If I recall, catnip is a type of mint. It wouldn't be unreasonable for other cultures or areas to call it "catmint".

I do know I still love playing with it, though.

so, being an cat person and a herbal person, i did a little research (ok, so i just googled 'catmint') anyhow, according to botanical.com, it is a differnt plant from catnip, it "bears a certain resemblance to that of both Mint and Pennyroyal" and apparantly has a similar effect on cats to catnip.

Catmint tea is also supposed to be very helpful for fevers, and relieving headaches.
