The present disclosure relates to an inhalant, and more specifically to a compact vessel containing a terpene-based scent.
Terpenes are naturally occurring chemical compounds found in plants and some animals. They're responsible for the aromas, flavors, and even colors associated with various types of vegetation. In terms of cannabis, terpenes are what make certain strains smell or taste different from others. While cannabinoids provide a major element of the medicinal or psychoactive effect of Cannabis, the many terpenes in the Cannabis plant also contribute significantly to the plant's properties. Most terpenes have medical and therapeutic properties. They can be anti-microbial, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory. They can also have a profound effect on a person's mood and sense of well-being.
An inhalant according to one disclosed non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure includes an absorbent pad containing a terpene formulation, the absorbent pad within a vessel, A salt adjacent to the absorbent pad within the vessel.
The foregoing features and elements may be combined in various combinations without exclusivity, unless expressly indicated otherwise. These features and elements as well as the operation thereof will become more apparent in light of the following description and the accompanying drawings. It should be appreciated that however the following description and drawings are intended to be exemplary in nature and non-limiting.
Various features will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of the disclosed non-limiting embodiment. The drawings that accompany the detailed description can be briefly described as follows:
The absorbent pad 30 may be a felt pad that is including but not limiting to, in one example, ¾ inches in diameter and ⅜ inch thick including natural fiber, synthetic fiber and combined fibers. The absorbent pad 30 contains a terpene 40 of various formulas. The terpenes may be mood specific with a core terpene formula. The formula may be all natural, vegan, and cruelty free and may include, for example, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, sesterpenes, triterpenes, and including but not limited to full plant extracts.
Below the absorbent pad 30, the layer of salt 50 may be a mineral salt such as pink Himalayan salts which are anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and mucus thinning to open airways.
