Name of Remedy: Hic-cups

Instructions: When someone hic-cups ask them "Have you ever ridden a white horse?" you will probably have to repeat yourself. This only works if the person has never heard it before.

Ingredients: Your own saliva!!
Instructions: Simply swallow 7 times your own saliva without a hiccup in between (if you miss, just start over).Sounds absurd? I totally agree! But it's been working for me for years! Try it: you got nothing to lose(except your hiccups...!).

Ingredients... um... YOUR HANDS :)

Carbon Dioxide cures hiccups... so, all you have to do is cup your hands around your mouth and breath in and out a few times. Can you think of anything simpler?

Get someone else to pour a glass of water and hold it to your lips and then you drink. You must not touch the glass. Drink as much as they offer. (Of course they should only offer as much as a person could handle.) Never fails, as long as the person with the hiccups does not touch the glass.


I learned this one from my sisters. You take a cup of water and drink, but while you drink it you plug your ears and your nose at the same time. after one drink of water your hiccups will be gone. this has never failed me and it works best if you have a straw.

GO SWIMMING. There is something to the way that you hold your breath while you are swimming under water that can't be duplicated when your not. It works for the kids when they swim in the pool in the summer. Just swim for the fun of it and before you know it, your hiccups will be gone!
