Sweet Orange

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis

  • Essential oil

Sweet Orange essential oil is a popular oil extracted from the rind of the sweet orange fruit, Citrus sinensis. With its sweet, citrusy aroma, it’s a favorite among aromatherapy enthusiasts and is widely used for its varied benefits.

Origin 

Sweet Orange essential oil is extracted primarily from the orange peels through a process called cold pressing. The sweet orange tree, believed to have originated in Southeast Asia, is now cultivated worldwide, particularly in warm climates such as those in Florida and California in the United States, the Mediterranean regions, and Brazil.

A Historical Journey

The orange tree’s history is rich, dating back centuries. The sweet orange was a luxury item in ancient China and was often used in traditional Chinese medicine. The fruit was later introduced to the Middle East and Europe through various trade routes.

In Europe during the Middle Ages, oranges were a symbol of wealth and often used as ornamental pieces at banquets. The fragrance of oranges was believed to ward off bad spirits, and thus, they were also associated with happiness and good fortune. The essential oil began to gain popularity in the 17th century for its fragrance and medicinal properties.

In traditional medicine, oranges were used for various purposes, including easing digestion, lifting mood, and treating skin ailments. Their peels were often used in different remedies and preparations for their aromatic and healing properties.
