Catnip is a member of the mint family with tall upright growth. High yielding and attracts bees.
Medicinally, catnip gently relieves “congestion” affecting the nerves and has a sedative effect on the nervous system. Due to its mild, gentle nature, catnip, like lemon balm, is excellent to give for nervousness and hyperactivity of children as well as a tea to relieve fevers and colds.
