Call me crazy, but I enjoy a good cup of catnip! Yes, it makes cat go bonkers but it does the reverse for humans... a nice, relaxing "tea." Does anyone know where this can be bought in loose form?
Also, I'm looking for buckwheat. I've had it in bag form but wanted to also try this in loose form.

Seriously, you can grow your own catnip (many pet stores like PetsMart have it or start with seed or get it from Walmart in the spring

I, personally, don't like the smell of catnip, but I know plenty of people who do like it. Catnip is a member of the mint family and has relaxing properties for humans when drank as a tea.
BTW, cats must have the "catnip gene" to be affected by catnip. Young kittens are not affected by catnip. And when cats are done going bonkers, it relaxes them like it does us.

I have ordered from them and they are an excellent website for herbs ando ther "natural" stuff in general. Their shipping is a little higher though, and they don't give you any breaks on free shipping like a lot of other places do.
Still.. I would highly recommend them![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Yo, your local health foods place should have all of that stuff. Well, I know they will have buckwheat. I have bought organic catnip from Petco
Don't always believe what you think!

Holy Chip! Next time that stuff is growing, pluck some of it from Mother Earth... clean it... and brew that stuff! It's pretty wicked stuff!Chip wrote:This stuff grows wild all over my property, even out of a mortared stone wall. But alas, it is Winter. Well, same with every type of mint as well.
Never thought of making a tisane out of it though.
