Catnip originated overseas in the Mediterranean and in Europe. It was first used as a part of early pharmaceutical needs of many humans and was brought to North America by early settlers. Catnip back then was called Catmint. Mint was added to the word because of the mint like aroma that this herb produced. Later throughout the centuries people began to notice that feral cats were oddly attracted to this plant. The cat was attracted to the scent. Once this wild cat smelled this herb his mind became fixated on the feeling that overcame him. As more and more cats became domesticated, cat lovers enjoyed seeing their new companions at a happy state and gave their cat catnip. As the need for catnip grew, people began to sell this and make a profit. Only in the last few decades did the concern for the health of the cats grew.
