The
following routine helps both prevent and relieve your hiccups.
Usually applying just the first three steps, which take three to four
minutes, will stop the hiccups. Lie down or sit comfortably and
breathe deeply as you hold each of the following points.
Step One: Lightly Press TW17:
Place your middle and index fingers behind each earlobe. This point is usually ultrasensitive to finger pressure. Lightly hold these tender points for one minute.
Step Two: Firmly Hold SP16:
Curve your fingers to hold the base of your rib cage directly below your nipples. Close your eyes and breathe deeply for one minute as you gently press up into the indentations at the base of your ribs.
Step Three: Hold CV22 And CV17:
Place your right middle finger in the hollow at the base of your throat, gently directing pressure downward. Use all the fingers of your left hand to firmly hold the center of your breastbone in the slight indentations of the breastbone. Close your eyes and take long, deep breaths for one minute.
