I have an old friend who loves catnip and always grows it, she dries and makes the tea. I was visiting her once and had the tea and I hate it the taste, so when I grew it I decided to tincture it instead. Lately her cats roll in it and destroyed it so I’m sending her seeds to grow in planters. It is considered a sedative so cats seems to like it. It is calming but not dulling (to humans anyway). I use it almost daily.
Thank you, lj, for reinvigorating the Natural Health thread. You’re our catnip!
