स्वर्जिक्षारं बीजपूराद्रसेन क्षौद्रोपेतं हन्ति लीढ्वाऽऽशु हिक्काम् | सर्पिःस्निग्धा घ्नन्ति हिक्कां यवाग्वः कोष्णग्रासाः पायसो वा सुखोष्णः ||२१||

sanskrit

The verse describes various treatments for hiccough. Sarjika-kshara, when mixed with the juice of Vijapura and honey, is beneficial in curing hiccoughs when licked. Clarified butter (ghee) and oily substances are also effective in relieving hiccoughs, especially those caused by dryness or irritation. Additionally, Yavagu (a type of gruel), lukewarm food, and warm milk can provide relief from hiccoughs. These treatments help soothe the digestive system and alleviate the symptoms of hiccough.
