HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Catnip by Ra Herbals

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Aug 27, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: catnip, delivered in liquid form. The catnip is suspended in cane alcohol and distilled water.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Catnip product and its label doesn't state a use — see Catnip's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for catnip is not established for the uses covered in our data — amenorrhea, anxiety, tension headache, upper respiratory tract infection, indigestion (dyspepsia), and gas (flatulence) all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That doesn't mean catnip doesn't work; it means the clinical trials backing it aren't robust enough yet for us to say.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Catnip

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 0 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Catnip is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth in typical tea amounts, though human safety data are limited. The most common side effects reported are headache, nausea, vomiting, and general malaise.

Large amounts may cause stomach upset and vomiting; one case involved a toddler who became lethargic after ingesting catnip-soaked raisins. Catnip should be avoided during pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus and safety has not been established.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Catnip

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Catnip.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 248 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check before starting if you take lithium — catnip may raise your lithium levels. Also verify any CNS depressants or sedating drugs you're on, since catnip's drowsiness-causing effects could add to theirs.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Catnip is a single-ingredient liquid that appeals to people looking for herbal support, but the evidence for its effectiveness hasn't been firmly established yet. If you take lithium or any sedating medication, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it.

Pregnant people should skip it.

Organic Catnip by Ra Herbals: Common Questions

Does Organic Catnip by Ra Herbals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Catnip has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Catnip contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this while pregnant?
No, catnip should be avoided during pregnancy. It may stimulate the uterus, and safety hasn't been established. Talk with your doctor or midwife before taking any supplement while pregnant.
What are the most common side effects?
Headache, nausea, vomiting, and general malaise are the side effects reported most often. Taking too much catnip may lead to stomach upset as well.
Does catnip actually work for anxiety or sleep?
The evidence isn't strong enough yet to say catnip reliably works for anxiety, sleep trouble, or the other conditions listed. We don't have solid clinical trial data backing those uses.
Can I take this if I'm breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information on file for catnip during breastfeeding, so it's best avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before using it.
What is catnip supposed to do?
Catnip has been traditionally used for amenorrhea, anxiety, tension headache, cold symptoms, indigestion, and gas, though clinical evidence for any of these uses is limited.
