It is so named because of the peculiar behavior of cats when they get a whiff of this feline favorite. It doesn't cause such behavior in humans but, like many botanicals, it has many excellent nutritional properties. Early settlers believed Catnip would make kind people mean, and so the dried roots were fed to hangmen and executioners. - The part of this plant used for health benefits is the leaf.
