Catnip is a plant. The flowering tops are used to make medicine.
Catnip is used for trouble sleeping (insomnia); anxiety; migraine and other headaches; cold and other upper respiratory infections; flu; swine flu; fever; hives; worms; and gastrointestinal (GI) upset, including indigestion, colic, cramping, and gas (flatulence). It is also used as a tonic, for increasing urination, and for starting menstrual periods in girls with delayed onset of menstruation.
Some people apply catnip directly to the skin for arthritis, hemorrhoids, and as a compress to relieve swelling.
Some people also smoke catnip medicinally for respiratory conditions and recreationally for a “high.”
In manufacturing, catnip is used as a pesticide and insecticide.
It is thought that the chemicals in catnip have a calming effect.
