Catnip: An In-the-Moment Pause for Quiet Ease
Gentle, calming and quietly playful. While cats go wild for it, Catnip has quite the opposite effect on humans and is often chosen in moments that call for slowing down, loosening tension and returning to a steadier pace. Long appreciated in Western and European folk herbalism for its comforting character and softly settling nature.

Herbal Intelligence
Phytochemistry
Catnip leaf and flowering tops contain volatile oils, most notably nepetalactones, along with iridoids, flavonoids and other phenolic compounds. Laboratory studies have looked at these constituents for their effects on the nervous system and on smooth muscle.
Living tradition
Catnip is a European plant that has travelled. It is now naturalised across North America and temperate Asia, and it goes by three names, Catnip, Catmint and Catnep, which all say the same thing about who likes it most.
Suggested use
2 tsp/cup, steep 10 minutes. Take 1 - 3 times daily. For children: 1/2 dose, sweetened.

Nice to smoke very relaxing feeling
Thank you Mal! Happy to hear you are loving our Catnip.
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!
