Abstract

PURPOSE:To utilize an inhalator for treatment of nasitis, sore throat, etc. and removal of a bad smell of a nose and a mouth or for their treatment by holding vegetal essential oil with a fine dust of mineral substance as the holder to be sealed in a flexible vessel mounting a nozzle. CONSTITUTION:Inhaling chemicals are selected from among a vegetal essential oil component of peppermint, eucalyptus, lemon, etc. In order to move the inhaling agent transferring to a flow of air inhaled into a nostril, a holder of the inhaling agent selects an inorganic mineral substance mainly clay minerals (silicon-earth, kaolin, zeolite, etc.). These substances are used singly or mixing, while selecting grain size of 60-325 mesh. A flexible thin thickness vessel of resin as polyethylene houses a holder dust, mounting a nozzle having a suitable shape for insertion into the nostril. By providing a filter in a nozzle base part or in a vessel outlet, only air, moving the chemicals transferring, is fed to the nostril.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The present invention is applicable to refreshing, awakening, hypnosis, sedation or
This product relates to new inhalants and inhalers that inhale the vapor of a drug that is effective as a treatment for the nose and throat, or to deodorize and treat bad odors in the nose and oral cavity, with the aim of creating a comfortable living situation. shall be.

Conventional technology In the past, there have been suction devices that treat nasal diseases by placing an effective drug in an air stream and inhaling it. No oral or throat treatment measures or odor removal were found.

In the present invention, essential oils are selected from plant essential oils that match each purpose, and are easily used to increase the effect. I couldn't.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention uses plant essential oils for the purpose of refreshing, awakening, hypnosis, sedation, promoting, or treating rhinitis, sore throat, etc., and deodorizing or treating bad odors in the nose, mouth, etc. The present invention relates to a safe, simple, and economical suction method that utilizes and applies for effective medical effects and deodorizing effects.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention embodies the means of aroma therapy in a simple suction tool, which can be used in a way that is suitable for each of today's complex and diverse lifestyles.

This has recently become a therapy called aromatherapy, and French doctor Jean Ballen (aromatherapy)
The subtitle was ``Treatment using plant essential oils.''
It is said that

This includes things that are taken internally and things that are taken externally.
The latter includes adhesives, lotions, ointments, and inhalants.

This inhaler involves adding a spoonful of plant essential oil to a pole filled with boiling water and inhaling the steam that comes out.

The inhalation method according to the present invention is highly portable and extremely easy to use. This is a method of carrying the drug described below, that is, plant essential oil, using a fine mineral powder as a carrier, and carrying it in a flexible container, such as a polyethylene container, equipped with a nozzle for hitting or inserting it into the nostril. When the container is deformed by pressing it from the outside with a finger or the like, the air passes through the nozzle and is released to the outside. When the external force is released, the container returns to its original shape and the container is deformed by sucking in the air from outside. At this time, the drug-carrying powder stored inside the body flows violently and when it comes into contact with air, the drug is transferred to the air, filtered by a filter, passed through a nozzle, and ejected into the nostrils, where it is breathed out. The powder that is sucked remains in the container and is again mixed with the drug-carrying powder by the introduction of fresh air, and when it comes into contact with the air, the drug moves into the air and is filtered by a filter. It passes through a nozzle and is inhaled through the nostrils, and can serve the purpose of invigoration, awakening, hypnosis, sedation, or therapeutic deodorization.

Novel means of inhalation In the present invention, each drug that brings about refreshing, awakening, hypnosis, sedation, treatment, deodorization, and effect, that is, the plant essential oils listed in claim 2 and other drugs, is inhaled. For accurate, simple, and economical means of transfer to air, high efficiency was achieved by selecting clay minerals and other carriers with fine particles and relatively light specific gravity and a high oil absorption rate.

This is the development of a method that can be easily configured and manufactured to be portable.

Therefore, it is a method that has a small volume and a large suction volume, that is, it can hold a large amount of medicine.

In addition, in order to diffuse and diffuse the components of plant essential oils according to the purpose in the treatment room, which is mainly used for aromatherapy treatments, air is continuously designed using a blower such as a sirocco fan through a check valve. A system is suggested in which a quantity is delivered into a container containing a drug-loaded powder. For this purpose as well, the second, third, and fourth aspects of the present invention are useful. In addition, the plant essential oils listed in Section 2 of the present invention are extremely effective as deodorizing effects for the treatment of rhinitis, especially for rhinitis, such as rhinitis with a unique odor, oral cavity and breath odor, etc. For this purpose, methods and means for curing and removing bad breath are described in Section 1.

Example 1 The purpose is to feel refreshed and cool.

Lemon oil 2 Wood Celite 2 Microcell EL Processing of this prescription is carried out at room temperature. 8g of Celite powder loaded with the drug is stored in a 30 ml thin-walled fine polyethylene container, and the nozzle base is inserted into the attached nostril. Attach a filter and attach it to the narrow part of the container.

As already described, when the container is pressed and deformed with a finger, the air inside the container stirs and flows the carrier powder, is filtered by the filter provided at the nozzle base, and is left in the container while being released into the nozzle. It is released from the tip to the outside of the container and is aspirated through the nostrils.

When you release your finger from the middle of the container, the container returns to its original shape. At this time, air naturally passes through the filter and is sucked into the container from the nozzle tip, but the fine powder carrying the drug is absorbed by the air flow. The fluid is stirred, and the drug is transferred to the air.
By pressing the middle of the container with your finger again, the stirring transition is repeated, and the air carrying the drug is ejected from the nozzle to the outside of the container and is sucked, achieving the purpose of cooling and refreshing.

Example 2 For the purpose of hypnosis.
