Nepeta Cataria or Catnip is native to the Mediterranean, nepetalactone causes euphoria in felines, which is why it owes its name.

This is a highly concentrated, premium quality oil. Extracted with CO2, the purest way to extract an essential oil.

Very effective in sleep disorders and insomnia used in very small doses. In discouragement, stress and depression, as it provides peace of emotional balance. It is an effective anti-mosquito. Catnip should never be used pure on the skin as it is irritating.

Uses in felines:
To make spray for cats, you must make a proportion of 1:99, that is, 1ml of Catnip Essential Oil per 99ml of carrier oil, mix well and put in an oil sprayer. Can be used on cat toys or in any space you want to encourage play. There are some cats that are immune to Catnip.

Essential oils extracted with CO2 have the properties of essential oils but have different nuances of aroma. They are extracted using carbon dioxide CO2, under pressure. In normal atmospheric conditions, CO2 is a gas, but when it is at high pressures it is compressed, until it has the density of a liquid, and becomes Supercritical Carbon Dioxide, being in an intermediate state between gas and liquid, being neither. of the two. It is in this supercritical phase that CO2 becomes a solvent to extract the essential oils contained in the plants. Once extracted and when the pressure decreases, the CO2 returns to its gas state, dissipating completely, leaving the extracted oil very pure and clean. It is the cleanest technique and achieves the best quality essential oils possible.
