Catnip Extract

Catnip (Nepeta cataria)

Catnip is the herb I think of when the nerves and digestion seem to unsettle one another. When worry flutters through the belly. When tension brings on cramping, nervous agitation stirs the gut, or a restless body struggles to find its equilibrium. Pungent and aromatic, Catnip is a gentle relaxing nervine with a particular affinity for digestive disturbance arising alongside nervous tension.

Ruled by Air and Mercury, Catnip carries a mobile, dispersing quality. It moves between the nervous and digestive systems with a particular talent for easing the interplay between them. Traditionally valued as a carminative and antispasmodic, Catnip helps settle digestive tension, relieve gas, and soothe the nervous agitation that can accompany discomfort. Its gentle nature makes it especially useful where sensitivity and reactivity call for a softer hand.

Where Peppermint moves and invigorates the digestive tract, Catnip tends to the tension beneath the disturbance. It is particularly suited to nervous stomachs, stress-related cramping, and those unsettled states in which restlessness, digestive discomfort, and emotional agitation seem to feed one another.

This is gentle, versatile medicine. Not forceful. Not heavy. Just quietly settling, helping the nerves and belly find their way back into conversation.
