When we think about catnip, we of course think about cats, right? They can be wildly entertaining when they get their paws on this bountiful herbal ally. Nepeta cataria may make our kitties highly stimulated, but it has the opposite effect on humans; it is a fantastic nervine, a calming, relaxing botanical that is ready to help when we’re stressed or have muscularskeletal tension, and when we’re menstruating. It’s also an aromatic bitter, so acts as a soothing ally when our gut isn’t happy.

We recently went on a plant walk with our friend Shana Lipner Grover from @SageCountryHerbs to learn more about this gentle herbal ally. Hear what she’s got to say about how this beneficial member of the mint family can be a helpful addition to your apothecary.
