Pineapple Weed - Matricaria discoidea

The best student is always the one who loves to learn. The specialty of Pineapple Weed is its indestructibility. It grows on dirt roads, where it is run over by tractors every day. It does not complain, but it simply gets up again.

This reminds of the way children learn to walk. They stumble, they fall, they rise again. No one can stop them. Acting is learning. With every rise and every fall new synapses are created that store the learned. Learning means gaining access to all that you want to learn, integrate, process, store and recall the knowledge and, above all, understand.

This inconspicuous flower has a special relationship with children, it helps to learn like children do: by imitation, play and fascination, by focusing on the fascinating objects and tirelessness of their curiosity. And apparently the nervous system learns the way, too. Whenever it comes to acquiring new knowledge and skills - be it swimming, reading, mathematics, dance and computer work - Pineapple Weed changes the inner self-image so that you see yourself apply the new skills quite naturally.
