ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for treating rhinitis by illumination including at least one light emitting diode (LED) pack, each having a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), suitable for insertion into at least one, respective, rhinitis affected nostril and operative for illuminating a rhinitis affected zone of the interior surface of the at least one nostril with non-coherent light radiation, the light radiation having a narrow bandwidth centered at a wavelength suitable for rhinitis treatment. Preferably, the rhinitis affected zone is illuminated continuously for a prescribed treatment duration.
