Catnip Oil
Catnip Oil Introduction
Catnip oil, extracted from the Nepeta cataria plant, has been used for centuries in medicine and as a cat herb. It features a component named nepetalactone that induces reactions in felines. Interestingly catnip oil also offers advantages to humans, such as its application in aromatherapy, insect repellents, and as a natural treatment, for specific health issues.
Catnip is commonly employed to address issues such as difficulty sleeping, anxiety, headaches, migraines, and respiratory infections like colds and flu. It is also used for conditions like swine flu, fever, hives, worms, and gastrointestinal discomforts such as indigestion, colic, cramps, and gas. Furthermore, it serves as a tonic for promoting urination and facilitating the onset of periods in girls, with delayed menstruation.
Some people apply catnip directly to the skin for arthritis, and hemorrhoids, and as a compress to relieve swelling.
Some people also smoke catnip medicinally for respiratory conditions and recreationally for a high.
