Organic Catnip For Cats

Organic Catnip, produced from the leaves of the Nepeta cataria plant, is a versatile herb valued for both its wellness benefits and its unique effect on cats. This natural product contains nepetalactone, an active compound responsible for its soothing properties in humans and its stimulating effect on felines. Along with nepetalactone, catnip is rich in essential oils, antioxidants, tannins and a range of minerals, including iron, manganese, chromium, potassium and selenium.

For humans, catnip has been used for centuries as a gentle herbal remedy. When brewed into tea, it offers a mild sedative effect that can help ease stress, reduce nervous tension and support natural relaxation. Its calming nature makes it a helpful choice for those looking to unwind or settle the mind before sleep. Catnip also carries mild anti-bacterial and anti-fungal qualities, which add to its traditional use in soothing the body. The herb’s muscle-relaxing effect further supports comfort and rest. Since it is 100% natural, catnip tea is a simple and safe way to enjoy its essence.

For cats and kittens, catnip is a well-known source of enrichment and play. When cats come into contact with the herb, many respond with increased curiosity, playful behavior or rolling and rubbing against the leaves. This happens because catnip pleasantly stimulates feline pheromone receptors. Interestingly, the effect is temporary; cats often lose interest for hours or days before the sensitivity returns. Organic catnip offers a long-lasting scent that encourages natural play and activity, making it suitable for toys, scratchers and training.

The plant itself belongs to the mint family and grows in regions with mild climates across the Northern Hemisphere. Catnip plants bloom in summer, producing small white flowers and soft, grayish-green leaves. These leaves, stems and flowers are harvested at peak bloom and then carefully dried to preserve their natural oils and aroma. High-quality processing ensures a clean, pure, aromatic product ideal for both herbal preparations and pet use.

With over 250 related species in the Nepeta genus, catnip stands out because of its dual benefits for pets and humans. It is popular in herbal practices around the world and remains completely safe and natural. Our Organic Catnip is available in bulk and processed with care to maintain freshness, purity and potency.
