Knot II Bragg Farm
Products Guide


From the wilds of the North country in Aroostook County, Maine, I am delighted to introduce you to some of nature's oldest blessings and to help you understand that nature holds us all gently in the palm of her hand.

I am a founding member of the Aroostook County Herb Association, and a 50 plus years as a practicing herbalist. I am pleased to share with you some of my family's herbal traditions.

Please use discretion and have the wisdom to know that not every formula works for everybody. Although my family uses all the formulas and I teach the making of them, you must consult a licensed practitioner if you have a problem.

This catalog is not designed to diagnose, treat, or prescribe in any way. The Knot II Bragg Farm or myself personally will not be responsible for your experience in using them. This catalog is meant to be a pleasant introduction to the power and beauty of the natural world around us. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer and thank you for allowing me into your life circle.

Sincerely,

1-OLD Old Log Driver's Arthritic Formula This original Northern Maine formula was developed in 1859 by a female family doctor. Dr Sarah used the best known medical knowledge of her time. She also observed what the native people were using for pain killing formula that has stood the test of time here at the Knot II Bragg Farm. For six generations we have used this traditional formula for arthritic pain, pulled/torn/sore muscles, ghost pains, stiff neck and tennis elbow. We find it can be used anywhere except the eyes or the private parts. Dosage: Three times a day for the first week, two times a day the second week and then only as needed. Rub it right where it hurts. $25.00

We here at the Knot II Bragg would love to claim this for our own, but comfreys useful benefits have been recorded for 5000 years.
