Catnip extract is derived from Nepeta cataria, a herb in the mint family known for its stimulating effects on cats. The active compound, nepetalactone, binds to feline olfactory receptors, triggering playful or euphoric behavior. For humans, it has traditional uses in herbal teas to promote relaxation and relieve mild anxiety or insomnia. The extract is typically obtained through steam distillation or solvent extraction, preserving its potent essential oils. While safe for most cats, excessive exposure may cause temporary hyperactivity. In aromatherapy, catnip is valued for its calming properties. Always use high-quality, pure extract to ensure efficacy and safety for both pets and humans.

Application of Catnip Extract
Catnip extract, derived from the Nepeta cataria plant, is widely known for its effects on cats, but it also has several applications for humans, animals, and industries.
Catnip is commonly used in toys, sprays, and treats to stimulate cats. The active compound, nepetalactone, triggers playful behavior in felines, making it useful for pet enrichment and training.
Studies suggest that catnip extract is an effective natural insect repellent, particularly against mosquitoes, cockroaches, and flies. It can be used in sprays, candles, and lotions as a safer alternative to synthetic chemicals.
Traditionally, catnip has been used to relieve anxiety, insomnia, and digestive issues. Its mild sedative properties make it useful in teas and tinctures for relaxation.
Due to its pleasant minty aroma, catnip extract is used in essential oils, perfumes, and skincare products for its calming and anti-inflammatory effects.
Catnip can act as a natural pest deterrent in organic farming, reducing the need for chemical pesticides.
Researchers use catnip to study feline behavior and sensory responses, helping improve pet care products.
