Home Remedies To Get Rid Of Hiccups Part 2

4) Swallow Something Sour - The sour acidity found in vinegar and pickle juice can also disrupt the esophagus, which puts an end to your hiccupping situation. Drink half a teaspoon of either vinegar or pickle juice, every 10 seconds until the hiccups go away. Yes, this does sound rather unpleasant, but it works. 

5) Try a Little Hot Sauce - Hot sauce helps by distracting you from hiccupping. The hot spicy flavor burns inside your mouth and digestive tract long enough to help you forget about that terrible hiccupping situation. You don't have to reach for the ulta hot tabasco sauce, the mild stuff will do just as well. 

 6) Powdered Chocolate Can Help - A delicious teaspoon of powdered cocoa mix can work wonders for your hiccups. Take a spoonful of powdered cocoa or Ovaltine mix, and swallow it right away. The difficult swallowing process of the cocoa can help put an end to the hiccups. 

7) The Paper Towel Method - Put a single layer of paper towel over the top of a glass, and then drink through the towel. A napkin may be used as an alternative. The paper towel forces your diaphragm to work harder, in order to drink the water. The hiccups should disappear after that. 

8) Chew On Some Dill - This hiccup cure goes back a long way. Chewing on a teaspoon of dill seeds helps to stimulate the vagus nerve, which should put an end to your hiccupping nightmare, once and for all! Dill seeds can also be mixed with tea as an alternative to stop the hiccups. 

9) The Brown Paper Bag Method - Paper bags are used to prevent hyperventilating, and help cure the hiccups. Breathing slowly and deeply into a small paper bag increases the carbon dioxide level in the blood. This process allows the diaphragm to contract deeper to bring more oxygen in. The hiccups should end after a few deep breaths.
