Milk is cold for the body or in scientific language it is alkaline in nature. Ayurveda calls it “Balkarak” and “Brauhan” when taken in morning which means skinny people can take it in the morning to gain strength, weight and to increase digestive fire. When consumed in daytime, it becomes “Ruchikar” and “Mutrakruchh” which means it improves your appetite and urinate well if you have urinary problems or obstruction. When taken at night it works on so many body problems. Milk increases digestive fire of children and nourishes “Shukra Dhatu” in elders.
It is mentioned as “Guru”, means heavy
to digest, so people with low digestive fire should not take it in night .If they
want to, they can add one or two pinch of “Sunthi” or dried ginger to
it. It is the milk protein and fat which makes it heavy to digest.
Buffalo’s
milk is heavier than cow’s milk and is a good hunger suppressant and remedy for
insomnia. Obese person or person with fatty liver, hypothyroidism and
cholesterol should not go for buffalo’s milk. Ayurveda prescribes “Trikatu Churna”
to be taken with buffalo’s milk so it can be digested easily.
Milk always
should be taken warm and not cold.
