How to Stop Sneezing Fits?
Sneezing is the body’s natural mechanism. However, in many cultures sneezing tends to be a social gaffe. It is not harmful for your health, but sometimes it is really annoying.
First, you should understand why you sneeze. Obviously, it is not just a useless quirk of your body. In most cases it is the body’s way to eliminate staff from your nose that causes irritation. Besides, sneezing is associated with a cold. In some cases it can be psychosomatic reactions to disquieting thoughts or emotions. You should use a tissue to prevent the spread of disease.
You may try one of the popular techniques to stop a sneeze.
• Pinch the tip of your nose and hold your breath.
• Blow your nose if you feel a sneeze coming on;
• Use your forefinger and thumb. Pinch your upper lip and press it upward. Your forefinger should be placed towards one nostril and your thumb towards the other. Bunch up your upper lip slightly.
• Blow your nose frequently to avoid long sneezing jags.
• Press the top of the upper lip with a finger.
• Imagine that something is touching the spot between your eyebrows.
• Look at the largest and the darkest surface you can find (e. g. a computer screen, someone’s black clothing, etc.) Imagine yourself slowly moving into the darkness. You should focus deeply on imagining this.
• When you feel a sneeze coming on, wiggle your ear lobe gently. It looks funny, but does effectively stop a sneeze.
• Squeeze firmly the bridge of your nose. Push slightly toward the corners of the eyes.
• If someone about to sneeze, say “Pineapple”. The timing and absurdity of the world makes the brain to “forget” about sneezing.
• When sneezing your eyes instinctively close. Hold your eyelids open to prevent a sneeze.
• Clench your teeth together. Use the muscle to stick out your tongue.
• Think really hard about sneezing.
• Take a big deep breath in.

These techniques do not stop uncontrollable, sudden sneezes. It only works on those sneezes which you feel coming. Many of them work because they make you focus on various physical sensations other than your sneeze. If sneezing has become really bothersome, do not hesitate to call your doctor.
