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. |

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. |

General Safety Information:
Do not take any oils
internally without consultation from a qualified aromatherapy practitioner.
Do not apply undiluted essential oils, absolutes, CO2s or other concentrated
essences onto the skin. If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage,
have cancer, or have any other medical problem, use oils only under the
proper guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Use extreme
caution when using oils with children and give children only the gentlest

aromatherapy practitioner before using oils with children. A skin patch test
should be conducted prior to using an oil that you've never used before. |
