Yes. I use it regularly for headaches and insomnia. It is quite effective and relaxing. The best tea is made from the leaves. The stems get died and stuffed in socks to give away as toys to all the cat owners with whom I'm friends.
If you don't care to grow your own, or run out, there is a decent tea which can be purchased from swansonsvitamins.com

Our Stella is the catnip addict in our house. Beaux is among the estimated 10% that the herb has NO effect upon. He does enjoy watching Stella go nuts on it, though.

This is the good catnip tea available from Swansons:
https://www.swansonvitamins.com/alvita-tea-catnip-tea-30-bags I believe they are a distributor, not a manufacturer. So you might do better on price from the manufacturer (Alvita). I don't know because I usually have it shipped with my regular vitamin order.
Quality catnip tea does not have a teabag tag or other fancy marketing. It is packaged and sealed fresh with teabags or straight tea.

Time to feed some catnip through the tree shredder, and then leave it passively attended via camera....

Oh, yes! He certainly was. Thank you, my dear friend.

A friend has some growing her in back yard. She says it can literally take over the entire garden if you don’t keep it trimmed - grows like a weed!

It is not addictive but it does increase sexual awareness!

Our old tiger *Zipper* would spend the whole summer sleeping in *his* catnip bed in the herb garden.

Under the right conditions it thrives, but it takes a little work to get it started. When we lived in North Dakota, we used it on a riverbank for erosion and weed control.
It thrived here in Pennsylvania for several years, but our crop nearly got wiped out totally last year because it was hot and dry. Catnip likes just a little shade and cool, relatively wet weather.
Some of the most potent catnip, however, is grown in dry climates like the Rocky Mountain valleys with just a minimum of watering.
