Submerge into the gentle, tranquil embrace of Edens Garden Catnip essential oil, a unique botanical treasure cherished for its soothing wellness properties and often infused into herbal teas for luxurious indulgence. This perennial essence, native to Europe and flourishing across North America, offers more than just a feline allure; it's an aromatic passport to serenity and repose for us humans, too.
When you breathe in the subtle, herbaceous scent of Catnip essential oil through your diffuser, you're not just enjoying a delightful aroma—you're partaking in a tradition steeped in nature's own remedy. But it's not just about relaxation. The main component, terpenoid nepetalactone, obtained through steam distillation, doubles as a modestly effective deterrent against pesky mosquitoes and flies, proving that nature's gifts are as practical as they are pleasant.
And if you're seeking a more personal touch of tranquility, combine Catnip essential oil with a carrier oil to create a homemade skin soother, perfect for bringing calm to your day or prepping for a restful night. We know our furry feline friends are drawn to the charm of Catnip, but due to its potent nature, we advise enjoying this oil away from your whiskered companions. Dive into the naturally nurturing essence of Catnip and let Edens Garden guide you to a haven of calm and protection.
