Hiccups are so frustrating! Try pairing persimmon calyx with ginger slices!

Hiccups are so frustrating, but persimmon calyxes paired with ginger slices can help! A kind-hearted netizen (ぐ流ぐ ☆ QQ1096062778): Hello, I’d like to share a remedy with you for treating continuous hiccups caused by cold and emotional distress. My relative used to suffer from non-stop hiccups that could last for days. I advised them to boil a few persimmon calyxes (the stem part of the persimmon) with ginger slices and a small amount of water until it reduced to half a bowl. Then, they added brown sugar and drank the warm liquid. After that, they covered themselves with a blanket to induce sweating. Usually, just one dose was enough to stop the hiccups. In the early years of my relative’s marriage, due to family conflicts, they experienced these continuous hiccups, which were very distressing. They would hiccup while sleeping, during the day, and it could go on for days. I happened to hear about this remedy from someone else, and since my family had a persimmon tree, I tried it on them. Over the past few years, the hiccups haven’t recurred. I’ve since recommended this remedy to friends, and it has worked every time. Shared by: Teacher Wu
