The device for powdering a solid unit dosage form of medication and administering the powder form includes an applicator, a powdering tool and, in certain embodiments, a cap. The device is used to create a powder form from a solid unit dosage form, and then administer the powder form to a body cavity of a patient. The cap is provided with an integrated powdering tool, allowing an open end of an applicator barrel to be releasably covered thereby. Manipulation of the powdering tool creates the powder form through abrasion of a solid unit dosage form of the medication received within the barrel. The cap and powdering tool may then be removed, leaving the powder form of the solid unit dosage form to be administered to the body cavity, such as a patient's vagina or rectum.

A system and method of use for an operational halotherapy device and red light device in an enclosed space. The halotherapy and red light system generally comprise a machine disposed in the enclosed space that disperses salt particles into the air, and includes a red light device that emits red light waves. The combination of both devices produces a refractory phenomenon when the red light waves make contact with the salt particles dispersed in the air to cause a plethora of multi-dimensional dispersions of light waves. Moreover, every time a salt particle makes contact with a red light wave, a portion of the wave light is absorbed by the particle and its temperature increases, lessening the moisture in the particle. The lessening of moisture in the particle dries the particle further, which enhances the therapeutic properties of the inhalable salt particle.

A portable halotherapy device includes a housing, a grinding chamber with a grinding blade that breaks apart dry granular salt into salt particles small enough for halotherapy, an air duct routing air to the chamber, a fluid conduit, and a high-speed exhaust fan. Ambient air flows through the air ducts into the grinding chamber to produce a first air current. Air is diverted from the first air current upward, in a second air current, through the fluid conduit and the fan. The first air current helps move dry granular salt around and against the grinding chamber, breaking it into small salt particles. The second air current is arranged relative to the first air current such that small salt particles, but not larger pieces, are carried as salt aerosol upward through the fluid conduit and fan for distribution to the environment, thereby facilitating a halotherapy session.

Systems for dense phase transport of frozen and other particles to the respiratory system include a particle source, a delivery chamber for metering boluses of the particles from the source, and a transfer tube for fluidized transport of the particles to a patient interface. A controller may be provided to adjust the rate and amount of the bolus deliver to a patient to control core body temperature and for other purposes.

A dry-powder inhaler comprising a housing comprising at least one air inlet to a first air passage and a second air passage extending from the first air passage and terminating in a mouthpiece; the housing thereby providing a continuous air passage through the at least one air inlet, the first and second air passages, and the mouth piece; a rigid, fixed, powdered-medicament reservoir comprising a base, the reservoir being associated with the first air passage, and together with the first air passage forming a powder chamber; wherein air passing through the powder chamber travels substantially parallel to an upper surface of the reservoir and powdered-medicament positioned on the base in the reservoir, the upper surface of the reservoir having a surface area, and the reservoir having a volume.

A device is provided for the self-administration of cannabinoids. The device includes a container having an opening on a first end thereof, a cap which releasably engages said first end of said container, and an assembly, including first and second modules, which is removably placed inside of the container. The first module includes a first element equipped with first and second threading, a receptacle for said solid medium, said receptacle being equipped with at least one surface feature which slidingly engages said first threading, and a solid medium which is seated in said receptacle and which contains at least one cannabinoid. The second module is equipped with a filter and has a first threading disposed on a first terminal portion thereof. Various accessories may be releasably attached to the container or assembly. Methods of using the device are also described.

An apparatus (10) for micronizing an inorganic salt, having a receiving vessel (14) for receiving the salt (46) to be micronized in an interior of the receiving vessel (14); a grinding unit (22) for comminuting the salt (46) to be micronized located in the receiving vessel (14) and for forming micronized salt particles (54); an ascending pipe (24), which is connected fluidically to the receiving vessel (14) and serves to transport the micronized salt particles (54), wherein one end of the ascending pipe (24) has an outlet orifice (38) through which the micronized salt particles (54) can flow out of the apparatus (10); a fan (26) for generating an air stream (40); and a housing (12) with an air outlet (44) and an air duct (42) connecting the fan (26) to the air outlet (44), wherein the air duct (42) is separated by at least one wall from the interior of the receiving vessel (14), such that the air stream (40) generated by the fan (26) does not flow through the interior of the receiving vessel (14), and wherein the air outlet (44) at least partly surrounds the ascending pipe (24) in a region of the outlet orifice (38).

A method for qualitatively and/or quantitatively detecting one or more substances contained in the hemp plant using a kit having a) an ampoule; b) a material comprising a hemp plant or parts thereof; and c) a color indicator capable of reacting by contacting the hemp plant and/or at least a part thereof to change the color of the color indicator, wherein the material and the color indicator are disposed in the ampoule.
