My grandmother once forbid myself and my brother from taking our medications at the same time.

Reason: it will work on one person only.

I guess their mothers did

From generation to...

When I was a young prophet, an old prophet once told me that I don't need to pray, that whenever he's praying I should just say amen and the prayer would cover me. I nearly died during that period.

This I have seen.

They do it because it works...

It's a natural remedy for hiccup passed down on your mothers from different generations before Oyibo came with their medicine.

It doesn't have to come from overseas and a whiteman before you believe it works.

Same way you can cure cold and flu by placing onion under your foot.


It's like asking a lion why it's chewing a leaf when it feels it has stomach ache or pains.


With your pig brain when you travel abroad and your child develops uncontrollable Hiccups and you take them to the hospital and a whiteman place same stuff on your child's head and it helps stop the problem.

The Oracle!

The white thread serves as a form of distraction for the child’s brain.
As silly as it may sound, the distraction helps to reduce hiccups.

Children as you know are naturally curious. And placing the white thread on either their forehead or hair triggers some sensation that the child may want to know and find ways to adapt.

So the brain direct its activity or concentration towards finding out the new thing on the head. And that tricks the phrenic and vagus nerves to act towards that.
That combination of concentration and distraction cause by the white thread as noted help reset the brain to stop or reduce the number of hiccups.

If my grandmother sneezes she would say someone is calling her name somewhere …

Ordinarily, we can say it doesn't work - since there might be very little or no scientific backup.

But who knows??

May be it was used to trigger baby's feelings which would then respond to subdue the hiccups??

Truth is it seems to work when done. Every parent who has done so will testify to it.
