Warm milk to soothe?

[rollinloud]

Does anyone out there use warm milk when feeling light headed or a little sick to the stomach? Does it really help soothe the entire body? A friend just recommended it to me because my toes are cold and I feel a little dizzy.

The only time I would use milk for an upset stomach woe if I wanted to empty its contents!

Otherwise, I avoid drinking cow's milk and never put it in my cereal. I get my calcium from other foods like leafy green vegetables or supplements.

I agree with your strategy, MercyL. Warm milk used to soothe me when I was younger and couldn't sleep or was restless with pains and aches so I thought I'd bring it up and see if anyone still used it. I probably won't go back to it. I'm avoiding animal by products at the moment and plan to do so indefinitely

I think it's supposed to help a body relax and fall asleep more quickly... but I haven't heard of it being beneficial for a sick stomach and I'd think not as far as any pain relief, either.

No, to be honest I never thought drinking milk with an upset stomach would be good for me. I heard it can help you to relax when you can't sleep, specially when the milk it's warm, but it has never worked for me

Milk and me meet only in tea or coffee, some how I can not manage to drink fresh milk straight. I know my kids take it when they cant sleep but I don't know if it has the same effect with a grown up.

May be I should try even though I will add some cocoa just to change the taste.
