Catnip is great for humans as well. Its has a minty flavor and has mild relaxing and pain relief elements. Its even safe for children, pregnant women and can pass through to breastmilk to calm fussy children. Its a very useful and safe plant

As a general rule if it smells minty it's pretty good to eat in small quantities. Teas are the preferred medium
