Everybody gets hiccups. Even babies in the womb get hiccups! They are so annoying, but I'm here to tell you about my cure for hiccups. Now, you will read this and think I'm nuts. You will! You will laugh and say, this will never work. But, the next time you get the hiccups, I double dare you to try my method and see for yourself that it works. I don't know how and I don't know why, but it works. So, what do I do? Here you go:
1. Fill a glass with water about 3/4 the way full.
2. Put a clean paper towel over the glass.
3. Drink about half of that water through the paper towel. That's right--drink it with the paper towel on the glass.
4. Take the paper towel off and finish drinking the rest of the water.
5. Enjoy being hiccup free.
That's it, that's all and it WORKS! I have been doing this for years now. Every time someone sees me do it I get this strange look and I have to explain to them why I'm doing it. And then they look at me as if they are thinking, "sure, you're crazy!" BUT, I've had a lot of people try it now, and although they are skeptical, they've become a believe too!
So, try it next time you have the hiccups--and make sure you come back and tell me about the results!

I have tried this one before and it didn't work. My favorite remedy is Gripe Water.
ReplyDeleteWow really, it is a no-fail one for me. I have tried it, I'm sure, over 100 times now!
ReplyDeletei usually eat a spoon of sugar
ReplyDeleteThe only no fail I have found for everyone barring medical issues is a spoon full of sugar. I used it on my 3 year old the other day and it even worked for her.
ReplyDeleteSince I was a kid I have taken a big deep breath and then drank a spoonful of apple cider vinegar and then let the breath out. Always works! If you don't like the taste of the vinegar or if it's too strong take a few whiffs of it first...for some reason it helps it go down (I think it's yummy though). :)
ReplyDeleteThere's a pressure point on your ear that helps relax the diaphragm. That's what I do. Otherwise, I just slowly breathe and try to relax my diaphragm. (But I'm a singer and was trained how to 'use' those muscles.) I do get the hiccups all the time though when I stop my regular practice schedule.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this one anywhere yet and the Holy Spirit showed it to me so give God credit if it works for you. Take your hand and push back under your rib cage at the bottom of your breast bone or sternum. That's at the location of the diaphragm. I pushed as far as I comfortably could and the hiccups immediately stopped. I held the pressure just a little bit longer to make sure they were gone, and they were!
