Nepeta cataria [Nepet]
The catnip of our grand-mothers. This old remedy they say the tincture is as good as, or better than, the infusion 20 or 30 drops in hot water was given to crying, colicky babies, and produced a quiet sleep; in adults it was regarded as a soothing agent in nervous headaches, irritation, hysteria, acute coryza, grippe and, in short, in cases where the nerves were on edge.
