Long-term infusions
Long-term infused oils sit for a minimum of one year or longer before opening in order to have a more concentrated, infused oil that is used similar to an essential oil by the drop rather than by the ounce as one would use a short-term infused oil. Long-term infused oils are prized for their vibrant colors, concentration, and use with or without essential oils as well as their long shelf life.History
It is unknown when infusions were first made, but the first recorded use of essential oils is in the 10th century by the Persian chemist Avicenna. Infusions were used by common men or women in daily life. Today the use of infusions is becoming common once again. Because infusions cannot be patented, there is little available research in regard to infusions.See also
