Catnip has been used medicinally for thousands of years, as a tea, it's believed to relieve chest congestion and loosen phlegm. It has a history of use for cancer, toothache, corns, hives, insomnia, indigestion, cramps and colic.
If you're going to use catnip, please use only as a tea or dietary supplement. For those of you looking to get high by smoking catnip, there is no evidence it does this. Let me recommend this quiz for alternatives to smoking catnip.
btw-If you don't have cats, hanging dried catnip in dark places can help control cockroaches. If you do have cats, it will drive them crazy...the cats.
Despite all the claimed benefits, catnip is no longer listed by the FDA as generally safe for human use. So, this is another herb you should see your doctor about.
Catnip supplements should be used only with consultation of your doctor and bought from reputable sources.
If you're looking to improve your health and fitness, you probably want a healthy life...including mind, body and spirit. You can renew your mind and spirit with God's help. He can heal the stuff your diet doesn't control. If you want His help, go to Healing From God.
