Hiccups are the most common problem that most of us have already suffered several times right from our childhood.

We are going to tell you today how to get rid of hiccups through simple natural ways.

But first of all.. let me tell you the reason behind the Hiccups.

Diaphragm, a dome-shaped muscle at the bottom of your chest is responsible for hiccups.

When you inhale, it pulls down, helping your body draw air into your lungs. When you exhale, it moves up to force air out of your lungs. This is the normal functioning of Diaphragm.

But when the diaphragm becomes irritated, it jerks downward, causing you to suddenly draw air into your throat. And this abrupt rush of air causes your vocal cords to close, causing a hiccup sound.
