Catnip Tea

It would be hard to guess how long cats have known about catnip 
(Nepeta cataria) but people have appreciated it for at least 
2000 years. The plant was familiar to early Roman cooks and 
physicians and has long been a part of people's garden and 
health repertoires. The Plant was introduced to North America 
for Europe, where it  quickly escaped from the gardens and 
spread across the continent, to be used by native Indians and 
included in their inventory of  useful plants. There is a good 
reason for its common name. The bruised foliage, whose odor  has 
a strong mint-like aroma, stimulates cats and makes then "full 
of life". It is often enjoyed as a tea for its soothing relaxing 
benefits.
