CATNIP is an aromatic perennial herb native to Central Europe and now naturalized throughout the northeastern US and Canada. This plant grows to approximately 1m and has dark green , oval toothed leaves. The medicinal components of the plant are its dried leaves and white flowering tops.
Cats inhale the aromatic oils of catnip where they come into contact with special receptors in the cats nose. The receptors are linked to the brain and affect the cats behavior. Cats will commonly sniff, rub, lick and chew catnip.
