Simmer Pots🌸

What are Simmer Pots?

Simmer pots are sometimes called stovetop potpourri. Basically it’s a simmering pot of citrus, spices, and other things to make your house smell amazeballs. An all-natural (I hate that word, but it’s appropriate here) air freshener! #make a simmer pot #home #aromatherapy #herbs #flowers

2025/3/3 Edited to

Simmer pots, also known as stovetop potpourri, provide an excellent way to freshen your home with natural ingredients. To create a simmer pot, select a combination of citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, spices such as cinnamon and cloves, and herbs like rosemary or thyme. Simply combine these ingredients in a pot of water and let them simmer on the stove, filling your space with wonderful aromas. Using simmer pots not only makes your home smell amazing, but it's also an eco-friendly alternative to commercial air fresheners packed with chemicals. This method allows for personalization, as you can tweak recipes to suit your mood or the season, making them great for gatherings, holidays, or just a relaxing evening at home. Simmer pots are particularly popular during the fall and winter months when warm and spicy scents create a cozy atmosphere. Besides aesthetics, incorporating simmer pots into your routine can improve your well-being. Aromatherapy has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety while enhancing mood. Certain scents, such as citrus and peppermint, can energize you, while others, like vanilla and lavender, can help you unwind. Explore various combinations of ingredients to find what works best for you, and enjoy the benefits of this delightful practice!

An infographic titled "Simmer Pot Do's & Don'ts" advises using herbs, fruit, spices, low heat, and setting intentions. It warns against putting crystals in pots, adding essential oils to boiling water, or leaving unattended. Best practice is to place crystals near the pot.

Simmer Pot Do’s and Don’ts
