Catnip
is a member of the mint family that is original to Eurasia and now widely naturalized in many other parts of the world, including North America. The herb has a long history of use as a carminative and diaphoretic, among other things, most often prepared as a tea or tincture. The primary constituent in the herb that is responsible for many of its actions is an organic compound called
nepetalactone
.
Nepetalactone is also responsible for the insect-repelling properties of
catnip
. Researchers at Iowa State University have conducted several studies on the effects of
catnip essential oil
and found that the chemical nepetalactone is more effective at repelling mosquitoes than DEET and at lower concentrations.
