Japanese Catnip

Japanese Catnip, scientifically known as Schizonepeta tenuifolia, is an herbal supplement with a history of use in traditional Asian medicine. It is closely related to the more well-known catnip (Nepeta cataria) and shares some similar properties. Japanese Catnip is often used for its potential health benefits, particularly in addressing cold and flu symptoms. It is believed to possess antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. It is commonly used in traditional Chinese and Japanese herbal medicine for its potential to alleviate symptoms like fever, sore throat, and nasal congestion. Japanese Catnip is available in various forms, including capsules, extracts, and teas. While it has a history of use, more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness in modern medicine. As with any herbal supplement, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional before using Japanese Catnip, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications, to ensure its safe and appropriate use.
