At
some point we found ourselves in a small curio
shop that seemed to deal in everything. Perfume,
crystals, small Japanese mechanized dogs… you
get the idea. From behind a beaded entryway emerged
an elegantly dressed lady who asked if we needed
assistance. I replied we were merely looking,
but upon hearing my daughter’s audible dilemma
she offered assistance.
She
stated her point of origin as Iran and said that
she had THE cure for hiccups. Having tried every
known “cure” (blow into a paperbag, drink water,
eat raw sugar, get scared, etc., etc.,) I was
a bit skeptical, however, there was something
in her conviction that made me toss caution to
the wind and place my daughter under her charge.
The
lady began by telling me that this was a cure
that was passed down from her mom, who learned
it from her mom, who learned it from her mom.
With my jaw firmly open she began the procedure.
I was amazed. Was this some ancient remedy passed
on through tradition? Who knows, but I will tell
you it works, and it works fast.
Older
kids or adults can try this procedure on their
own, however younger kids will need assistance.
The pictures will guide you.This procedure though
funny to watch actually works and works immediately. |
