Description
Botanical Name: Nepeta cataria
About This Herb: Our Catnip is harvested at peak flowering and gently dried to preserve its aromatic oils and gentle properties. While famous for its euphoric effects on our feline friends, catnip is a mild, pleasant nervine for humans that has been used for centuries, particularly for children and the elderly.
Traditional Uses: For humans, catnip is a gentle nervine and carminative. It’s traditionally used for anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia, especially in children. It also settles the stomach, relieves gas, and can help with colds and fevers by promoting gentle sweating. For cats, well, you know!
How to Prepare: As a tea, steep 1-2 teaspoons in hot water for 10-15 minutes. The mild, minty flavor is pleasant on its own or with a touch of honey. For children, a weaker tea can be made. For cats, offer the dried herb in toys or sprinkled on scratching posts.
Safety & Considerations: Generally recognized as safe for humans. Not for use during pregnancy. Some people may experience mild drowsiness. Keep some aside for your feline friends! Consult your healthcare provider before use.
