#Nuska for hiccups!!
When hiccups start and are not stopping for a long time even after things like taking little water or sugar, then boil 2-3 moti elaichi (big black one) in some water for few minutes. Strain the water and drink. Hiccups will stop.
Remember while straining water try to extract juice of boiled elaichi by pressing as it is hard.
This water can also be given to kids who are older than 1 year for relief in loose motions or dysentery.
