This post originated while having a discussion with a friend about scented candles and how they give people headaches or even worse, cause asthma strain when burned in the home. Last month, I came home with some delicious smelling candles however the perfumes in them had made my son’s chest tight (he has asthma). I had tested the theory a few times to make sure it was the candles…unfortunately, the candles had to go. I found that soy based candles worked best with natural scent however they were incredibly expensive!! My friend had suggested a pot simmer with different ingredients to make your home smell wonderful and WOW, I loved the results.
I threw all of the ingredients in a pot and let simmer for the day and our home smelled absolutely amazing! It definitely got better the longer is simmered. It took me 5 minutes to throw together! I have read that simmering in a slow cooker is a great idea as well so I will have to try it in my mini slow cooker.
Happy Holidays!
