From Grandma’s Purse: 20 Magical and Effective Tips to Stop Hiccups

Hiccups stop as soon as taste changes

When hiccups do not stop, the most effective method is to distract the nerve receptors in the throat. Try these 5 solutions for this:

• 1. Wonders of Granulated Sugar: Slowly put one spoonful of granulated sugar in your mouth and swallow it. The sweetness of sugar stimulates the nerves of the tongue, which immediately stops the hiccup reflex.

• 2. Honey and White Vinegar: Mix half a teaspoon of honey in one teaspoon of white vinegar. Its spicy and sweet taste interrupts the signals that cause hiccups.

• 3. Licking Lemon Juice: As soon as you have hiccups, immediately lick a spoonful of lemon juice. This sour taste helps to re-set your nervous system.

• 4. Ripe Banana: If you have persistent hiccups, eat a ripe banana. This fruit calms digestion by neutralizing stomach acid.

• 5. Sweetness of Honey: Just slowly licking a spoonful of pure honey can instantly soothe throat muscle spasms.

The spices present in our kitchen have medicinal properties that cure stomach gas and contraction of the diaphragm:

• 6. Chewing Green Cardamom: Put one or two green cardamoms in your mouth and chew them slowly. It not only improves digestion but also relaxes the diaphragm.

• 7. Ginger and Honey Juice: Mix one spoon honey in half spoon ginger juice and lick it. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce muscle spasms.

• 8. Roasted Cumin Powder: Mix half a teaspoon of roasted cumin powder in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It expels stomach gas immediately, thereby stopping hiccups.
