Apparatus, methods, and kits for treating symptoms associated with common ailments, such as headaches, rhinitis, asthma, epilepsy, nervous disorders and the like, are provided. The apparatus comprises dispensers for carbon dioxide other therapeutic gases. The methods comprise delivering small volumes of these gases to patients in a manner where the gas infuses into a body region in order to bathe the mucous membranes therein. It has been found that even very short exposure of patients to small volumes and high concentrations of such gases can provide significant relief from symptoms.

A therapeutic device for treating one or more conditions associated with a user's nasal cavities, sinuses, and/or ear canals includes a housing having an opening, an acoustic vibrator within the housing that is operable to provide an acoustic vibration to the user, a fan within the housing that is operable to provide a pressure to the user and a power supply that provides power to the acoustic vibrator and the fan. A mask is connected to the housing at the opening and includes a nasal interface appliable around the nose of the user, a nasal chamber in which the user's nostrils are located and an aperture through which the fan delivers the pressure.

The invention relates to a treatment apparatus comprising an envelope that can be placed on or around a body part of a person such that the envelope has a positioning area (Z) for said body part of the person, the envelope being provided with an inlet (8) for a gaseous medium and an outlet for discharging the gaseous medium present in the envelope. According to the invention, the apparatus comprises a control system (11) for controlling the flow of the gaseous medium in order to direct the gaseous medium entering the envelope via the inlet (8) outside the positioning area (Z), and to homogenise the gaseous medium present in the envelope.

A sealing device for a foot therapeutic apparatus includes an airtight sleeve and a sealing member. The airtight sleeve includes a treatment box connecting end and a limb inlet end. The sealing member is fixedly mounted at the limb inlet end. The sealing member includes a tightening band and an annular gas bag located on the outer periphery of the tightening band. The annular gas bag is connected to a gas source. A foot therapeutic apparatus with the sealing device includes a treatment chamber and an electrical chamber. The treatment chamber comprises a treatment box, and the sealing device is arranged on the treatment box. A box opening is arranged at a top of the treatment box, and the treatment box connecting end of the airtight sleeve of the sealing device is hermetically connected to the box opening.

Devices and methods can be used to apply an adhesion promoter, for example, ozone, over the surface of the biological tissues, before and/or concurrently with the application of the cosmetics to improve the durability and/or appearance of the cosmetics on the biological tissues. The devices can include a recirculation system and/or a filter system to reduce the likelihood of the chemical being released into the atmosphere and/or to increase oxidation of the chemical generated by the device after use of the device.

An ozone generator for a hot tub, the ozone generator comprising an elongate body comprising an inlet and an outlet to define a flow path therealong and first and second electrodes spaced apart to define a gap therebetween, said gap being provided along the flow path. The ozone generator is configured to apply an electrical charge to the first and second electrodes, in use, to generate an electric arc discharge across the gap. The ozone generator further comprises a shielding arrangement configured to isolate the first and second electrodes from the electric arc discharge generated during use. By isolating the electrodes from the electric arc discharge, they are shielded from surface oxidation and subsequent corrosion caused by the electric arc discharge, thereby improving service life.

The embodied invention is a hyperbaric chamber that is designed to fit through a narrower dimension, such as a doorway, window, garage, or hallway by utilizing a multi-section design. The preferred embodiment is a split chamber design that allows two or three sections to be moved by caster wheels, either on the legs with casters or on a moving cart. The width of the separate sections is designed to fit through a 34″ doorway, and then are readily bolted together to a desirable length. Additionally, the flanges design that connect the individual vessel parts together are designed to provide the pressure needed at a very low weight.
