CATNIP TINCTURE TO CALM NERVOUSNESS
Mode Of Action
As a mild nervine, catnip soothes the nervous system and is very suitable for nervous troubles in children. It is calming, relieves nervousness, agitation, anxiety, irritability and mental hyperactivity. Catnip is mildly sedative and promotes sleep in children with fever, infection or sleep difficulties. It helps relieve nervous headaches.
As a digestive tonic, catnip efficiently relieves digestive troubles caused by nervousness, stress or anxiety. Its antispasmodic action relaxes the smooth muscles of the digestive tract and relieves abdominal cramps, flatulence and stomach upsets. As a carminative, it reduces the production of gas and promotes their expulsion, thereby reducing bloating and discomfort. Taken before meals, it stimulates appetite. Taken after meals, it promotes digestion. The astringency of its tannins make it useful to treat diarrhea. It is helpful for mild motion-sickness.
Nepeta cataria is used to treat hives, eczema and dermatitis. It inhibits the enzyme activity of Staphylococcus aureus and reduces its adhesion. As a uterine tonic, it is used for menstrual troubles such as premenstrual syndrome, amenorrhea or dysmenorrhea.
Catnip is also an emmenagogue and releases muscle tension. Catnip contains volatile oils (nepetalactone and its derivatives, valeric acid, camphor, thymol, carvacrol, nepetalic acid, citronellal, pulegone), minerals (Ca, Mg, P, K), trace elements (Cr, Co, Fe, Se) acids (deoxyloganic, rosmarinic), proteins, tannins and terpenes.

History
Known for its stimulating effect on cats, catnip is rather calming on humans. It has been used for decades for its medicinal and culinary virtues. Its leaves are used to make sauces, soups and stews. In the Middle Ages, before the introduction of teas from Asia, catnip infusion was a popular drink. It was one of the main herbs cultivated by the monks in the monastery gardens. In North America, the Cherokee used catnip infusion against colds, colic, cough, dysmenorrhea, fever, hives, hysteria, spasms, stomach aches and worms. The Chippewa used it to reduce fever. Traditionally, the leaves were chewed with other herbs to reduce tooth aches.
