Home Remedies: Hiccups

Hiccups are a big pain in the butt for everyone. I’m sure we can all agree on that. The thing is, we’ve all probably heard of “cures” and such. In this case, if you have any that work for you please feel free to share them in the comments. Below are some cures that I came across for you to try!

Sugar. A popular old “remedy” uses a spoonful of sugar and a little water. All you do is gulp down a spoonful of sugar and wait a minute. Then follow it with a sip or two of water. If they start up again, repeat that process.

Another one that I’ve seen work on someone is the simple remedy of drinking a cup of water, upside down. It’s pretty fun to try and it couldn’t hurt to try. Some people say that if you use ice water, that is why it works. Others say it’s because you take a big breath before going upside down to take the drink and that’s why it works.
