As herbal remedies, catnips are used as muscle relaxants, nervines, sedatives, and as antispasmodics. They are used to alleviate symptoms such as insomnia, stress, menstrual cramps, cough and intestinal discomfort. The effect is a very mild one.

Nepeta cataria is weakly psychoactive, variably eliciting sedation, euphoria, and, in higher doses, nausea. Although its effect is very mild, catnip may be used as a substitute for marijuana, often in combination with damiana.
