The milk bath is famous and, according to what is said about Cleopatra, it has been known since ancient times, as this ruler took advantage of the benefits of this practice, known not only by the Egyptians but also by the Greeks.The milk bath may have benefits for various skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, and dry skin, and although there is still not enough scientific research, people recommend using milk baths due to their properties, such as their protein, fat, vitamin, mineral, and lactic acid content.You might not be so clear on what a milk bath consists of today, so it is worth mentioning that it is no longer necessary to use donkey milk, as it simply involves adding milk, either liquid or powdered, to hot water in a bathtub, tub, or pool.Different types of milk can be used, such as whole, buttermilk, or buttermilk, plant-based milks such as coconut, rice, or soy milk, or powdered milk, so you can experiment with your preferred type. To do this, you can add 1 to 2 cups of milk to a tub filled with warm water.Here’s a very useful video in case you want to make homemade coconut or rice milk.But you can also add essential oils, bath salts, honey, or baking soda for additional benefits.
