How it works
The largest organ in the body, the human skin is an exceptionally complex and many-faceted membrane. In modern medicine, up until relatively recently, there has been a tendency to believe that the skin functioned exclusively as a barrier and that the body could not absorb Health Products topically. Studies have established that this is far from being true. Medicinally active substances can actually penetrate through the top layer of the skin down into the layers below.
