Hi ~
I absolutely LOVE Catnip! It's the herb that saved me a lot of money and probably a trip to a psychologist! I'm not saying that it *will* work like this for everyone, but for me it worked great as an anti-depressant, anti-anxiety, and sedative, plus it has other lovely properties, like carminative (helps stomach upsets and cramps), and yes, it can help with headaches and painful joints. Plus it has lots of nutrients that are good for you, so it can be eaten, as in a salad, and in this way performs its function as a tonic as well. So you see Catnip is a very good herb for lots of things...
I think it actually saved my sanity!
