Cure the Hiccups through Visualization and Breathing Exercises
This method for curing the hiccups is another breathing exercise that is easy to do anywhere at anytime. It focuses on controlled breathing and visualization techniques to help get rid of your hiccups.
Visualization can be an important part of curing the hiccups since many documented instances of hiccups point to a neurological influence on the hiccups.
This next cure uses both breathing exercises and mental visualization to correct the physical and neurological aspects of the hiccups.
Breathing in a Figure Eight to Cure the Hiccups
- Start by closing your eyes and imagining the shape of a figure eight in your mind.
- As you picture the figure 8 in your mind, begin slow controlled breathing.
- Imagine your breath flowing in and out of your body in the shape of the figure eight.
- As the air rolls into your lungs it enters your body and curls back upward at the bottom of your abdomen turning into an exhale.
- The exhale then flows out of your mouth in a circle and re-enters your body as you slowly begin to inhale again.
- The key here is slow controlled breathing with no abrupt pause between inhaling and exhaling. It is important to make the breaths flow into one another as you inhale and exhale.
In addition to curing the hiccups this controlled breathing technique helps promote good health and lowers blood pressure.
After performing this exercise for a few minutes your hiccups should be cured. If you are still experiencing the hiccups I would recommend trying some of the other exercises I outline on the site.

Curing Hiccups by Holding Your Breath & Sticking Out Your Tongue
As with many home remedies for hiccups some may seem humorous or funny but this does not mean you should discount them.
The methods I am listing on the site are documented from people all over the world as their most reliable ways for curing hiccups.
This next method is another breathing exercise that uses a slight variation of the previous methods I have discussed.
Cure Hiccups by Sticking Out Your Tongue and Plugging Your Ears
- The first thing you need to do is inhale and then exhale slowly forcing all the air out of your lungs. Do this until your body automatically tries to inhale more air.
- When this happens, stick out your tongue and take a long deep breath. Inhale slowly taking as much air into your lungs as possible until you feel like you can’t hold anymore.
- Then take your hands and plug your ears with your fingers.
- Hold your breath for as long as possible. Remember not to strain yourself as this can raise your blood pressure.
- After about 30 to 45 seconds, exhale slowly. Draw out your breath as much as possible.
You will probably need to repeat this exercise several times before it cures your hiccups. If it doesn’t work after several attempts remember that there are plenty of articles on the site to help you cure your hiccups.
Be patient and do not get discouraged.
