Catnip produces a happy, spunky liveliness in cats, but for humans, in humans, it’s well-known for its gentle and calming properties. Catnip has a long history of traditional use in herbal practices and is most commonly prepared as a tea or tincture. The primary constituent in the herb that is responsible for many of its actions is an organic compound called nepetalactone. Nepetalactone is also responsible for the insect-repelling properties of catnip. Yes, catnip does repel mosquitos!
