Throw all these items in your pan, cover with water, bring to a boil, then turn on low to simmer. Throughout the day you need to add in a little more water to prevent pan from burning dry. When I add more water, I return it to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer again. Sometimes I even set the timer to remind me to check the water level. I can generally keep adding water for a couple days before needing to drain the water, throw away old ingredients, and start again. It’s great for winter months or dry climates as it adds a little moisture to the air.<\/p>\n

Other herbs that make great scented and beneficial potpourri:<\/span><\/strong>

Play around with ingredients and have fun. This mixture can be used in many ways. Tonight I’m going to strain off some of my water, add 1 Tbs. of apple cider vinegar, and use it as a rinse for my hair. You could do the same, or even and wipe your counters with it.<\/p>\n
