Insect repellent: Catnip essential oil contains compounds like nepetalactone that have been found to repel insects such as mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches.
Aromatherapy: The aroma of catnip essential oil is often described as minty and herbal. Inhaling the aroma of catnip oil through diffusers or aromatherapy practices might have a calming and relaxing effect on some people.
Home fragrance: The pleasant aroma of catnip essential oil can be used to create potpourri blends or homemade air fresheners to add a refreshing scent to indoor spaces.
