The Process:
I usually have the person sit comfortably in a chair. (Tip: start just after a hiccup.)
1.Tell the person that you are going to cure their hiccups (be positive, it couldn't hurt!)
2.Tell the person that you will be asking them to exhale all the way, receive instructions, then inhale all
the way and receive instructions.
3.OK, have the person exhale completely and hold it (don't inhale yet). Have them nod to you to let
you know that they have done it (the lung is empty of air).
4.Still without inhaling, have them attempt to push out once any additional air.
5.Now two more attempts.
6.Have the person inhale completely and hold it (don't let out any air yet). Have them nod to you to let
you know they are full of air.
7.While they are holding it, have them take a sip of air.
8.Now two more sips.
9.Tell them to exhale normally.
10.Say to them "you're cured!"
The whole process should be done without interruption (incuding a hiccup, cough, breath, etc) in about a
half minute. I don't know the physiology as to why this works, but it does. Hope this helps you.
