Baba Ramdev Drinks Donkey Milk in Viral Video, Claims Cleopatra Used It for Beauty

A new video featuring Baba Ramdev has gone viral, showing the yoga guru drinking donkey milk and promoting its health benefits. In the clip, Ramdev is seen extracting milk from a donkey and later drinking it while explaining its advantages.

Known for his promotion of Patanjali products and alternative health remedies, Baba Ramdev has built a significant following for advocating yoga and Ayurveda. However, he has also faced controversies, including legal battles over his claims regarding alternative COVID-19 treatments and misleading advertisements.

In the viral video, Ramdev discusses the purported benefits of donkey milk, a less common dairy source compared to cow, buffalo, or goat milk. The video shows him expressing excitement as he extracts the milk for the first time, sharing that he has previously milked camels, cows, sheep, and goats. Ramdev calls donkey milk a “super tonic” and “super cosmetic,” claiming it is good for both health and beauty.

After drinking the milk, he praised its taste, saying it was “very tasty” and noted that although he had consumed other types of milk, donkey milk stood out. Ramdev further elaborated on the milk’s benefits, mentioning that Cleopatra, the ancient Egyptian queen, used to bathe in donkey milk to preserve her beauty.
