R80.00
Pharma Germania Natural Products Catnip Herb Cut is a dried preparation of Nepeta cataria, commonly known as Catnip or Catmint.
A member of the mint family, Catnip has a long history of traditional herbal use as a gentle calming and digestive herb. It has traditionally been prepared as an infusion to promote relaxation during periods of nervous tension and to support restful sleep.
Catnip is also traditionally regarded as a carminative, making it popular for digestive discomfort associated with occasional bloating, flatulence and intestinal tension.
The herb contains naturally occurring volatile oils, including nepetalactones, together with flavonoids, phenolic compounds and other phytochemicals. Nepetalactone is also responsible for Catnip’s well-known behavioural effects in many cats, although its traditional human use is primarily associated with calming and digestive support.

Why Choose Pharma Germania Catnip Herb Cut?
Catnip offers both calming and digestive support within traditional herbal practice.
Its gentle aromatic nature has made it a popular ingredient in traditional evening teas, particularly when relaxation is desired. Its carminative properties have also traditionally been used to support digestion where nervous tension is accompanied by bloating or digestive discomfort.
Unlike its stimulating behavioural effect in cats, Catnip has traditionally been used in humans primarily as a mild relaxing herb.
