About Catmint:
This plant is a member of the mint family. In Northern America it flourishes everywhere, however, people claim that it was imported in the past. Its leaves are downing above and below and are a little bit larger than peppermint leaves. It was a particularly popular herb among the women of the Ojibwe tribe; they called it Gajugen sibung. They used it to be relax and bring down fevers. It is also very popular among cats, they love to hang out right next to it - it seems to relax them -. Probably that is where the plant got its name from. One of the active substances, metatabilaceton, is also present in an Asian plant, actinidia polygama, that the Asians use to calm down big cats.
