It is an old and highly-nutritional remedy for the digestive system that is said to calm an upset stomach, reduce gas and ease pain and cramps. Your cat will love you, too, if you give it a Catnip-stuffed toy. History: Catnip is an erect, ornamental perennial that is native to Europe and western Asia and has been naturalized in North America. It grows along roadsides, in waste places and in mountainous regions up to five thousand feet with square, branching, hairy stems, pointed leaves with scalloped edges and spiked whorls of white flowers that are flecked with purple and red. The plant thrives in north-temperate regions in well-drained soil in sun and may reach a height of five feet. It is frequently used in gardens for its decorative appearance, as well as its highly valued use as an insect repellent that inhibits pests, including aphids, beetles and ants, among others, and is especially effective when planted in vegetable gardens. It does not, however, repel cats; they love it and are fascinated by it! The plant is thought to induce feline purring and relaxation (after producing an odd, frenzied state), and they also love it because it ultimately sedates their prey, including mice and birds. One of the commercially valuable uses of Catnip is in stuffed cat toys; and, of course (and of major importance), the cut tops and leaves have been used for centuries in herbal medicines. The Mohegans made a tea of Catnip for infantile colic, and it was also used historically in the United States to induce sweating and to cure colds. Catnip was included in the United States Pharmacopoeia from 1842 through 1882 and in the National Formulary from 1916 to 1950. It is a bitter, astringent, cooling herb with a pleasing aroma, and the leaves are steeped in a mint-like tea. Catnip is still popular in Europe as a treatment for bronchitis and for chronic diarrhea, and in France, it is considered a seasoning that is important in kitchen herb gardens. Some of the constituents in Catnip include camphor, essential oils (citral, geraniol, nepetol, pulegone, citronellal, thymol, etc.), rosmarinic acid, tannins,
