根据临床研究中显示,当锂使用于外用的局部治疗时,能有效治疗脂漏性皮肤炎(seborrheic dermatitis)[90][91][92][93][94],目前锂的作用机理还不十分清楚,这可能与锂可抑制物质-P(substance-P)[95]及抑制Malassezia yeasts(引发痘痘元凶之一的细菌)生长所需的所有游离脂肪酸有关[96]。过去的一些研究显示锂可以抑制许多酶(enzyme):钠钾泵(Na/K ATPase)、腺苷环化酶(adenylcyclase)、enzymes of the prostaglandins E1 synthesis、和inositol-1-phosphatase等[97]。 锂亦有抗发炎(anti-inflammatory)及免疫调节(immunomodulatory)的作用[97][90]。除此之外,在法国的研究中显示含锂元素的活泉水( Evaux thermal spring water)能改善癌症患者因治疗所引起的皮肤指甲等的副作用[98]。
Appendixes互联网档案馆的存档,存档日期6 November 2011.. By USGS definitions, the reserve base "may encompass those parts of the resources that have a reasonable potential for becoming economically available within planning horizons beyond those that assume proven technology and current economics. The reserve base includes those resources that are currently economic (reserves), marginally economic (marginal reserves), and some of those that are currently subeconomic (subeconomic resources)."

From p. 45: "Herr August Arfwedson, ein junger sehr verdienstvoller Chemiker, der seit einem Jahre in meinem Laboratorie arbeitet, fand bei einer Analyse des Petalits von Uto's Eisengrube, einen alkalischen Bestandtheil, … Wir haben es Lithion genannt, um dadurch auf seine erste Entdeckung im Mineralreich anzuspielen, da die beiden anderen erst in der organischen Natur entdeckt wurden. Sein Radical wird dann Lithium genannt werden." (Mr. August Arfwedson, a young, very meritorious chemist, who has worked in my laboratory for a year, found during an analysis of petalite from Uto's iron mine, an alkaline component … We've named it lithion, in order to allude thereby to its first discovery in the mineral realm, since the two others were first discovered in organic nature. Its radical will then be named "lithium".)

(There dissolved in this [solvent; namely, absolute alcohol] a salt that deliquesced in air, and in the manner of strontium salts, caused the alcohol to burn with a purple-red flame.)
