๐ Catnip : Not just for cats! This mild sedative herb also helps humans! My somewhat controversial advice as an herbalist and a Mom is DITCH THE MELATONIN! There are better herbal options, and Catnip is one of them. Itโs great for relieving restlessness and hyperactivity and not only does it work as a gentle sleep aid, but it also helps to soothe an upset stomach and reduce fever. I use Catnip for babies 6 months and up in mild tea form, as well as in a sleepy time mix for older kids and adults.
Itโs easy to grow in your home garden, and provides an abundant harvest. Itโs generally safe for all members of the family and used to treat common ailments making this plant a level one herb.
For a full breakdown on Catnip and why you should have this on hand in your herbal apothecary, keep an eye out in the herbal courses. Iโll have this and more posted for those in the premium tier soon!
Much Love and BE WELL!
