Description

  The present invention relates to a nasal disposable body warmer that can adhere to a mask.

  If you have a cold or rhinitis, you are treated with a cold medicine, mask, nasal spray, gargle, etc., but for recent pollinosis, the effects of cold medicine are temporary, and if you use it frequently, gastrointestinal disorders may occur. There are side effects. The use of a mask alone can prevent hay fever, but it does not reduce the symptoms if nasal cold develops due to hay fever. Nasal sprays also irritate the nasal mucosa, thereby damaging the nasal mucosa. Especially in the case of hay fever, the nose is blown by a runny nose and stuffy nose, which further damages the nasal mucosa and the symptoms worsen.

Problems to be solved by the invention

  The nasal disposable body warmer that can be attached to and detached from the mask of the present invention heats the nose and the periphery of the nose from the outer skin, thereby promoting blood flow in the nasal cavity and repairing the nasal mucosa. Since it is intended to eliminate this problem and adheres to the mask, the original effect of protecting the mask against external cold air, pollen, dust and the like can be obtained.

Means for solving the problem

  In order to heat the nose and the periphery of the nose from the outer skin, as shown in FIG. 2, an exothermic substance mainly composed of iron powder, activated carbon, salts, water and the like has a shape that covers the nose and the periphery of the nose. As shown in Fig. 3, the bag is filled with a sachet and has a concave / convex pattern on the inner side that touches the nose of the bag, and an adhesive is applied to the outer side that adheres to the mask. Disposable body warmer.

The invention's effect

Since it only heats the nose and the periphery of the nose, there are no side effects and no irritation to the nasal mucosa. However, heating the nasal bridge and cheeks has little effect when heating, and it is necessary to heat from the side of the nose to the cheeks. Therefore, when the heating element has a planar shape, a space is formed in a portion where the heating is most desired, and the effect of the heating is reduced. Since the heating element of the present invention is provided with projections and depressions so as to match the shape of the nose as shown in FIG. Furthermore, since the portion corresponding to the nose is concave, it is easy to bend along the face, and the mask is easy to wear. Moreover, since the nostril which breathes air is not covered with a heat generating body, normal air can be breathed through a mask.
In general, exothermic substances mainly composed of iron powder have a reduced effect 4 to 5 hours after opening. The disposable nasal warmer of the present invention can be used by adhering to a mask, and when the heating effect is lost, it can be removed and replaced with a new one, or can be used as an ordinary mask.
Conventionally, there is no treatment method for heating the nose and the periphery of the nose for rhinorrhea and rhinitis, and in particular, hay fever is said to be caused by pollen allergy. However, the nasal mucosa is repaired to improve blood flow in the nose and nasal cavity by heating. As an inventor's experience, wearing a disposable nasal warmer at bedtime eliminated the runny nose and stuffy nose in 2-3 hours.

  In order to efficiently heat the nose and the periphery of the nose, the nose and the periphery of the nose must be in good contact with the disposable nasal body warmer. The part corresponding to the nose is concave and convex from the side of the nose to the cheek. The effect of heating is enhanced. Further, if a nonwoven fabric or the like is used as a mask material, the flexibility is increased and the contact property is improved, and the inner surface of the mask is humidified by the moisture of the breath itself, and further generation of water vapor is not necessary. In order to prevent skin burns caused by the heating element, the material of the bag of the heating element can be made of non-woven fabric and the thickness thereof can be adjusted.
