[00015] As mentioned, there remains a need for a method of providing a Bio-Electronics based portable steam inhalation device to cure respiratory tract infection. Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1A through 2, where similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the figures, there are shown preferred embodiments.
[00016] FIG. 1A illustrates a block diagram of a Bio-Electronics based portable steam inhalation device 100 to cure respiratory tract infection, according to some embodiments herein. The device 100 includes an E-juice inlet 102, a rechargeable battery 104, a microcontroller unit 106, a power booster module 108, a humidifier 110, a temperature controller 112, a start 114 and a stop 116 button, a steam outlet 118, and a patient 120. The temperature controller 112 provides controlled temperatures during steam generation.
[00017] Refereeing to FIG. 1B, the device 100 includes an E-juice cartridge 124. The E-juice cartridge is configured with the E-juice inlet 102. The E-juice cartridge 124 includes juice of one or more flavors. The rechargeable battery 104 is configured with the microcontroller unit 106. The rechargeable battery 104 supplies power to the portable steam inhalation device. The power booster module is configured to amplify voltage to 5 Volts. The voltage is supplied to an ultrasonic USB evaporative humidifier 110. The humidifier 110 is configured to receive the juice of one or more flavors from the E-juice inlet. The humidifier converts the juices of one or more flavor such as (ginger, lemon and clove) as steam using controller temperature from the temperature controller 112, The steam inhaled by a patient through steam outlet 118. Characterised in that the portable steam inhalation device provides a controlled temperature to the humidifier in order to convert the one or more flavors of juice into the steam.
