Folklore of Huancayo

There are several traditional remedies that the natives of Huancayo will suggest. Ill list a few now – pretty much the ones I remember.

If you are having GI tract problems, there are two things you can do:
1) Drink the piss of a baby pig.
2) If you don’t like that option you can smoke a cigar and blow the smoke down your clothes. That supposedly helps

If you have an affliction and nobody knows what’s wrong with you there is an answer! Have somebody take a guinea pig and rub it all over your body. It then “mysteriously” dies. I think they simply strangle the beast. Once the deed is done, you can cut open the guinea pig – in an autopsy like fashion – to determine what is wrong with the sick person.
