The invention relates to an immunomodulatory substance(s) and/or a skin-conditioning agent for use in a method for treating and/or preventing an inflammatory disease, immunological disease and/or autoimmunological disease in a subject, wherein the method comprises a step (A) selected from one or more of: generating an accumulation of PBMCs within the skin, generating a vasodilation of the capillaries within the skin, generating an increased blood volume within the skin, generating an increased sO.sub.2 within the skin, generating an increased rHb within the skin, generating an increased temperature on the skin, generating a redness on the skin, administering conditioning energy to the skin, administering a skin-conditioning agent to the skin or administering PBMCs to the skin of the subject; and the method further comprises step (B) administering a first immunomodulatory substance(s) to the skin of the subject and/or step (C) administering a second immunomodulatory substance(s) to the skin of the subject.

A flexible device having a layered structure for delivering light or ultrasound to a skin surface. The device includes a flexible substrate that supports either a flexible light emitter layer or a flexible ultrasound emitter layer, as well as first and second flexible conductive layers. The device has a surface configured to face the skin surface, wherein (a) the light emitter layer emits pulsed light with an intensity that is substantially constant across the device's surface when driven by a power source connected to the conductive layers to thereby deliver a therapeutically effective dose of pulsed light to the skin surface or (b) the ultrasound emitter layer emits ultrasound with an intensity that is substantially constant across the device's surface when driven by a power source connected to the conductive layers to thereby deliver a therapeutically effective dose of ultrasound to the skin surface.

The invention relates to an immunomodulatory substance(s) and/or a skin-conditioning agent for use in a method for treating and/or preventing an inflammatory disease, immunological disease and/or autoimmunological disease in a subject, wherein the method comprises a step (A) selected from one or more of: generating an accumulation of PBMCs within the skin, generating a vasodilation of the capillaries within the skin, generating an increased blood volume within the skin, generating an increased sO.sub.2 within the skin, generating an increased rHb within the skin, generating an increased temperature on the skin, generating a redness on the skin, administering conditioning energy to the skin, administering a skin-conditioning agent to the skin or administering PBMCs to the skin of the subject; and the method further comprises step (B) administering a first immunomodulatory substance(s) to the skin of the subject and/or step (C) administering a second immunomodulatory substance(s) to the skin of the subject.

A heat and aromatherapy bag that provides consumers with a reliable way to deliver constant, slow, dissipating heat with an infusion of essential oils.

The repurposed sack is a repurposed antique feed sack to provide an aesthetic rustic appearance and the functional indicia indicate one of several different intangible assets that someone might be interested in cultivating or possessing. The heat and aromatherapy bag also includes a method for utilizing a heat and aromatherapy bag.

Methods and apparatus for inducing weight loss using blood flow control are described herein. The apparatus and methods operate by controlling blood flow to the stomach and/or small bowel.

A scraping plate is provided. The scraping plate includes a main body, a storage chamber for storing a liquid medicine and an electric heater for heating the liquid medicine. One end of the main body is provided with a scraping blade, and the other end opposite to the scraping blade is provided with a grip portion. Both the storage chamber and the electric heater are provided inside the main body. A surface of the scraping blade is provided with at least one liquid medicine outlet, wherein each liquid medicine outlet is communicated with the storage chamber.

The invention relates to heat products for single treatment and/or as self-therapy in the event of acute, recurrent and/or chronic states of pain, comprising heat-generating materials arranged in annular form.

An article for therapy and treatment of at least one eye. The article includes a backing for application to the at least one eye. The backing includes at least one receiver positioned to align with the at least one eye. The article also includes at least one pod that is detachably secured within the at least one receiver. The at least one pod includes material for delivering therapy and treatment to the at least one eye.

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for treating a number of eye conditions of a user including dry eye syndrome or burns to the eyes. The apparatus include a pair of protective close fitting glasses flexibly connected to form a goggle to securely cover a pair of eyes of the user, a frame structure including input means is provided around the pair of protective close fitting glasses, one or more diffuser in fluid communication with the frame structure to provide heat, moisture content and the medications to the eyes of the user, and one or more mode selector means configured on the diffuser, and/or provided as a controller for selecting a desired operational mode for providing a desired amount of heat, moisture and the medication to the eyes of the user to treat the number of eye conditions including dry eye syndrome or burns to the eyes.

A steam therapy equipment including a vessel for heating a mixture of water and organic materials, a compressor to inject pressurized air into the vessel producing pressurized steam. The pressurized steam is conducted into the equipment via one or more valves. The therapy equipment is formed from at least one panel and may include a supporting frame. The therapy equipment includes a temperature sensor to measure the temperature inside the therapy equipment when pressurized steam is admitted via the valves. A patient enters the equipment and is exposed to the pressurized steam, causing dilation of the skin pores of the patient, whereby toxins are removed from the patient. One or more applicators may conduct pressurized steam to specific portions of the body of the patient. The patient may be provided with a portion of the mixture to consume as part of the steam therapy treatment.
