Ingredients: Honey, preferably local grown honey that is not filtered or pastuerized!
Instructions: Honey is anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-microbial. At the first \"tingle\" begin to apply honey liberally like a
lip gloss all over the spot. Continue to apply all throughout the day. Keep honey by nightstand and apply again before bed
and any time you get up in the night. This often gets rid of a sore before it even comes out. If a sore is already formed,
continue this remedy until sore is gone, usually 1-4 days. This remedy works on Herpes Simplex I & II. If you have a break-
out of Herpes Simplex II just line underwear with plenty of panty liners and liberally apply honey to affected areas,
especially after each urination. This will wipe out a case overnight in most cases, within 3-4 days for strong cases. The
Honey must be applied around the clock until all symptoms are gone! Sorry guys, if you want to use this remedy you will
have to use panty liners to protect your underwear, too, unless you can add a gauze to infected area.

Ingredients: Peanut Butter- Creamy, 1-2 spoonfuls
Instructions: Eat it. Let it slide down your throat. One usually works, but you may need two for a really bad case. I like to say I invented this, because I never heard of it before. But I\'m pretty sure it\'s been around the block. It absolutely works.

INGREDIENTS: Compressions
INSTRUCTIONS: Hold you head straight and have another compress betweencervical vertebra3 and 4 by fore finger and thumb on both sides behind the neck in a pinching motion. Hold this position for approximately two minutes until the urge to hiccup is gone. This is a technique I learned when I went to college to be
a Licensed Medical Massage Therapist. This pressure will paralyze your diaphram so you cannot hiccup. Hiccups are caused from retaining too much CO2 from taking small breaths instead of large breaths that supplies you with the O2 that you need.

COUNTRY_OF_REMEDY: USA

INGREDIENTS: water or saliva
INSTRUCTIONS: I discovered this remedy for hiccups many years ago in my teens and it has always worked for me, without fail. It does work quickest if you do it as soon as the hiccups start. Take a large sip of water to fill your mouth (don't swallow) or use your own saliva if water isn't available. While you hold it in your mouth, take very tiny swallows, as small an amount as you can, from what you have in you mouth. Keep doing this until the mouthful is gone. The hiccups should be gone after one mouthful, but if not do it again right away. I think this works because it is forcing your throat muscles to work differently and very deliberately and throws off the rhythm of the hiccups.

INGREDIENTS: Salt, Lime Juice, Silver Colored spoon (can be stainless
steel-it just can not be plastic)
INSTRUCTIONS: Take a silver colored tablespoon--the big ones (any metal will do as long as it is silver and not plastic. Put enough salt on the spoon to halfway fill the middle. Then squirt lime juice on the spoon until it is filled. The lime juice can either be fresh or from a bottle. Last, swallow the entire contents of the spoon and make sure that when you do, you also consume the salt at the same time as the lime juice. Your hiccups will go away. I got this remedy from one of the ladies that was in my history class after I told her about my daughter's hiccup bouts. Sure enough--It works every time I give her or anyone else this remedy.

INGREDIENTS: none
INSTRUCTIONS: Because hiccups cause a spasm of the diaphragm, relaxing it seems to work for me.
I developed this after my wife taught me to relax muscles at will. She learned in LAMAZE class, the courses used to help womenrelax during child birth. I figured if it could help during that stressful time hiccups ought to be a breeze.

INGREDIENTS: Peanut Butter
INSTRUCTIONS: I vouch for the peanut butter. It really works! Sometimes you need two spoonfulls to do the trick but one huge spoonful of creamy peanut butter would do it. It works because it sticks the esophogus(sp) or whatever together and relaxes it back to normal, instead of doing a spasm.

NAME_OF_REMEDY: hiccups
INGREDIENTS: water, a cup, and a napkin or paper towel
INSTRUCTIONS: This sounds kinda gross but REALLY works.... the next time you get the hiccups, take a glass of water(plain drinking water) place a napkin or paper towel over the top of the cup... then drink the water through the paper towel. Sounds gross but really works, you may want to stand over the sink when doing this, it can sometimes make a little mess. This works so well that my little 5 year old nephew brings me a paper towel when he gets the hiccups, and asks me to get him water!

INSTRUCTIONS: This is the easiest remedy I know. Holding your breathe for a long period of time doesn't really work and is mostly annoying. All you have to do is drink exactly 11 sips of water (in a row) and your hiccups will be gone. Make sure it's exactly 11 sips, or else it won't work. :-)

Ingredients = none
Instructions = Using your pointer and middle finger, apply slight pressure to the soft spot directly behind your ear. You don't need to hold your breath or anything, just apply pressure and your hiccups will go away in less than 20 seconds as long as you are pressing on the right spot. When I read about this it seemed a little too easy, but I tried it at work and they went away immediately. Anytime anyone at work has hiccups I tell them what to do, they look at me like I am crazy, but they try it and it has worked every time. Good Luck!

Instructions: As a child, I loved to hiccup. But, I could never hiccup more than twice or three times. Thatis when I learned this technique.To best get rid of the hiccups, just hold the mouth slightly open and concentrate on the throat. Anticipate that next hiccup. Wait for it. Block out everything else around you. It won't come if you do this!

For hiccups, all you need to do is take a medium to deep breath and simply hold it in for as long as you possibly can. if it does not work the first time try it again. this is much easier than many of the remedies on the hiccup page, but it may not work for some people. but hey, its easy and you dont have to clean it up.

Ingredients: 1 glass of water
Instructions: My great-grandmother taught me this one and believe me -- It works every time. You actually hold your breath (pinch your nose
shut) and take 9 consecutive gulps of water. Then breathe easy. If you do this correctly, you'll immediately notice that your hiccups have
stopped.

Ingredients: 1 glass of water
1 pencil or pen

Instructions: Fill the glass with water, preferably full. Place the pen or pencil in your mouth horizontally between your front teeth, so that the ends are against your cheeks. Now standing over the sink, or bath tub for children, drinl the glass of water without pausing. If you have to pause that is fine. It will still work. It has never failed me. My mother had me do it all the time when I was young.
