All ingredients

Before sleep, apply 1-2 drops on each suggested sensory point, massaging gently onto skin. For additional support, combine oil application with slow, deep breathing.

At anatomē, we call it a bathroom practice—the intentional act of extending your time in the bath or shower, not for necessity, but for self-reconnection. Science backs the benefits: slowing down triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering cortisol and easing stress.

Water: The Ritual of Reset

The extra five minutes in the bath or shower aren’t an indulgence—they’re physiological resets. Warm water improves circulation, relaxes muscles, and releases endorphins. Pair it with anatomē’s Bath & Shower Oils, and the therapeutic benefits increase—Roman Chamomile calms the nervous system, Clary Sage balances hormones, and Vetiver supports deep relaxation.

Salt Soaks: More Than Skin Deep

Mineral-rich bath salts provide transdermal absorption of magnesium and potassium - essential for reducing tension and improving sleep quality. A 20-minute soak helps the body detoxify, rehydrate skin, and restore balance.

Moisturising as Meditation

Massaging oil or cream into your skin is a grounding practice—stimulating the vagus nerve, reducing inflammation, and improving lymphatic drainage. The simple pleasure of touch brings presence, while botanical blends nourish both body and mind.

The Mirror: A Moment of Recognition

Before stepping back into chaos—children, emails, instant messages—pause, look at yourself. See your evolving skin, the shifts in your face, the beauty of your presence. Your reflection isn’t just an image—it’s a reminder: you exist beyond demands, notifications, and noise.

Take the time. It’s not a luxury—it's a necessity.
