Donkey milk is good for its anti-aging properties

#donkeymilk #popefrancis #antiaging #cleopatra The donkey’s milk has been identified by the ancients as a cure for a variety of ailments and an anti-aging skin tonic and this milk is believed to be enjoying a revival. Its popularity is on the rise because one than Pope Francis himself has recently revealed that, as a baby, he was fed this milk in Argentina to supplement his mother’s milk.
As an expert has admitted, the flavor of this milk is pleasant, odorless and looked and tasted just like skimmed cow’s milk, although a tad sweeter. And, it is a veritable elixir.
The medicinal value of donkey’s milk were first realized by the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates – it seems he had recommended it to combat a host of bodily woes, including liver problems, fevers, infectious diseases, poisoning, joint pains and nose bleeds. Subsequently, the Romans added constipation to that list.
Cleopatra used donkey milk as a moisturizer in cosmetics. The Egyptian queen used to take a daily bath in it, with a steady stream of milk supplied by more than 700 lactating asses. The stuff is said to have powers to erase facial wrinkles, make the skin more delicate and maintain the whiteness. These are remarks of Pliny the Elder, an ancient Roman know-it-all.
Just for the records - fresh donkey milk used to be widely available in 19th-century London as an alternative to the highly adulterated cows’ milk that used to be sold by dairies.
