Female sex hormone; synthesized by the body from testoterone. Promotes the development of female sex characteristics; regulates the menstrual cycle; causes periodical mood swings. Formerly known as: Hera - the goddess of women, marriage and childbirth: spouse of Zeus. Often described as ill-tempered, jealous and vengeful. Worried about acne? Excessive hairiness? PMS? Rather than going through hormonal treatment, why don't you try to win Hera's favour. |
