Catnip Leaf (Nepeta cataria)

Catnip isn’t just a fun treat for your feline companion—it’s also a gentle, calming herb enjoyed by humans for centuries. Whether steeped into a soothing tea or sprinkled as a delightful indulgence for your cat, Nepeta cataria is a versatile herb with a rich history in both traditional herbalism and pet entertainment.

While humans enjoy catnip leaf as a relaxing infusion, for cats, it’s an entirely different experience. Felines possess an extraordinarily keen sense of smell—millions of times more sensitive than ours. Some experts even suggest that cats perceive scents the way humans perceive colors. Just as certain wildcrafted herbs can trigger visual hallucinations in humans, catnip stimulates olfactory hallucinations in cats, producing an ecstatic, playful, and often hilarious reaction. Best of all? It’s completely natural and harmless.

If you share your home with a cat (or multiple cats), keeping a stash of premium-quality catnip leaf ensures endless entertainment—for them and for you!

Known by many names, including Catmint, Catnep, Catswort, and Field Balm, catnip has been cherished for its versatility. This aromatic member of the mint family grows naturally in Central Europe and has since spread across Canada and the Northeast United States. It thrives both indoors and outdoors, making it a favorite among gardeners and herbal enthusiasts.

For humans, catnip has long been valued in traditional European and American folk herbalism for its gentle, calming properties. Historically, it has been used to ease occasional nervousness, promote restful sleep, and support healthy digestion. Herbalists today even consider catnip when addressing emotional well-being linked to the gut.
