Simmer pots, also known as crock pot potpourri, are a fun and easy way to make your house smell incredible utilizing herbs, spices, and fruits. Not only do they provide you with a deliciously fragrant aroma, but they also act as a humidifier and can help to open your airways during dry weather or when you are sick. In some cultures and religions, simmer pots are even used in rituals, with each ingredient bearing significance.
