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%.

Just OK
Itâs an alright oil... I donât use it frequently so I probably wonât purchase this oil in the future. Scent is medicinal in nature.
Surprised
I got this to help with sleep, but I was surprised to find that it is also soothing for a cough, I really felt my cough was comforted when applied to chest
Curious
I was curious about this oil and finally decided to take the plunge and get it after hearing good reviews about it. At first the scent takes some getting used to. Kinda remind me of helichrysum. Haven't really use it as insect repellent yet, but when diffusing, 2 drops is enough to get the scent.
Catnip's aroma
Catnip's aroma is quite challenging when undiluted. It is pungent and medicinal reminds me of medicinal herbs. If you are looking for sweeter smelling herbal oil, there are other oils like sage (various types), marjoram, dill weed, mastrante etc. Now Catnip in low dilution, her scent unfold as sweet-ish and 'spearmint'-ish. To say its floral...hmmm....more like herbal, sweet green smell if dilute. Maybe in its combined complexity I do detect a bit of floral. Akin like in petitgrain I smell a bit of neroli but I would not think petitgrain is a floral. Anyway I recommend keeping a small bottle as reference. If anyone by chance buy 30ml , do share what motivates you to use Catnip in reviews here.
Great for sleep
It sounded crazy to me to use Catnip essential oil for anything therapeutic, BUT I can't argue with the results. Put on the bottoms of my feet at bedtime, this oil knocks me out! If you have cats, yes, they WILL notice and try to lick you! Part of my bedtime arsenal!
