根據臨床研究中顯示,當鋰使用於外用的局部治療時,能有效治療脂漏性皮膚炎(seborrheic dermatitis)[90][91][92][93][94],目前鋰的作用機理還不十分清楚,這可能與鋰可抑制物質-P(substance-P)[95]及抑制Malassezia yeasts(引發痘痘元兇之一的細菌)生長所需的所有游離脂肪酸有關[96]。過去的一些研究顯示鋰可以抑制許多酶(enzyme):鈉鉀泵(Na/K ATPase)、腺苷環化酶(adenylcyclase)、enzymes of the prostaglandins E1 synthesis、和inositol-1-phosphatase等[97]。 鋰亦有抗發炎(anti-inflammatory)及免疫調節(immunomodulatory)的作用[97][90]。除此之外,在法國的研究中顯示含鋰元素的活泉水( Evaux thermal spring water)能改善癌症患者因治療所引起的皮膚指甲等的副作用[98]。

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.)
