Aromatherapy Properties: (Uses) Catnip is most often used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and nervousness. Due to this ability to promote relaxation, catnip may also be used to help lessen migraine headaches. Because chemicals in it may have antispasmodic (muscle-relaxing) effects, catnip has also been taken to relieve stomach complaints such as colic, cramps, gas, and indigestion. Although isolated studies in animals and numerous case reports from humans seem to confirm these effects, no clinical studies of humans have been conducted to prove or disprove any medicinal properties of catnip.

According to the 2001 report of the American Chemical Society, the world’s largest scientific society, the essential oil in catnip that gives the plant its characteristic odor, is about ten times more effective at repelling mosquitoes than DEET (The compound used in most commercial insect repellents). In 1999, an Iowa State University research group discovered that catnip also repels cockroaches as well.

Pure & Therapeutic Essential Oils :

This oil is Therapeutic Grade. Commercial Grade essential oils are usually made of the left over plant materials after finishing the therapeutic distillation process. The commercial grade oils retain a robust fragrance suitable for soap making, candle making, as well as cosmetic manufacturing. Unfortunately, because of the reduced active therapeutic content, the commercial grade oils will not be suitable for aromatherapy or massage therapy applications. Silky Scents Essential Oils are all Pure and Therapeutic Grade, not Commercial Grade.

Blends well with: Grapefruit, Lavandin, Lavender, Lemon, Marjoram, Orange, other mints, and Rosemary.

History: Although catnip is best known for its intoxicating influence on cats, humans also make use of its biological properties. Long before Europeans were introduced to Asian teas, the infusion of catnip leaves was a popular beverage, according to "The Book of Tea and Coffee." Like chamomile tea, the catnip brew has a mild calming effect on humans. Catnip has been used in herbal remedies on humans since at least the 15th century. The catnip species originated in Europe and parts of Asia, but its medicinal uses earned it a place in colonial gardens in North America. Of course, the plant soon escaped to the wild and now can be found widely across Canada and the U.S. For commercial use in teas and cat toys, it is cultivated mainly in the Pacific Northwest and parts of Canada, including Alberta and British Columbia.
