Description

Catnip & Fennel is a synergistic combination containing two time-honored herbs that primarily support the digestive and nervous systems.

Catnip, an herb in the mint family, has been used for centuries in traditional herbal medicine as a sedative to calm the nervous system and digestive system. The herb is also used to reduce fevers by promoting sweating.

In herbal medicine, fennel fruits, commonly known as seeds, are used to relieve gastrointestinal discomfort, to relieve bloating as well as stomach pain and cramps, thanks to the essential oils of the herb.
