Hiccups is described as hikka in ayurveda. Diaphragmatic activities become too much stimulated. Mayurpichh bhasm or mayurchandrika bham was a medicine of choice in the past but due to new policies of the government its restricted for use for fear of misuse. Husk of coconut is equally effective in controlling hikka. It should be burnt and ash collected, ground finely. 14 gm approx may be taken with coconut water/ plain water / honey or cold milk 8 to 6 hrly or more frequently. It alleviates diaphragmatic movements.
