   Insufflation
   `Insufflation` (Latin `insufflatio` `blowing on `or` into`) is the practice of inhaling substances into a body cavity. Insufflation has limited medical use, but is a common route of administration with many recreational drugs and is also used for some entheogens. Nasal insufflation is commonly used for many psychoactive drugs because it causes a much faster onset than orally and bioavailability is usually, but not always, higher than orally.
