(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Sacramento, CA) May 7, 2012— Hicural is proud to announce the release of the first ever comprehensive tool to stop hiccups. Hiccups occur when a spasm contracts in the diaphragm. This spasm causes an intake of breath that is suddenly stopped by the closure of the vocal chords. It is this closure that creates the well-known “hiccup” sound. Being such a universal subject, everyone can relate to the annoyance of hiccups as well as suggest ways in which to get rid of them. Some suggest holding your breath or breathing into a paper bag; others suggest eating a teaspoon of sugar or honey, and then there is the classic attempt to scare the hiccups away. However, these various suggestions rarely seem to work time and time again. Hicural’s new hiccup relief tool, on the other hand, works every time!
Simply place Hicural’s flexible polypropylene tool in your mouth, bite down gently, and drink from a glass of water. Working in only a matter of seconds, this revolutionary tool is safe and effective for all ages. Hicural is also sold with a convenient storage case making it extremely portable and ideal for any time a case of the hiccups may strike. Hicural retails for only $7.99 and can be purchased at Hicural.com, CVS.com, Drugstore.com, and coming soon to a major drugstore near you!
Interesting Facts about Hiccups:

· Hiccups may occur 2 or 3 times a minute; or even 2 or 3 times a second.
· Men get hiccups more often than women.
· When you get hiccups, you usually hiccup at least 63 times before you stop (unless you get rid of them).
About Hicural:
Hicural has developed and now manufactures the first ever comprehensive tool to stop hiccups on the market today. The company, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Sacramento, California manufactures the product in a clean room in a state of the art manufacturing facility in the U.S. where it can ensure complete safety and quality control. Hicural is just beginning to get the product onto store shelves at independent drug stores in various parts of the country and expects to be in most of the larger chains as word of this revolutionary new tool continues to spread.
CEO and founder Chuck Ray suffered from bouts of hiccups and actually came up with the idea by chance and was able to stop his hiccups. Not completely, but he did notice a difference. It was enough for him to believe he was on to something that could have the potential to help others treat their hiccups. After several months, Chuck had a working model that stopped his hiccups every time. He started to pass on samples to family, friends and numerous people he met who suffered from bouts of hiccups or knew people who did. Soon, he was getting calls back from people who were amazed at the results of his new hiccup relief tool. In every single case it worked to stop hiccups. It worked with kids as young as 3 and adults in their 80’s and it even worked with several people with more serious chronic hiccups. The results led Chuck to patent the tool, form the company and begin manufacturing and selling it. Today, the hiccup relief tool is shipped from the company’s warehouse direct to consumers, retailers and distributors throughout the U.S.
