Hormone Imbalance Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance in Women include: Irregular menstrual cycle PMS / Cramps Menopausal symptoms Headaches / Migraines

3 Breast tenderness Mood swings Fatigue Foggy thinking Anger / Irritability Loss of interest in sex Dry, ageing skin Unexplained weight gain Are they normal? Most women are victims of their own menstrual cycle. In a normal menstrual cycle, oestrogen dominates the first half of the menstrual cycle and prepares the ovaries for ovulation. Oestrogen levels peak at ovulation. A woman s typical menstrual cycle Progesterone is not produced by the ovaries until after ovulation to prepare for pregnancy. If no pregnancy occurs, a drop in progesterone and

4 oestrogen levels activates menses and the cycle begins again. Hormone imbalance is the result of the excessive production of oestrogen and/or progesterone levels becoming deficient. This phenomenon has become widespread in recent decades due to extreme changes in the lifestyle and environment of women in the modern world. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream is the gift for every woman yearning to break free from the physical and emotional torture they have to endure each time the hormonal imbalances occur. C. Functions of Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream Heal yourself naturally and holistically Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream helps to regulate hormone production, maintain optimal hormone levels and is a great massage complement for holistic healing. Ageless Herbal Cream is the ideal herbal alternative to synthetic solutions and hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) to address a woman s hormonal imbalance needs. Recent research has shown that HRT may expose women to increased risks of cancer, heart disease and stroke. Ageless Herbal Cream helps the body regulate its own hormone production

5 and restore its own balance naturally. It contains phytohormone ingredients such as Chasteberry, Fenugreek and Wild Yam, which are clinically proven to mimic the positive effects of your hormones on your body and skin. These phytohormones are delivered to your skin cells via a cutting-edge system called Transdermal Technology, maximising its effectiveness in restoring your skin to optimal youth levels, and improving your health and vitality. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream contains 100% natural botanical ingredients, with no animal substances or synthetic hormones used in the formulation so you can be assured that it is a safe, effective, natural remedy for your hormonal imbalance needs. Why is Ageless Herbal Cream more effective than off-the-shelf herbal remedies? Ageless Herbal Cream uses a unique transdermal phytohormone therapy the same delivery system used by modern medicinal creams, which transports nutrients faster than oral dosage. With Ageless Herbal Cream, the phytohormones are delivered directly into your bloodstream for better absorption; it puts the cream in the fat base of your skin, and every time the heart beats, the blood flows and you get a little dose of the phytohormones.

6 * Using creams, the [phyto-nutrients] are absorbed through the skin and into the blood without first passing through the liver. When given orally, they pass first through the liver and 90% of them are digested. Transdermal dosing is at least 10 times more efficient than oral dosing. - John R. Lee, M.D. author of "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause" D. Key Ingredients and their functions Chasteberry (Vitex) is a plant found in the Mediterranean region. It has the ability to affect the pituitary gland s regulatory and balancing influence on progesterone, oestrogen and prolactin production. It is used to help treat irregularities of the menstrual cycles, premenstrual symptoms and mastodynia (breast pain). It is also an effective remedy for menopausal disorders and PMS. Fenugreek acts as an emollient (a substance that softens and soothes the

7 skin). It also reduces blood sugar and is a potential raw material for the production of sex hormones. It is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat cold pain in the lower abdomen, impotence, and hernia (said to be due to cold qi ). Dioscorea (Wild Yam) root is used as a precursor for producing progesterone and oestrogen. It is used to help ease dysmenorrhea and cramps. Grapeseed Extract is a powerful antioxidant. The antioxidant property provides a strong rationale for using it in the therapeutic management of microvascular disorders. It may also support collagen stabilisation. Geranium Oil keeps the skin supple and opens the skin s pores to allow better absorption. It also helps in balancing the mind and emotions, which in turn, help relieve anxiety and stress, among other benefits.

Answer: Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream contains herbal raw materials such as Chasteberry, Fenugreek and Dioscorea (Wild Yam), which the body can metabolise into progesterone, testosterone and other important hormones in the body. The production of these hormones will help to balance our endocrine system, regulate the functions of our organs, and slow down our body s ageing process.

9 2. Does Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream belong to the category of Medicine? Answer: Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream contains Chasteberry, Fenugreek, Dioscorea (Wild Yam), Grapeseed Extract, Geranium Oil, and Aloe Vera. These are all foods that can be eaten. They are also first-class traditional medicinal material that may be taken both orally and topically. With advanced science and technology, these ingredients are made into a cream to be applied, making it more convenient for customers to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of the herbal ingredients. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream is an herbal supplement and not a medicine. 3. Does Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream take effect immediately once it is applied on the skin? Answer: Yes! This is because Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream uses transdermal technology. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream is formulated with Geranium Oil to soften the skin texture and open pores, while the Liposome technology helps to deliver the active ingredients into the skin and the capillaries where it is transported by the bloodstream to the rest of the body.

