Cats love Valerian Root

Posted on Tuesday Nov 29 13:55:00 UTC 2011

Valerian is a perennial plant that grows to a height of 4 to 6 feet, and has fragrant reddish to white flowers. It is usually thought of as a human herbal medication, having been used by humans for hundreds of years for a variety of reasons including: aiding sleep, treating restlessness, anxiety or tension.

It’s popularity with cats stems from a terpenoid chemical that the root contains.  This is similar to chemicals found in catnip.  As well as cats benefiting from its relaxing and calming properties, it has also been successful in treating stress related cystitis in cats.
 
Why not buy your cat a lovely natural treat for Christmas, see our shop for valerian and other herbs for cats.
 
Try sprinkling a bit of dried Valerian root for your cat to roll in, eat or inhale. Hours of cat fun! Or try putting some in an old sock for an instant cat toy!
