         10 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the secondary enclosure is filled with a mixture comprising  Crocus sativus  extract. 
     
     
         11 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the medicinal composition is a compound comprising  Crocus sativus.    
     
     
         12 . The container of  claim 11  wherein the compound further comprises an oil, a wax, a petroleum jelly, a polymeric material, a glycerin, a flavoring, a vitamin, a hardener, an alcohol, a spice, an herb, a tincture or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         13 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the medical composition further comprises an herb, a petroleum jelly, a spice, a vitamin, a flavoring, an alcohol, a polymeric material, a glycerin, a tincture or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         14 . An inhaler suitable for delivering a medicinal composition, the inhaler comprising:
 a) a housing comprising an elongated tubular form having a primary enclosure proximal end extending to a primary enclosure distal end and an interior space therewithin, wherein an annular opening extends through the primary enclosure distal end;   b) a secondary enclosure composed of an absorbent material positioned within the housing interior; and   c) a medicinal composition comprising  Crocus sativus  positioned within the secondary enclosure.   
     
     
         15 . The inhaler of  claim 14  wherein the secondary enclosure comprises a pouch, bag or pillow that encloses the medical composition therewithin. 
     
     
         16 . The inhaler of  claim 14  wherein a wick is positioned within the secondary enclosure and wherein at least a portion of the wick resides within the medical composition. 
     
     
         17 . The inhaler of  claim 14  wherein the secondary enclosure is filled with a mixture comprising  Crocus sativus.    
     
     
         18 . The inhaler of  claim 14  wherein the medicinal composition comprises a compound comprising  Crocus sativus.    
     
     
         19 . The container of  claim 18  wherein the compound further comprises an oil, a wax, a petroleum jelly, a polymeric material, a glycerin, a flavoring, a vitamin, a hardener, an alcohol, a spice, an herb, a tincture or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         20 . An inhaler suitable for delivering a medicinal composition, the inhaler comprising:
