Donkey milk – a miracle food-medicine for your health
Donkey milk processing is a relatively new industry on the market in our country, although many western countries have been enjoying the wonderful effects of this milk for a long time. In fact, if we look back in history, Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt, used only donkey milk for the bathing ritual. Legend has it that in the 40’s BC, the beautiful queen had a farm of about 700 donkeys to provide her milk for her bathing routine. Hippocrates, the founder of the ancient school of medicine, used donkey milk as a remedy for various skin and lung conditions.
Well, thanks to the technological evolution, we don’t have to have our own donkey farms, but we can use various cosmetic preparations from this wonder milk or even buy it from hypermarkets.
Although it is a milk of animal origin, its pH and nutritional composition are almost similar to those of breast milk, being extremely rich in amino acids, niacin, vitamins (A, B, C, D and E), potassium, calcium, phosphorus and selenium. In addition, it is extremely low in fat, with a concentration of 0.5% lipids. Many people who buy it for the first time tend to think that it is not 100% natural or that it is diluted, as it leaves almost no marks on the glass after emptying the contents.
Among the main benefits we list:
- It has natural anti-aging effects due to its high content of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. Can be used to reduce wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes;
- Contributes to the increase of the body’s natural immunity;
- It is hypoallergenic, so suitable for any skin type in the treatment of eczema, psoriasis and acne;
- It regulates blood pressure and reduces the risk of myocardial infarction;
- It is effective in increasing fertility;
- Helps in the regeneration of the skin, provides firmness, hydration and radiance to the skin.
- Studies show that the effect is instantaneous due to the concentration of AHA, a compound that is usually used in expensive cosmetics;
- Helps maintain brain health and improve memory;
- Destroys harmful bacteria in the stomach and intestines. The antimicrobial protein contained in donkey’s milk is similar to that of breast colostrum;
- Lowers cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood;

- Helps strengthen the bone system, especially for menopausal women.
But the list of benefits does not end there. Due to its IgG, IgM and IgA immunoglobulins, it has been shown to be a powerful natural antibiotic. In the context of the coronavirus pandemic, it has been shown to be successful in treating Covid-19 infection as well as in the post-disease recovery period.
