A combination of proven home remedies has further been developed to provide prophylaxis and relief from cramping symptoms (as long as they are not caused by organically induced inflammation), thus quickly eliminating hiccups.
The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a remedy for alleviating hiccups with prophylaxis of general cramping symptoms and rapid shortening of cramping duration, which has no pharmacological side effects, and is not subject to approval and prescription.
Hiccups are generally regarded as a nuisance, and – since they usually occur only temporarily – do not normally require clinical treatment. However, it is highly debilitating and, if prolonged, is considered a recognized health impairment and, if prolonged, is considered a disorder with ICD codes: R06.6 and is recognized as a medical diagnosis in this classification system by the World Health Assembly.
„Tie your ears with a rope and put a pencil in your mouth.“ was one of many topical pieces of advice against hiccups according to a news item in Time magazine in August 1952.
In contrast, the pathophysiological mechanisms of hiccups are not fully understood scientifically. In the development of the unborn child, hiccups are considered to be an aborted attempt to breathe, in which the glottis closes in time before the amniotic fluid of the uterus can enter the lungs. In this way, the breathing muscles are trained to supply the body with sufficient air immediately after birth.
Hiccups occur due to irritation of the phrenic nerve, which activates the diaphragm muscles, causing a sudden, reflex contraction of the diaphragm. However, the airflow of the respiratory air is blocked by the sudden closure of the glottis. This causes the so-called hiccup with the familiar hiccupping sound.
The classic hiccup is defined as a forceful, reflexive, periodic inhalation movement and contraction of the diaphragm, with each aspiration interrupted by sudden vocal fold closure.
This produces a characteristic inhalation sound, colloquially verbalized as „hic(s).“ Currently, Canadibiols, preferably those high in THC, are considered most effective against hiccups. However, these substances are not allowed in many countries because of their addictive potential.
An old home remedy for sleep hiccups is a teaspoon of sugar. In fact, this was considered highly effective until the World Wars, but in reality it is not (anymore), as various studies show The cause can be assumed to be that the sugar used in the past was not refined from the sugar beets commonly used today, but from cane sugar, which had a large number of ingredients before it was later refined with lime additives to make white sugar. Whilst it has not yet been possible to analyze the ingredients of sugar cane that are effective for this purpose, because their compositions are quite diverse and change according to variety, location, weather, harvest time and soil conditions. The inventive step is therefore based on to combine the effect of the ingredients of different sugar cane varieties and to combine them with other active ingredients known as home remedies to form an efficient combination of active ingredients.
As a second active ingredient, after numerous and lengthy trials (because Schuckauf occurs only sporadically and cannot be calculated beforehand), a second former home remedy.
Since the ingredients quickly denature under the influence of air and light, it is advisable to present both active ingredients combined in small, strongly tinted glass bottles for single use.
However, there are also presentations as tincture of two components in solution or as powder dissolved in sachets or effervescent tablets. As a result, the combination developed in this way has a surprisingly strong, almost immediate effect. For sinusitis, against which the combination proved equally effective, it can be used as an inhalation solution, nasal rinse and as a tincture for warming. Moreover, this combination in dilution also makes a tasty and refreshing drink.
As a result, the combination developed in this way has proven to be equally effective!
