Crushed Catnip Leaves and Flowers have the active ingredient nepetalactone, which induces a stimulating response in most domestic cats. It triggers behaviours such as increased playfulness, rolling, rubbing, and heightened energy levels. This response usually lasts for several minutes, followed by a period of calmness or relaxation. For cats, it can be used for:

• Entertainment
• A training aid
• And to make catnip toys

Beyond its appeal to cats, catnip has been utilized for its potential health benefits in humans as well. For humans, it can be used as:

• A mild sedative 
• An insect repellent
• And a digestive aid
