This will compress your diaphragm and force it to stop spasming.<\/li>\n<li>Sit on the floor with your back against a wall.\u00a0 Breathe in as much as you can then breathe out slowly.\u00a0 Pull your knees up and hug them against your chest.<\/li>\n<li>Draw in as much air as you can, then breath in a little bit more.\u00a0 Push your stomach out as far as you can and hold your breath for about twenty seconds.\u00a0 Then breath out slowly and count backwards from twenty.\u00a0 Repeat these three or four times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>FOODS AND DRINKS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The idea behind each of these techniques is to overload your senses and distract your body from the spasms that are causing you to hiccup.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Place a teaspoon of sugar on the back of your tongue and let it melt there.\u00a0 Resist the urge to swallow until the sugar is totally dissolved.<\/li>\n<li>Gargle with salt water.<\/li>\n<li>Chew on a piece of liquorice root.<\/li>\n<li>Drink a teaspoon or two of pickle juice or straight apple cider vinegar.<\/li>\n<li>Place a pencil horizontally between your teeth and try to drink a full glass of water without removing it.<\/li>\n<li>Cover the top of the glass with a paper towel and drink through it. Drop some fresh herbs in the glass.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>DISTRACTING YOUR VAGAS NERVE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are several good methods for curing hiccups which involve stimulating the vagas nerve in order to distract it and hopefully stop the spasms.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Gently draw a toothpick along the roof of your mouth.<\/li>\n<li>Breath in as far as you can and hold it.\u00a0 Then stick out your tongue and tug on it.<\/li>\n<li>Tickle the roof of your mouth with a cotton swab.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Use these tricks to stop your hiccups. These methods might work for some and not for others. If your hiccups still fail to stop after 2 days straight, you need to consult a doctor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hiccups can come upon us out of the blue and they\u2019re not always easy to get rid of.\u00a0 The methods for curing hiccups can get very creative and not all of them work for everyone.\u00a0 Others still will only work once on an individual before they become ineffective.\u00a0 So what is a hiccuping person supposed to do?
