Curing the Hiccups with the “30 Second Cure”

Another popular method for curing the hiccups is the “30 Second Cure For Hiccups” which can be found in it’s entirety at Cognitial .com.

This is the method that was recommended to me by a doctor while trying to cure my bout with “persistent hiccups”. This method didn’t offer a long term solution for persistent hiccups but did offer short periods of relief prior to the Thorazine kicking in.

Use the following breathing method to perform the 30 Second Cure for Hiccups:

1. First take a deep breath slowly drawing air into the lungs. Continue to breathe in air until you can’t take anymore in.
2. Now close your mouth and hold your breath. With your mouth closed try to perform a swallowing motion. Picture in your mind that you have a small amount of water in your mouth, and do your best to try and swallow it.
3. Once you have swallowed you should be able to breath in more air. Slightly open your mouth and suck in more air all the while still holding your breath.
4. Perform the swallowing motion again. Repeat the steps above until you can not hold anymore air in your lungs. Once you have reached this part slowly exhale the air in your lungs.
5. Breathe the air out as slowly as possible in an effort to draw out the breath. It is recommended that a good exhale should last up to 30 seconds.

Repeat the steps above until your hiccups are cured.

Information on Persistent Hiccups and the 30 Second Cure

As I mentioned before, this method didn’t work for me when I had persistent hiccups. You can see based on the feedback on the 30 Second Cure for Hiccups webpage that this method is very effective and has helped thousands of people cure their hiccups.

There are two considerations to keep in mind though. In most cases of normal hiccups there are many home remedies that will help a person. In a case of persistent hiccups the severity of the condition may cause normal remedies to be ineffective.

The next consideration to keep in mind is that you are doing the exercise correctly. The biggest factor that a lot of people seem to miss is the importance of breathing in and holding your breath until your lungs are completely full of air.

This method can take practice so if it doesn’t work the first time, do not give up. It just means you need to try again and maybe you will have more luck.
