Allergic Rhinitis (common cold and allergy-related nasal disorder) has emerged as one of the rapidly increasing health concerns worldwide. Rising pollution, changing lifestyles, and immune imbalance are considered major contributing factors behind its growing prevalence and recurrent nature. Although modern medicines help in controlling symptoms, their limitations in providing long-term and permanent relief have been widely observed.
Padma Shri Awardee Vaidya Balendu Prakash developed and scientifically evaluated the Ayurvedic formulation “IMMBO”, which demonstrated rapid, safe, and long-lasting results in controlled clinical studies. In a study conducted on 100 patients, nearly 90% experienced noticeable relief within five minutes of administration. At present, around 1500 physicians across India are using IMMBO in their regular clinical practice.
In this regard, a one-day State-Level Symposium will be organized on Saturday, May 16, 2026, at “Padaav – Specialty Ayurvedic Treatment Center,” located in Ratanpura, Gadarpur Tehsil. On this occasion, 18 Ayurvedic physicians from Uttar Pradesh will be honoured as “IMMBO Brand Ambassadors.”
