Cure For Hiccups
12 Aug, 2004
A great big spoonful of honey has worked for me without fail for as long as I can remember - that is the cure I grew up with.
I discovered tonight that maple syrup (pure maple syrup) works in a pinch if you're out of honey.
Is it pure placebo effect, or does the act of swallowing a viscous fluid actually do something to calm the diaphragm down?
