a glass of sugarcane and rude. (To ward off evil)
The tradition apparently dates back to the Guarani Indians, who already have recognized the medical capabilities of the rugged male internally used successfully against certain parasites and gastrointestinal ailments and externally to relieve burning and irritation of being bitten by bugs and vermin. Rue, on the other hand, according to popular belief, is a plant that should not miss in any home, since it is conceived as a real bad spell against the waves, the envy of others and bad luck.
Similar to other customs which they spread in many cultures late winter (as the appalling purges with castor oil in the early spring), August 1 was thrust upon us the tradition of drinking a drink (or three sips fasting) with rough cane. The choice of August 1 certainly has a special meaning is the day that honors the Pachamama, and marks the time when winter begins to recede in search of spring.
is a tradition that has spread throughout the country, although originally it was fed (drink, better) in northeastern Argentina, especially rooted in the country of Corrientes, where in each home or business that prides itself on preserving the customs ancient, never missing a jar or a bottle of aguardiente (popularly known among us as "Paraguayan cane") or flavored with harsh male, for weeks and even months, is macerated.
The belief is that the brew is used to "chase away the evils of winter" and to prepare the body "in the heat of summer." The "warming" that seeks alcohol, on the other hand, lead to the belief that the drink would help prevent flu states.
Most Orthodox claim that the drink-or three-cane with rude should be drunk before breakfast. The danger is, of course, dizzy, and losing the desire to face the rigors of day labor.
The virtues of the rod with rough beyond the exorcism of diseases, to become a rite of atonement, and a vaccine against the evil eye and bad luck all year. Cheers
