History: 

According to historical sources: In 1493, Christopher Columbus carried Orange seeds during his expedition to the Americas and eventually they reached Haiti and the Caribbean; in the 16th century, Portuguese explorers introduced Orange trees to the West; in 1513, Ponce de Leon, the Spanish explorer, introduced Oranges to Florida; in 1450, Italian traders introduced Orange trees to the Mediterranean region; in 800 AD, Oranges were introduced to eastern Africa and the Middle East by Arab traders and were then distributed through the trade routes. In the 15th century, Portuguese travelers introduced the Sweet Oranges they brought back from China to the woodland areas of West Africa and to Europe. In the 16th century, Sweet Oranges were introduced in England. It is believed that Europeans valued Citrus fruits mainly for their medicinal benefits, but the Orange was quickly adopted as a fruit. Eventually, it came to be cultivated by the wealthy, who grew their own trees in private “orangeries.” The Orange has come to be known as the oldest and the most commonly grown tree fruit in the world.

For thousands of years, Orange Oil’s ability to naturally enhance immunity and reduce several symptoms of numerous ailments have lent it to traditional medicinal applications for the treatment of acne, chronic stress, and other health concerns. The folk remedies of the Mediterranean region as well as the regions of the Middle East, India, and China used Orange Oil to relieve colds, coughs, chronic fatigue, depression, flu, indigestion, low libido, odors, poor circulation, skin infections, and spasms. In China, Oranges are believed to symbolize good fortune and thus they continue to be a significant feature of the traditional medicinal practices. 

Fun Facts About Sweet Orange: 

• Nearly 85% of all oranges grown are used to make frozen concentrated orange juice, which was first introduced in 1940. Most of the peels from the juiced oranges are then used to make orange essential oil.
• Orange trees produce orange blossoms, which have many uses. In Spain, fallen blossoms are used to make herbal tea. They can also be used to make a citrus-scented version of rosewater, called orange blossom water. In some Middle Eastern countries, the scented water is often added to disguise the taste of hard water. In the United States, the blossom water is used to make scones and marshmallows. It is also a common ingredient in French cuisine. The blossoms are also popular in the perfume industry and are the state flower of Florida.
• Oranges were known as the fruits of the Gods. It is believed that oranges were the “golden apples” that are mentioned in the story of Hercules and Titan Atlas, where Hercules tricked Atlas into holding up the world again so that Hercules could take the golden apples that Atlas had picked.

• Take note of how your pet responds at all times and if you notice your pet resisting an aroma, discontinue use and move them to a well-ventilated space
