latin name: Nepeta cataria

The ultimate feline herb, for centuries cats have been going crazy over this plant. It makes them happy yet has a more calming effect on people. Catnip has been used in European folk medicine for generations as a calming agent for body and mind. It is gentle and is very useful for children and infants. It is a lovely nervine that has a calming, sedative effect and can help ease fussiness in adults and children while also promoting deep sleep. Part of the mint family, it has bitter properties that help to reduce digestive upset. Catnip acts as a carminative and is often used to support healthy digestion and to soothe the stomach.
