WHAT IS CATNIP ESSENTIAL OIL? Peppermint oil is derived from the leaves of the peppermint plant or Mentha pipertita, a hybrid of the water mint and spearmint plants, and M arvensis var. Piperascensa, a plant from the Labiatae family Peppermint essential oil has so many uses, it’s no wonder this oil is a staple in many people’s medicine cabinets. And it certainly does much more than freshen your breath! It’s used to soothe nausea and other stomach issues, perk the senses up before a long meeting, and cool overworked muscles (thanks to the menthol). Luckily, peppermint also helps to clear congestion, quiet headaches and tackle symptoms from PMS. It is important to note that peppermint essential oil is intense and far more concentrated than other essential oils. The topical application of peppermint oil is generally safe, although it is necessary to dilute with a carrier oil like almond or jojoba oil. It is advised that some people may experience a burning sensation or allergic rash, especially with sensitive skin. And more importantly, it is never advised to use on young children. The entire plant contains menthol, an organic compound with local anesthetic properties which provides a wonderful cooling sensation while it naturally alleviates discomfort. It also has antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, insecticidal, antispasmodic and carminative properties. Organic Ingredients: 100% Pure Organic Catnip Essential Oil.

This essential oil can cure almost all forms of cramps, whether they are muscular, intestinal, respiratory, or any other part. It efficiently relaxes muscle pulls and helps to cure spasmodic cholera. Since it is an anti-spasmodic, it cures all other problems related with cramps or spasms. A carminative, as we all know, is a property that helps in the removal of gases from the intestines. Gas that is trapped in the intestines and forced upwards can be very dangerous and sometimes even fatal. It causes a choking feeling, causes chest pains, indigestion, and uneasiness, raises blood pressure, and gives acute stomach aches. In this sense, catnip oil can help you a lot. It effectively removes gases through downward movement (which is safe) and does not let additional gases form. Catnip oil is very good for those who are suffering from chronic gas trouble. This is yet another side effect (a good one, since side effects are not necessarily bad) of the stimulating property of Catnip oil. It stimulates the hormone secretions and helps to regulate menstruation. It is particularly good when someone is suffering from obstructed and irregular menses. It also eases cramps and reduces the pain associated with menstruation. Catnip oil acts as a tonic for the nerves and the nervous system. It helps to cure many nervous disorders, including shaking hands or limbs, nervousness, vertigo, Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease, convulsions, sluggishness, and a lack of reflexes. Basically, it strengthens nerves and activates them. Catnip oil is stomachic, meaning that it keeps the stomach in order and functioning well. It cures stomach disorders and ulcers, while ensuring the proper flow of bile and gastric juices and acids in the stomach. Sometimes, the inner lining of the stomach is corroded due to prolonged acidity, which can result in an ulcer. This happens due to a lack of bile, which neutralizes the acids. Catnip oil can help you avoid this situation, since it helps to maintain proper secretions in stomach. Catnip oil is diuretic in nature, which means that it promotes urination. It increases the frequency of urination. Thus, it is very beneficial for those who are suffering from any extra accumulation of water in the body, which results in swelling, due to chronic renal failure. It relieves those people by removing extra water from the body through urination. It also helps in losing weight, reducing blood pressure, and removing toxins like uric acid from the body.
