We source only pure essential oils.
We like small amounts of Catnip Essential Oil in outdoor blends, usually combined with a number of oils (including Lemon Eucalyptus). You'll find that our Lemon Heaven blend contains both of these. You'll find that catnip's scent isn't the most pleasant on its own but luckily, it doesn't take much to be effective. Blended properly, you can use this oil in your blends.
When combined with other calming oils, catnip essential oil can be an effect addition to a nighttime blend. Again, use very small amounts and blend slowly to create a palatable scent!
Catnip contains nepetalactone which is said to attract cats and be effective in outdoor blends. This constituent is similar in structure to valepotriates, the sedative principal in valerian ~ paraphrased from Aromatherapy for Health Professionals: Price and Price

Catnip Essential Oil Safety Info
According to Tisserand and Young, Catnip essential oil has no contraindication. This oil should be avoided orally due to possible CNS effects. This oil could be a dermal sensitizer, especially if used beyond shelf life Source: Tisserand, Robert and Young, Rodney.

Reading the full profile for Catnip Essential Oil is highly recommended by your DeRu Extracts staff.
While we’ve made this clear that we are selling this essential oil to use in your diffuser, your inhaler, or topically (diluted), it is a pure essential oil and can be used as such. With all essential oils:
Keep away from children.
Oral Safety is only given because many people have been told to take oils internally. Because several people look to us for safety advice, we feel obligated to offer those safety statements, although we do not believe anyone should be ingesting essential oils without being guided by an expert. Experts will take your medical history into account before they suggest oils for you to ingest, diffuse, or use topically.
