Podle koček dostala šanta také své jméno. Cataria se z latiny skutečně překládá jako kočičí. Někdy se označuje také latinským názvem catnip. Česky se jí říká také máta kočičí, kocourník, melisa nebo ožanka. Je příbuzná máta nebo marihuaně. Pochází ze Středomoří, ale v současnosti ji najdeme v přírodě celé Evropy či Severní Ameriky. Pěstuje se i jako okrasná rostlina, bez větších potíží přežije i české zimy. Foto: šanta kočičí u kocoura doma, tedy na zahradě, autor: Ondřej Musil, archiv U kocoura doma Jak pěstovat šantu?

Medicinal plants are the potential source of various secondary metabolites, which are critical for their existence and also to defend the plants from fungi, bacteria, animals and even other plants. These metabolites serve as pharmaceutics, cosmetics, nutraceutics, food additives, flavors and industrially important biochemicals. Many modern medicines are derived indirectly from medicinal plants. The current search for biologically active principles from plants has all the more enhanced the importance of medicinal plants (Middha et al. 2013; Usha et al. 2017).

Several other species – e.g. Australian bush onion ( C.bulbosus) – are eaten to a smaller extent. For some Northern Paiutes, Cyperus tubers were a mainstay food, to the extent that they were known as tövusi-dökadö ("nutsedge tuber eaters") [10] Bernal, R., Gradstein, S.R. & Celis, M.
