Catnip Essential Oil
Catnip essential oil Nepeta cataria is a perennial herb of the mint family. Its erect, square, branching stem is hairy and grows from 3-5 feet high. The plant has a pleasant, aromatic odor. And it seems to be a fact that plants transplanted are always destroyed by cats unless protected, but they never meddle with the plants raised from seed, being only attracted to it when it is in a withering state, or when the peculiar scent of the plant is excited by being bruised in gathering or transplanting. Catnip oil has been used to control fever, used also for colic, colds, flu, inflammation, pain, chickenpox, leaves chewed to relieve toothache, and convulsions, stimulating the appetite, as an aid to digestion and sleep. Relieves stress, promotes sweating, relieves painful menstruation, used to promote menstruation. Popular uses in Europe are for chronic bronchitis and for diarrhea.
