Home remedies

[sean miguel]

I've had an issue with serious hiccups since I was a ***. But this remedy which was handed down from my grandma has worked for me each time: take 7 sips of water (why 7 and why water? nevermind) then inhale deeply and hold your breath for as long as you can. I always use that as a last resort because it's cheesy af, but it's always worked.

thanks grandma!

I just tried it with **** and it's not working.

Fix for hiccups: take a mouth full.of water, bend forward at the waist as far as you can, slowly swallow the water, count to 10 then stand up straight again.

An issue of where the air goes, what the body thinks it should do, overcorrects and now creates a perpetual problem.

I think home remedies are both homeopathic (natural goodness) and placebo effect. If you are actively trying to get rid of something, your mind sends... a badly translated message... over a line with high packet loss.. to the source of the issue.
Does it work? Of course. You did it, yourself. Did it really work? No. You self-cured by changing the displacement and viscosity of the whole situation that involves breathing, ergo your body has to pull a 'soft reset' and hopefully it wont boot back into the issue.

(After rereading this, yeah.. I dunno why techspeak works in every situation, but.. it does. SO whatever. )

Finally figured out why I had a similar issue. We both eat rice, I have a feeling. Do you notice those hiccups when you shovel down rice too fast? I get that and I finally realized it's from my food dragging down, taking its sweet time in a too dry of throat. Waters washes it out for me.

As for hiccups cure, I take the biggest breath I can and send it as low into my abdomen I can. Works like a charm but requires you to yoga vision that breath deep down.

I grew up on rice so that's probably related. It's not a staple for me anymore since I've been on my own (I miss ***'s cooking) but last night's episode I'm pretty sure was ****-induced. And yes, exactly what you described - you almost have to fracture your rib cage with that inhale then hold it right before ******** sometimes.

but those 7 sips of water though.

Swallow sugar (just enough that would be in a sugar packet so what, a tsp worth?).

Apparently the sugar stimulates something called the vagus nerve and that makes your body forget about the hiccups. Anyways, this usually helps me.

thank you. I welcome all suggestions, though I suspect Harpsman's was meant to **** me somehow. jk.
