The temps will be close enough to work for you. Make sure the temp does not go above 250 F or you will be burning your herb. What I do with my crock pot is to fire it up on high for the first 30-40 minutes (it get up to 250 F), then take the lid off to cool it slightly back it down to the low setting. Temps remained about 225 F last time, slightly higher that the 200-210 F I wanted, but low enough to deliver the quality...
