A short while ago, the world's oldest woman passed away at 116 years of age. Her name was Maria Esther de Capovilla from Ecuador, and her longevity was put firmly down to the wonders of donkey's milk. Donkey milk? This was news to me. After all, I seek out new beauty anti-aging products like I'm going to die tomorrow. I've never heard of donkey's milk as the secret to beauty and longevity.
For centuries, donkey’s milk has been recognized and revered for its exceptional anti-aging and regenerating qualities. It was Cleopatra’s secret to eternal beauty. Very famous were the baths of Cleopatra who used to travel with hundreds of donkeys to fill the royal bath tubs. It is rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, and C, D and E and minerals and the high proteins in the milk help the skin to feel smooth and silky.
Why donkey milk? According to CosmeticsDesign.com, "The milk also has 60 times the vitamin C content as cow's milk, as well as containing vitamins A, D and E, and is a rich source of calcium and phosphorous, making it highly beneficial, both for consumption and skin care applications."
I know the next question... where to find it. There are Web sites devoted to the burro-juice, such as bohemia-style.com, or www.kickingdonkeyproducts.com. IF anyone has used a product with donkey milk let us know what you think.
I'm ordering me up some donkey milk right now!
