westrn knowledge maybe advanced but is it the only knowledge ?

Racoon:
Guess the doubts of many people have been cleared by the experts now. The useless myth that that putting thread, rope or cotton wool on the scalp of infants or child during hiccups is curative.

This is rather non-related scenario, but take that a human was all smiles and joyous, then all of a sudden hears a loud bang, every atom of joy-give that the person was having would stop and would be filled with rather only fear and flight. So, it's all about the distraction the wool causes for them, not like it is medicinal (biology/cell related) itself.

Natbrowny:
Nope. Knowledge is vast.

But if we apply common sense, applying wool to stop hiccups aint realistic.

“There's the old-wives' tale that if someone suddenly scares you, you'll snap out of the hiccups

This is also not realistic but it may work for some. That's how its history started anyways. Na one person start am, loud am, everybody followed suit..

I can post a video tomorrow to prove that it works and i do practice this daily on my baby.

Our mothers had been doing this since 1854. Ignorant people, passing same knowledge to the next generation and so on

It works. Science doesn't explain everything. Science had it's limitations

Adewale1603:
What about "suke suke" they'd ask you to drink, sip a glass of water seven times, and it would stop. That one sure works

Flame333:
It doesn't..

Hiccup in babies is as a result of excess milk over water in your baby system mostly after feeding.. When you have your child, you will understand

I grew up seeing it but when I gave birth to my baby, I understood it better

Silentgroper:
no it doesn't ...

If you've had hiccups as an Adult, you'd know it doesn't ..


The only known thing meant to stop hiccups is drinking enough water ..

Toh..
Pls check my signature and help if u can. But if u can't, no p


It generally passes away by itself too ..


The wool thing, na just misconception...

Natbrowny:
It doesn't actually. Its just superstitious stuff

ReubenE:
What exactly is the relationship between placing a strand of fabric on a baby's had and activity in the baby's throat?

Like the fabric is on the hair of the baby. Does it generate magnetic/electrical waves from the hairs to the skull down to the throat diaphragm to cure the hiccup?
Please explain how a random fabric on your baby's hair cure something in your baby's throat. I'm asking cause you've repeated it about 3 times.

Gggjhhj:
It works my bro, have you tried licking salt when pepper enters you eye, even after washing with water it doesn't go off, try licking salt it would be like magic, don't know the mechanism behind it, but it works

ReubenE:
Good. But now sit and think about it, your licking salt and eye theory even makes more sense even though you can't prove it cause by licking the salt, something is going inside your body system. Your whole body is connected with nerves/tissues so it is not entirely strange for you to lick something into your system through your mouth to cure something in your eyes. Same way you can ingest medicine to cure pain in your toes.

Now placing a random fabric on a baby's hair does not have any biological relationship with whatever is going inside the baby's system. That is the point.
Are you saying that the random fabric on the baby's hair would generate some kind of energy that will travel down from the hairs on the head down to the skull, then somehow find its way to the mouth to the diaphragm to cure the hiccup
