge procedure that 'supports longevity, immune resilience, and overall cellular health by optimizing the body's internal environment'.

It is typically used to treat autoimmune disorders, neurological conditions and certain blood diseases. 

Rimes added: 'The idea behind TPE is to remove harmful substances or antibodies that might be in a patient's plasma, such as toxins, autoimmune antibodies, or other harmful proteins.

'By removing these substances, the body can have a chance to recover or respond better to other treatments.'

The star acknowledged the privilege of accessing such treatments, writing: 'I want to say this with care I'm very aware that access to treatments like this isn't universal.

'I share with sensitivity and humility, not as a prescription, but as information about what's been working for me.'

She added: 'I've always been passionate about health and open conversations around it, and I know when I share these experiences it often sparks a lot of curiosity and thoughtful questions.

'My hope is simply to inform and continue the dialogue around what healing can look like.'

The step mom-of-two has been very candid about her health struggles over the years, including battles with anxiety, depression and psoriasis, as well as her journey through perimenopause.

Last October, she told US Weekly that going through perimenopause was 'no joke', revealing: 'I had a really heavy mercury load in my body [which] can really stress out the nervous system.

'Completely detoxing my body and removing some of the toxicity has leveled things out.'

The singer, who shot to fame aged just 13 with her hit Blue, also disclosed she had sought out specialist doctors to properly manage her hormonal changes and had undergone Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for intrusive thoughts.

'There's grief that comes along with it that no one talks about,' she said of perimenopause. 'It's such a deepening of the soul and allowing pieces of us that no longer serve us to fall away.'

Rimes also had a bit of a dental mishap on stage last year with her teeth falling out mid-performance during a show at the Skagit Valley Casino & Resort in Bow, Washington.

The singer  - who has had multiple dental surgeries in the past and whose jaw memorably dislocated during a 2014 concert - detailed the excruciating moment her dental bridge 'popped out' with her Instagram followers in June. 

She said: 'We’re going to do a little story time about how the show must go on. And this is the most epic example of how the show must go on.

'So last night, I was on stage in the middle of One Way Ticket. I feel something pop in my mouth. And if you’ve been around, you know I’ve had a lot of dental surgeries, and I have a bridge in the front. It fell out in the middle of my song last night.'

A panicked Rimes called out 'hold on!' as she ran to the side of the stage and popped the bridge back in.

She added: 'I just had to get real with everybody and tell them exactly what was happening or else I would have had to walk off stage. And so, for the rest of the show, I was literally like this pushing my teeth in like every couple lines and singing.

'I don’t usually have firsts in my career. That was a first and hopefully a last. I hope my teeth stay in tonight. We shall see.

'The front row, get ready for something to fly out. If you catch them please return them.

'And you know, like I said, there wasn’t a thing I could do about it except either walk off or just hold my teeth in. So, I just ran with it.'

Rimes said she hoped other artists could be inspired by her onstage gaffe and know 'that the show can go on in the midst of sheer, utter embarrassment.'

The star is balancing her singing with a particularly busy period in her acting career. The singer-actress is currently starring in 9-1-1: Nashville, where she plays Dixie Bennings, a former backup singer who is 'obsessed' with her son.

'I get to let out a side of myself that doesn't ever come out in real life, so it's very healing in that way,' she has said. 'It was definitely a stretch for me.'
