HiccAway was created in an effort to get rid of hiccups. It is a safe alternative to therapies and other silly methods that some people use. HiccAway works by lowering the diaphragm while opening first, then closing the epiglottis. The epiglottis is the little flap in your throat that keeps food out of your windpipe. Doing this at the same time stimulates the “Phrenic” and “Vagus” nerves to stop the hiccups. It is explained that this process allows the brain to “reset” and stop the hiccups. The HiccAway is made from BPA-free plastics and is safe for all ages, including young children, to use.
