Catnip oil( Nepetalactone Oil ) is a product derived from catnip, Nepeta cataria , through steam distillation . One of the more common applications of oil of this type is to function as an Herbal insect repellent. Along with the ability to repel mosquitoes , it is also used as a home remedy for a number of minor ailments. The oil is usually available in health food shops and other venues that sell herbal products.
The origin of catnip oil is unknown, although this mint plant has been grown in parts of Europe for centuries. By the time that this plant was introduced to what is now the United States during the 18th century, its oil was already in common use. Catnip leaves can be crushed to release the oil and allow the liquid to be collected for use.
Pest control is easily the most immediately recognized use of catnip oil. By applying a thin coating to the skin, the oil will effectively repel flies and mosquitoes. There is some anecdotal evidence that the essential oils found in catnip help to mask the scent emanating from the skin that attracts the attention of the pests and deters them from approaching the individual.
