If donkey milk is beneficial for the skin, could it also be taken?

Of course, it would be a much more practical way to beautify than traveling with an entourage of 500 donkeys, as Cleopatra did. The truth is that, although ingested it does not have the same effects as when applied to the skin, the milk of this animal is the most similar in composition to human. The habit of drinking one milk or another has been conditioned more by the type of mammal that predominates in different peoples. The consumption of donkey and camel milk is common in certain eastern regions. Medicinal properties are attributed to it to treat various respiratory conditions and in some cultures it is used in the treatment of whooping cough (drinking a glass on an empty stomach immediately after milking it). However, it is not effective as a substitute for cow's milk in case of allergy or intolerance, since those affected tend to also react to donkey's milk proteins. It is a common ingredient in punches and other alcoholic beverages.
