Claim 0:
1. A nasal assembly comprising:
a first support member having a first surface configured to substantially conform to a sinistral contour of a nose when the nasal assembly is being worn;
a second support member having a second surface configured to follow a dextral contour of the nose when the nasal assembly is being worn; and
a heat source electrically coupled to the first support member and the second support member, the heat source being configured to adjust a surface temperature of the first surface and the second surface to cause warming of the sinistral contour of the nose and the dextral contour of the nose to a predefined temperature range,
wherein the first support member and the second support member are coupled to a compression bridge member configured to compress an upper portion of the nose to at least partially restrict a portion of airflow through passageways within the nose when the nasal assembly is being worn,
wherein the warming and the compression cause a reduction in replication of viral cells in the nose.
