Hiccups - Chinese Medicine explanation and treatment
Even in a condition as seemingly simple as hiccups a Chinese Medicine practitioner will look for a variety of causes. Hiccups, according to Chinese Medicine, can be the result of heat, cold or food stagnation. Ginger, rhubarb and perilla stems are commonly used for hiccups in Chinese Medicine..
Acupuncture can help in persistent cases, and during a short attack, a few minutes of acupressure applied to points at the top of the eye socket can often bring them to a halt.
