Hiccups are involuntary severe spasmodic inspiration of diaphragm and inter-coastal muscles. However; from the point view of traditional medicine in Iran, it is defined as the upward movement of stomach material and consists of counteraction and expansion movements. It is a movement which exiles the wind from the stomach. Hiccups, if held continuously and be chronically, can lead to loss of job and the person suffering from it may face mental problems as well as depression in society. There are very few studies regarding hiccup etiology recorded in medicine; however, to cure the usual and short-lasting hiccups, some ways as metoclopromide, chlopromasins, Baclofen Gabapantin can be used. The cure usually lasts long and is not usually effective and is accompanied with chemical drug side effects. There are very comprehensive and various discussions regarding kinds, diagnosis, and treatment of hiccups in traditional medicine. However, the discussions have not been studied extensively. In the present study, Avicenna%26apos;s view and some other ancient scientists%26apos; views are under focus and it concentrates on hiccups derived from the interaction of huge liver inflammation and its treatments. The kinds of hiccups were also discussed. [M minae, Q Mohammadi, M somi, M Mosadegh, M Kamalinejad, A Nikbakht Nasirabadi. Hiccups due to hepatitis on the base of Iranian Traditional medicine.
