As you may know essential oils are an integral part of what we offer here at Northern Arizona Massage and Wellness. Every massage session includes your choice of an expertly crafted, locally sourced essential oil blend. 

Aromatherapy describes the use of essential oils to heal, enhance health, and even beautify! While many of us know the joy of essential oils through massage, inhalation plays a crucial role too. Though "aromatherapy" is a modern term from the 1920s, the practice has roots stretching back over 5,000 years, with records of essential oil use in ancient China, India, Persia, and Egypt. The Vedas, the oldest Hindu scriptures, mention hundreds of these aromatic treasures, showcasing their importance in Ayurvedic medicine.

Essential oils can be derived from nearly any part of a plant—think seeds, flowers, leaves, and even bark! These highly aromatic, concentrated substances are lighter than water, lipid-soluble, and easily absorbed through the skin or lungs, making them a fast-acting ally for wellness. Once applied or inhaled, your body takes about 30-90 minutes to fully absorb these oils, especially with good circulation.

Our aromatherapy recipes come from Michelle Boyer, PA. As a physician’s assistant Michelle’s specialty is pain management but back even before the alarm bells were sounded about opioids Michelle already had her concerns and she started to look at other options to offer her patients relief. And that is where aromatherapy came in. 

For our blends she chose powerful and unique oils to create truly effective blends. Our oils come from Still Point Aromatics, a local business in Sedona which sources essential oils from all over the world and tests every batch for purity and potency.
We blend these oils in-house, following Michelle's carefully crafted recipes to enhance your massage experience and boost your health.

Want to enjoy them at home? We sell the pure essential oils so they must be diluted for use. Choose from unscented bath/body oil, lotion and epsom salts as well as a unique wearable diffuser. We also have detailed instruction cards for each blend for you to take home.
