Cats and their humans can
benefit from catnip
A harmless high for felines, and beneficial for humans. Catnip leaves contain considerable quantities of vitamins C and E, both excellent antioxidants. The primary phytochemicals, nepetalactone isomers, are mild sedatives, somewhat like the active ingredients in valerian. Catnip, is a potent sleep-inducer for humans. It soothes the nervous system and can safely help get a restless child off to sleep. Catnip calms without affecting you the next day.
Catnip teas have long been used in traditional herbal medicine to quell digestive disturbances, and help stimulate menstruation.
A hot cup of catnip tea is excellent for colds, flu, or the infectious diseases of childhood (eg measles), because of its action in inducing sleep and producing perspiration without increasing the heat of the system.

 Catnip essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves and has similar properties as the whole leaf, being antispasmodic and carmative (for digestive upsets) and diaphoretic (promotes perspiration), and febrifuge (breaks a fever), for use in colds. It is an effective insecticide and it's main use is as an insect repellent. Nepetalactone, which gives catnip its odor, was found to be 10 times more effective than the popular insect repellent diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET). Herbacous and sutblely floral, catnip oil blends well with Grapefruit, lavandin, lavender, lemon, marjoram, orange, other mints, and rosemary.

Catnip (Catnep to the English) has an aromatic, characteristic odor, which bears a certain resemblance to that of both Mint and Pennyroyal. It is owing to this scent that it has a strange fascination for cats, who will destroy any plant of it that may happen to be bruised. There is an old saying about this plant:
'If you set it, the cats will eat it,
If you sow it, the cats don't know it.'
(Grieve, Maude

 It is an herb of Venus. Nep is generally used for women to procure their courses, being taken inwardly or outwardly, either alone, or with other convenient herbs in a decoction to bathe them, or sit over the hot fumes thereof Nicholas Culpeper |
 Catnip brings energies of knowledge, mystery, and playfulness. |
