When amber is worn on the skin, the skin's warmth releases minuscule amounts of healing oils from the amber which are then
absorbed via the skin into the bloodstream.
When a baby is wearing amber teething necklace on the skin, the skin's warmth releases healing oils from the amber (a resin) which are
absorbed via the skin into the bloodstream.
Even more sobering is the fact that what is
absorbed via the skin can potentially be far more damaging than what we put in our mouths!
Magnesium is often better
absorbed via the skin, so you can also soak in magnesium salt baths or try a magnesium oil spray.

absorbed into the bloodstream
via the
skin or inhaling unintentionally through the nose or mouth.
There is no way of knowing how much testosterone is
absorbed through the
skin into the bloodstream, and the results of treatment
via these methods could be reduced in comparison to testosterone injections.
Hi Debbie, we know that the
skin absorbs certain things — say like medications
via skin patches into the blood stream.
The
skin layer planet is optically very thin, so it doesn't affect the OLR significantly, but (absent direct solar heating) the little bit of the radiant flux (approximatly equal to the OLR) from below that it
absorbs must be (at equilibrium) balanced by emission, which will be both downward and upward, so the flux emitted in either direction is only half of what was
absorbed from below;
via Kirchhoff's Law, the temperature must be smaller than the brightness temperature of the OLR (for a grey gas, Tskin ^ 4 ~ = (Te ^ 4) / 2, where Te is the effective radiating temperature for the planet, equal to the brightness temperature of the OLR — *** HOWEVER, see below ***).
Most photons are
absorbed lower down and cause molecules to evaporate indirectly by providing energy to the
skin layer, which is then available to the evaporating molecules
via convection and conduction.
