Hellooo!
If I really wanted to read about ways of stopping hiccups (“hoquet“), a simple google search would be displaying thousands of pages with endless number of techniques to stop hiccups. Annoying and pointless hiccups which can last for a long time if you don’t put it to a halt.
Holding your breath or drinking warm water or scaring yourself are some of the techniques used by people around the world. Through this post, I wanted Mauritians to share THEIR own way of stopping these hiccups. You might have tried various ways but not all of them might have worked for you.
I bet that first of all, you want me to reveal my cure. Well, mine works flawlessly, most of the times.
I just sip water for 7 times, one after the another at a rapid pace. Don’t ask me why 7, it just works! lol
Now, tell us about your magic cure to stop hiccups 🙂
psst : If it really lasts long, it might be necessary to pay a visit to your doctor.
Holding your breath & relaxing. Works for me.

Maybe saying “Aal Izz Well” to your heart thrice should help. 😛

haha, nice one!
But normall, aal is wellz is for re-assuring the heart, not the brain. I’m not a medical student, but from what I read, the brain (through a nerve) needs to be fooled to stop the hiccups.
