Catnip | Relaxation & Digestive Ease
The Remedy:
Catnip (Nepeta cataria)—also known as Catmint and in Spanish Hierba Gatera / Menta de Gato—is a gentle, soothing herb traditionally used to support relaxation, digestive ease, sleep quality, and stress relief. Rich in nepetalactone, volatile oils, and calming compounds, catnip relaxes the nervous system while easing tension in the digestive tract.
Commonly used to support anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, indigestion, gas, cramps, menstrual discomfort, and children’s digestive issues, catnip offers mild yet effective calming action without drowsiness.
Enjoyed as a tea, tincture, capsule, or calming blend, catnip is a favorite for nervous system balance, relaxation, and gentle digestive soothing.
