Catnip (Nepeta cataria) is more than just a favorite treat for our feline friends. This flowering perennial herb from the mint family has a rich history of medicinal use. Whenever I drink the tea, I get relaxed and sleepy, even if it’s been a rough day. Here are its remarkable benefits and how to make the tea.

How to make Catnip tea: Catnip tea can be made with 1 tablespoon of fresh leaves or 1 teaspoon of dried leaves per cup of water. Bring water to a boil and pour it over the leaves and allow it to steep for at least 5 minutes. Strain and sweeten with your favorite sweetener if you wish.
