There is provided an apparatus for facilitating the transmission of vapour particles directly into a nasal passage, including at least one structural member (22) and at least one absorbent member (34) at each end of the at least one structural member for containing a liquid able to be evaporated to form the vapour particles. Preferably, there are at least two studs (30) positioned at intermediate positions between the ends of the at least one structural member. A method for transmission of vapour particles/medication directly into a nasal passage using the apparatus is also provided.
