Hello Natalie, recurrent hiccups for over a year may indicate Vata imbalance or bloacked vata affecting the nervous system and diaphragm. Since all tests show no cause, it could be due to irritation of the vagus or phrenic nerve, acid reflux, or stress-related issues. Try warm ginger tea or sip lukewarm water frequently to relax the diaphragm. Haritaki churna (1/2 tsp with warm water at night) can help if digestion is involved. Nasya therapy (Anu tailam 2 drops in each nostril daily) may help calm nerve irritation. Light abdominal massage with warm castor oil before bed can also be beneficial. Has the patient noticed any triggers like specific foods, stress, or posture? Is there any burping, bloating, or acid reflux along with the hiccups? If symptoms persist, Panchakarma therapy like Virechana or Basti may be needed for deeper detox and nervous system balance.

Could you please share more details about your diet, lifestyle, and any possible triggers you may have noticed for the hiccups? Do you experience any other digestive or respiratory issues, such as bloating, acidity, or difficulty swallowing? Are there any emotional or psychological stressors in your life? Additionally, are there any significant changes in your daily routine or underlying conditions, like GERD or any chronic illness, that could be contributing to the hiccups? In Ayurveda, persistent hiccups are often seen as an imbalance in the Vata dosha, particularly in the region of the throat and digestive system. This condition can arise due to stress, anxiety, or digestive disturbances, leading to improper movement of the prana (vital energy) in the body. Herbal remedies like Ajwain (Carom seeds), Ginger, and Triphala might help balance the digestive fire and reduce the frequency of hiccups. Brahmi and Ashwagandha can also be considered for calming the mind and addressing any nervous system imbalance.
