It’s a gentle but potent herbal ally that every household should know about. Learn to ID, harvest and use this perennial, scientifically called Nepeta cataria of the Lamiaceae family. I love this plant. Sometimes, I add small amounts minced into food to add an interesting minty muskiness, but mostly it is consumed as a tea or tincture. Uses To calm, cool and relax both, emotionally and physically. For menstrual cramps, for sleep, for tension bellyaches, nausea, colic, and for immune support during colds, flus and fevers. It increases detoxification through sweating; so can be added to detox formulas. Therapeutic Qualities Relaxant, nervine, calmer, antispasmodic, diaphoretic, cooling, digestive / carminative, decongestant. To make a medicinal grade catnip infusion (strong tea), make sure to steep it in a jar with a tight fitting lid, so the therapeutic volatile compounds stay in your tea rather than being released into the room. Potential Contraindications While gentle enough for babies and elders and everyone in between, as always, please research any new food or medicine, go slowly, learn, and discuss using it with your healthcare provider. Habitat Look for it in anthropogenic (human created) sites: meadows, edges of woodlands, fields. Likes rich moist soil in full sun to part shade. Hardiness Zones (USDA): 3–9. Native of Eurasia (S Europe, West & Central Asia). Now distributed throughout the USA and many temperate regions of the world Catnip can be vigorous and weedy (which I like). It is a herbaceous perennial (often short lived) that spreads itself about by seeds. If needing to control it, don't let it go to seed.