10 4. Will men become more feminine in their behaviour after using Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream? Answer: No. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream is a first-class supplement that can be used by both men and women. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream contains herbal raw materials that may be converted to progesterone inside a woman s body, while it may be changed to a corresponding male hormone in a man s body. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream can nourish the adrenal glands, reproductive glands and endocrine glands. After men apply Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream, they will become more masculine, not more feminine. 5. Aren t hormones supposed to be used according to doctor s instructions? How can we buy it without doctor s advice? Answer: Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream contains herbal ingredients for hormone production. We apply Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream on our skin and allow it to enter our body and let our body process it into a natural hormone to improve physiological functions. Just like how we consume raw seafood to boost our body s physiological functions, applying Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream helps supplement the production of hormones. We do not directly consume the hormones, so a doctor s prescription is unnecessary.

11 6. Hormones should not be used casually as it will cause cancer. Is that true? Answer: There are many types of hormones, but female hormones have the highest carcinogenic risk. As oestrogen can stimulate cell hyperplasia (increase in the number of cells), we must use hormones very carefully. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream contains ingredients that produce progesterone. The function of progesterone is to stabilise cells, balancing out the effects of oestrogen. It can also reduce oestrogen s carcinogenic risk. Progesterone is a balancing hormone so it will not cause cancer. 7. Which are more effective animal or human hormones? Answer: Animal hormones are extracted from an animal s placenta. There is a possibility of viral infection when the hormones are extracted from an animal. We must always consider the risk of the use of animal hormones before considering its curative effects. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream is made of 100% botanical ingredients. Thus, it is perfectly safe and effective. 8. I can go to the hospital to receive Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Will it have the same effect as Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream?

12 Answer: At present, hospitals use man-made (synthetic) hormones, and the chemical constitution of man-made hormones is different from that of the natural hormones used in our cream. That is why its effect cannot possibly be identical to the natural hormones. Apart from that, synthetic hormones may also have many side effects. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream provides the natural hormone precursors and nourishes the endocrine system, allowing the body to produce the hormones that it needs, naturally. 9. Will applying Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream boost our sexual desire? Answer: Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream does not work like Viagra, although sexual desire does correspond closely with one s mental and physiological state. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream helps in the rehabilitation of the health of the whole body, maintenance of youthful vigour, and normalisation of all physiological functions including sexual functions. 10. How can the use of Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream help to alleviate my vaginal discharge? Answer: Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream raises the hormonal levels in the body, and makes the vaginal membrane healthier. Thus, there will be more

13 antibacterial cells that can reduce the growth of bacterial strain in the vagina, so the vaginal discharge will decrease naturally. 11. Do we have to use Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream for life? Answer: Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream is a natural phytohormone therapy. What kind of people need to undergo hormone therapy? People whose bodies experience hormonal imbalance. A body that lacks hormones will age faster. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream is used to slow down the effects of ageing. Ageing is a never-ending process. As the speed of ageing becomes more and more rapid, the body s physiological functions also worsen. Hence, we must use Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream to slow down ageing, and use it continuously to maintain our optimal health levels. If we stop using it after a period of time, the body will continue ageing gradually. So we must make it a lifestyle habit to continually use Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream to keep our hormones balanced. 12. After using Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream, will my body lose its ability to produce and balance hormones? Answer: Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream does not replace our body s functions. Instead, it nourishes the body, allowing it to rejuvenate its health,

14 and provides the raw materials for the endocrine system, which will in turn regenerate the required hormones. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream makes our organs healthier, so there s no problem of dependency. 13. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream sounds like an elixir. Answer: Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream is not an elixir. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream provides raw materials for the body to produce both male and female hormones. The endocrine system works like a government. When the government is healthy, the physiological function of the whole body is strong. When the government is weak, the body is weak. Therefore, our hormones strongly influence our body functions, which are essential for the good health of our organs. 14. Where should we apply the Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream on? Answer: We can apply it on our whole body as it can be absorbed by our largest organ the skin. The areas where the skin is the thinnest such as the inside of the upper arm, breast, underbelly, thigh, lower back and aching parts of the body are where absorption rates would be better and faster. We should also take note of the time the body needs to absorb Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream.

