Your Skin Holds the Key to Deep Sleep

"What we apply to our skin doesn’t stay on the surface — it travels in." — Dr. Philippa Darbre, Professor of Oncology, University of Reading

In a world that never stops, many of us struggle to switch off — especially at night. When your body holds onto stress, your muscles stay tight, and your mind stays wired, true rest can feel just out of reach. That’s why we created the Surmanti Sleep Support Massage, Bath & Body Oil — a skin-absorbable, multi-use ritual designed to support restful sleep through the power of touch, scent, and botanical nourishment.

Why It Works: Powered by Nature & Tradition

This calming oil is more than skin deep — it’s rooted in centuries of botanical wisdom and supported by emerging science on transdermal delivery, aromatherapy, and the benefits of warm bathing. Traditionally Used in Western Herbal Medicine* to support healthy sleep cycles and relieve sleeplessness – Ease nervous tension and mild symptoms of stress – Promote calm, relaxation, and emotional wellbeing.

The Science Behind Scent & Touch

Essential oils like Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Cedarwood, and Vetiver have been studied for their calming effects on the nervous system. Research shows that inhaling or absorbing these oils through massage or bathing may help: - Lower cortisol and heart rate - Improve sleep quality and onset latency - Reduce mild anxiety and improve mood.

Massage & Lymphatic Flow

Massage isn’t just about relaxation — it physically changes the body. Gentle massage with nourishing oils may: - Stimulate lymphatic drainage and reduce stagnation - Support circulation and oxygen flow to muscles - Help signal the nervous system to shift from 'fight or flight' into 'rest and digest'.
