Catnip
EFFECTS
Catnip is well known for its relaxing effects, gently helping to relieve tension. Because of its mild nature, it is often suggested by herbalists for children with hyperactivity and nervousness. Its ability to promote sweating (diaphoretic) makes it useful to relieve fevers and at the onset of colds. As an anti-spasmodic and carminative (relieves gas), it eases stomach upsets, flatulence, and colic. It is a great remedy for diarrhea in children. Catnip is well known for its ability to get some cats high, plunging them into a rolling, purring ecstasy of delight! May be smoked as a relaxing alternative.
Please note: The 250g size does not come in a home compostable bag.

Catnip
An excellent choice for colds and flus, especially in children, helping to flush out a fever, and calms the nervous system, aiding a good nights’ sleep and reducing anxiety, tension and hyperactivity.
I have bought catnip products from pet stores, Amazon, lots of places and my cats weren't impressed.
But I found Happy Herb while I was searching online recently, and I ordered some Catnip, and my cats went crazy for it.
I have one cat "Frankie" that gets quite stressed when I take him to the vets so now, I sprinkle a little catnip in his cat carrier, and it seems settle him which is great.
So, I will be buying more. Great product.
I tried this one on a lark, it is very fine and I needed to use quite a lot so it didn’t last long but for those few days a gorgeous black Cat with HUGE yellow eyes that I’d never seen before hung round in my backyard, coincidence?
Wow thats an interesting review of catnip. Thanks Laura
How can I use the herbs without.smoking them? And what ways can the catnip be used for my cat?
Hi, the instructions are on the base label, you will see on the corener of the label a lift tab, this reveals an label inderneath with heaps of info and a QR code to learn more. Catnip makes a great tea and if you want to use it with your cat you can get creative, rub it on their toys or leave a pile out for them to play with and roll around in. Thanks, enjoy Laura
Very nice product for me and the dog!
I love this as a tea and my cats love it as a special treat. Good quality and wonderful taste, perfect once sweetened with local honey.
Great to hear you are sharing it with the cats. Its such a potent healing herb on many levels. Thanks Laura
