What's the history behind this soothing Essential Oil and how is it extracted?

Orange Essential Oil, also referred to as Sweet Orange Essential Oil, is derived from the fruits of the Citrus sinensis botanical.  As it does not grow wild anywhere in the world, the exact origin of Citrus sinensis is unknown, however it is thought to have originated between the South-West of China and the Himalayas. 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 an eating 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. 

Orange Essential Oil is derived from the cells that contain the fruit’s volatile fatty oil glands inside the orange peel. There are several ways in which the oil can be extracted. One way is separating the rinds from the Oranges, then grinding or puncturing them before they are pressed. Another way is for the fruits to be rolled over with a trough in order to pierce the Essential Oil pouches located on the underside of the peels. This process creates a liquid made up of orange juice and Essential Oil which gradually separates from each other. Orange Essential Oil can also be produced through Supercritical CO2 Extraction, Solvent Extraction, and Turbo Distillation.