15 15. What do we do if we cannot fall asleep after applying Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream? Answer: Adjusting the body s hormone levels can improve the quality of sleep. It is recommended that you use Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream from 7pm to 8pm. The creams helps to adjust our hormone levels, causing the nerve functions to be healthier and improving our state of mind. A person who uses Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream regularly will feel more energetic and mentally alert, which explains why some people are more alert and have difficulty sleeping after applying Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream. 16. After using Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream, why will our menstrual cycle be delayed or arrive earlier than usual? Answer: The natural hormone balancing process coordinates with the body s physical condition to balance its hormone levels. When one starts using Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream, the menstrual cycle may change slightly, but it will normalise gradually. 17. Regarding osteoporosis, will we still need to apply Meditrina Ageless

16 Herbal Cream if we eat calcium supplements with Vitamin D to help calcium absorption? Answer: The prevention of osteoporosis does not lie with how much calcium you eat, but with how much is absorbed and transformed by your body for bone-making. Supplement progesterone production with Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream as it can help bone growth and increase bone density, which helps to reduce osteoporosis. 18. Can we use Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream while taking hypertension medicine? Answer: Patients with high blood pressure mostly have excessively high fat content in their blood. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream can supplement the quantity of progesterone in our bodies. The progesterone itself has a natural diuresis function and helps to reduce the blood pressure. The progesterone can adjust the blood s fat content and increase the blood vessel elasticity. Thus, the cream can be used to maintain the patient s blood pressure. 19. What s the difference between synthetic hormones and the ingredients used in the cream: Chasteberry, Fenugreek and Wild Yam?

17 Answer: American doctor and author Dr John Lee explained that taking man-made progesterone will cause side effects as it is not the natural progesterone which the body recognises. Synthetic hormones are simplified and revised, altering the progesterone s structure, which no longer suits the human body s complex biochemistry. In the case of Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream, Chasteberry, Fenugreek and Wild Yam act as progesterone s precursor after being absorbed by the human body, and transform into natural progesterone and other hormones based on the individual s physiological needs without causing side effects. 20. Can a person who suffers from endometriosis use Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream? Answer: Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (the endometrial stroma and glands that should only be located inside the uterus) is found elsewhere in the body. Most researchers agree that endometriosis is exacerbated by oestrogen. Subsequently, most of the current treatments for endometriosis attempt to temper oestrogen production in a woman's body in order to relieve her symptoms. Progesterone is a very good hormone to help balance the effects of oestrogen. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream contains progesterone precursors, which can help to relieve symptoms of endometriosis.

18 21. Before my menstruation, I will always feel hungry, and I particularly crave sweet snacks. What should I do? Answer: When the adrenal gland and other endocrine glands are stressed, the pancreas will be affected as well. It will produce insulin and other hormones to lessen the load on the adrenal gland, which will in turn cause hunger pangs. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream will help to reduce this kind of hunger. Continual usage of Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream will reduce the occurrence of sugar cravings. 22. If my menstruation is extremely heavy, or I have increased haemorrhaging, how should I deal with it? Answer: There may be several reasons to this but if the situation is serious, one should consult a doctor. The doctor will suggest using natural progesterone therapy to clear out the irregular flow, and control the massive haemorrhaging. If the doctor agrees to using natural progesterone, Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream can be used to help produce natural progesterone. You may also need to consider a new diet plan. Although the importance of a balanced diet is widely known, it is often still neglected. Fresh air, exercise, and sufficient sleep and rest are all very essential to the body, in maintaining our hormone levels.

19 23. Is Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream useful for those who have undergone hysterectomy? Answer: Many women who undergo hysterectomy before menopause may experience hot flushes and other menopausal symptoms. Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream can help to reduce such symptoms. Thus, it is advisable to apply the cream in large amounts during the day and night to reduce the symptoms. Most women see an improvement after 3 to 8 weeks, and some no longer experience the menopausal symptoms. Continuous usage of Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream will help to prevent pigmentation, too. 24. Will applying Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream help in weight loss? Answer: If your weight gain is caused by hormonal imbalance or lowered metabolism, Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream may help to balance the endocrine system and increase your metabolic rate, which will help the body to remove excess water and stimulate weight loss. Weight reduction will be more effective if the use of Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream is combined with a fat-burning diet that helps to burn excess fat.

20 25. Will applying Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream aid in arthritis? Answer: Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream is an herbal supplement, not a medicine so it cannot cure your illness. Arthritis is related to lowered metabolism so theoretically, it has nothing to do with hormones. However, Meditrina Ageless Herbal Cream may help balance endocrine secretion that, in turn, promotes metabolism. This will reduce the occurrence of arthritis.
