Parts Used: Herb, leaves.

Bodily Influences: For parents whose children or babies experience colic (spastic gas pains) Catnip is a Godsend. Often a child will scream with discomfort and in tears cannot even tell the parents what's wrong. Catnip Pure Herbs Liquid extract is applied generously to the back and the abdominal area. By putting drops on the tongue as needed, tormenting gas will be rapidly expelled from the body.  Catnip is swift and effective in cases of high blood pressure where arteries are nervously cramped. Those desiring to quit cigarettes may do so by placing several drops of Catnip Pure Herbs Liquid Exact on the back of the tongue anytime a cigarette is desired. Although domestic cats go a little loony with the scent of catnip, or when eating it, be assured just the opposite is true with people.

Recommended Dosage: 5 to 20 drops three times a day or as needed. In cases of high blood pressure, 40 drops 3 times per day.

Directions on label: For adults, mix 2 ml of extract in 2 oz (60 ml) of water one time daily preferably with a meal.
