I really did not know that humans could take catnip. It sounds like it might be worth looking into.

I don't know if it will be at my local health food store. I am not sure what the same for it is in Spanish - will have to look that up.

I assume it will not make me start climbing trees. I think I am a bit past climbing trees - lol

It makes total sense to me because my daughter is on large doses of Holy Basil for anxiety and so far it seems to be working! Whenever I can, I like to try the natural products first, especially since medications can surprise you with horrible side affects....
