Licorice (Glycyrhiza glabra) … brief information on herb (traditional & modern)… made from fresh leaf

E.g., Catnip (Nepeta cataria) belongs to the mint (Lamiaceae) family therefore possesses significant volatile oil content, incl. nepetelactone (similar to valepotriates of Valerian), which is thought to be its main constituent responsible for the altered behaviour in cats, but also a major contributor to its effects in humans.

Considered a relatively pungent and bitter herb with cooling and dry qualities, aiding to its stimulating and relaxing actions on the body tissues, especially those of the gastrointestinal and nervous systems. By these actions, catnip has the ability to dispel wind(tensive)-heat and damp(stagnant)-heat manifesting as congestion, headaches, internalised stress and colic to name a few (Holmes, 2007). Catnip is particularly useful in infants and children, especially in nervous and fretful infant or children acting out as over reactive, ‘closed down’/internalising or even mean-spirited (Wood, 2008).

Catnip poses useful in eruptive fevers in both adults and children, working by relieving tension and opening the pores of the skin to allow the heat to escape. In adults it’s also helpful in incidences of hiatal hernia, menstrual headache, cramps and colic.

  • Antipathy in Galenic medicine involved using treatments that possessed qualities opposite to those of the humor associated with the disease. For example, if a patient had a condition characterised by excessive heat, such as a fever, Galenic physicians would prescribe remedies with cooling or cold properties to counterbalance the excess heat. Similarly, if a condition was considered excessively moist, treatments with drying or astringent properties would be employed.
