Young Living's Egyptian Gold essential oil blend has been formulated with a careful selection of oils that, according to tradition, were associated with rituals and sacred practices in ancient Egypt. This synergy seeks to evoke a sense of mysticism and serenity, fostering an environment conducive to meditation, introspection, and spiritual elevation. Inspired by historical accounts of precious ointments and resins used in temples and ceremonies, Egyptian Gold is an invitation to explore the connection between history and aromatic well-being.

• Spruce (Picea mariana): Adds a sweet, earthy note, often used to promote a grounding atmosphere.


• Rose (Rosa damascena): With its exquisite floral aroma, rose is a valuable component that adds depth and softness to the blend.


• Basil (Ocimum basilicum): With an herbaceous, sweet aroma, known in aromatherapy for its revitalizing properties.

Aromatic Profile

The aromatic profile of Egyptian Gold is a complex and evocative symphony. Resinous, earthy, and balsamic notes predominate, intertwined with subtle floral touches and herbaceous nuances. It is a deep, warm, and slightly sweet aroma that may inspire a sense of reverence, antiquity, and solemnity. Its rich, multifaceted fragrance unfolds in layers, inviting a contemplative and comforting olfactory experience.

Uses in Aromatherapy and Wellness

Egyptian Gold has been formulated with the intention of supporting various wellness practices:

• Meditation and spiritual practices: Its aroma has traditionally been associated with deepening meditation, concentration, and spiritual connection.


• Creating a sacred environment: Ideal for diffusing in spaces dedicated to study, or any activity requiring an atmosphere of peace and solemnity.


• Personal harmonization: May contribute to a sense of balance and serenity during moments of introspection or inner search.


• Aromatic massage: Appropriately diluted in a carrier oil, it can be used for a massage that promotes relaxation and general well-being.

Suggested Usage

The following are some common ways to use the Egyptian Gold blend:

• Diffusion: Add 5-8 drops to an ultrasonic essential oil diffuser to scent the environment, especially before or during meditation or yoga practices.


• Topical application: Dilute 1-2 drops with 10 ml of a carrier oil (such as fractionated coconut oil or jojoba oil) and apply to the nape of the neck, temples, wrists, or soles of the feet. This may promote a sense of calm and presence.


• Direct inhalation: Place one drop in the palm of your hand, rub, cup your hands over your nose, and inhale gently. You can also inhale directly from the bottle.


• Aromatic bath: Add 5-10 drops, previously mixed with a tablespoon of Epsom salts or a dispersing agent, to warm bath water for a relaxing experience.

Recommended Synergies

Egyptian Gold may pair well with other blends or essential oils to enhance certain experiences:

• With Lavender or Bergamot for an increased sense of tranquility and calm.


• With Sandalwood or Cedarwood to deepen the woody and earthy notes, ideal for grounded meditation.


• With pure Myrrh or Frankincense to accentuate the resinous and spiritual notes of the blend.

Important Precautions

Although essential oils are natural products, their use requires attention:

• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before topical application to rule out sensitivity.


• Avoid direct contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive skin areas.


• Keep out of reach of children and pets.


• If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult a health professional before use.


• Store in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve its integrity.


• Some components may cause photosensitivity if applied to the skin and exposed to the sun; it is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure for at least 12 hours after topical application if there are any doubts.
