Catnip, a member of the mint family, is most famous as a treat for cats to play with, but it also has a long history of traditional herbal use. Keep your outdoor space free of annoyances with Catnip. To support a restful night's sleep, Catnip can be diffused to promote a relaxing atmosphere.
To ease occasional muscular head tension, add a small amount of Catnip Essential Oil to a carrier oil and apply to affected area.
Add equal parts Catnip and Citronella to water or witch hazel to make a spray for an all-natural aid against outdoor annoyances.
For topical application, dilute to 1-3%.
The International Federation of Aromatherapists does not recommend that Essential Oils be taken internally unless under the supervision of a Medical Doctor who is also qualified in clinical Aromatherapy. All cautions listed for individual oils do not include those cautions from ingestion.

great for sleep
Have been using this on my hubby to help him sleep. Has terrible RLS. Any suggestions for help with RLS would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Catnip but like for people
TLDR: keep away from cats. FANTASTIC for inflammation. No data on bug repellent \n\nI mix my catnip oil with a little bit of black pepper and a lot of coconut oil when my joints hurt terribly. It does WONDERS for my wrist inflammation, but I have to be extra guarded as I have two cats. I am fully aware that essential oils shouldn\'t be used anywhere near cats as they metabolize them differently, but once she\'s caught a whiff of it... \nThat said, it is fairly easy to keep it away from the cats but worriesome to know that they\'ll try to get at it. \nIf you have a cat, don\'t use this at home. \n\nI haven\'t bothered to try this as a bug repellent for fear of cat mobbing.
Dislike the scent
I tried mixing it with citrus, citronella, etc to make a room bug spray and to make it smell better, but I just can\'t take it! As for the effectivity, I\'m not so sure since I don\'t use it on my skin but I have been seeing mosquitos nearby where I sprayed it.
Very strong smell, but blends really well with citrus
I was looking for EO that is kid safe yet can repel mosquitoes well, and I get catnip.\n\nThe smell alone is quite hard to handle, but it blends very well with geranium and citrus; lemon, lime, citronella and it does the repelling well.
Keeps the mosquitoes away!
My mom and I share her catnip oil. We put it in a spray and it keeps the the mosquitos away. I\'ll never go back to the store bought spray again! The smell is kind of strong but it\'s a pleasant smell.
