Extraordinary plant resources.

Herb of the Month: Pineapple weed --I thought this plant was chamomile when I was young, and my mom and I would collect the little lovely smelling flower heads for "chamomile" tea. This is a close cousin of chamomile, and has much of the same herbal properties, like a relaxing and calming effect. I have heard the herbalist Matthew Wood say that chamomile is for "babies of all ages" and I believe that pineapple weed can be used the same way, as well as for indigestion. It is also just a wonderful general tea.
