Valerian is a popular herb for treating anxiety but unless you enjoy the smell of stinky feet from a tea, I’d avoid it. They also have a Traditional Medicinals Nighty Night Valerian Tea. Be cautious with catnip during pregnancy, as it may have a uterine stimulating effect. Instead, buy catnip suitable for human use and use it for yourself and your cat. Do not use pet store catnip for making tea. And yes, you buy catnip leaf in bulk for making teas, like this Wild Foods Dried Catnip Leaf or, for convenience, in tea bags such as Celebration Herbals Catnip Tea. Traditional Medicinals is one of the few herbal tea companies that has caught on to this relaxing herb for humans. This was such an effective treatment that he would calm down as soon as he saw the dropper. It works so well, and is so safe, in fact, that, when my son was a baby, I brewed a catnip and fennel tea for his colic, to give to him with a dropper. Like many herbs, it’s no miracle cure-all, it works for certain things. It helps relax the GI tract while exerting a gentle anti-anxiety effect. It is especially good for any kind of gastrointestinal upset, especially cramping and bloating. But, although it is stimulating for your cat, it is relaxing to humans.

Keep in mind that the evidence as to the effectiveness of any of these is mixed, but such evidence exists. If you have tried Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime tea, then you may find this product to be more effective simply because, frankly, it contains more effective ingredients including passionflower, chamomile, hops, and catnip. What are they supposed to call it? Knock You Over the Head tea? Anyway, this herbal tea is meant to help you relax and fall asleep. I could do with a less infantile name, though.
