Green Tomato Pickle recipe

10/20/2025

Happy Autumn! Did you know that Acupuncture calms the nervous system and harmonizes body and mind?! We also like to do this by spending time in the garden. We have a Sicilian green tomato pickle recipe that is useful and delicious for all the green tomatoes that did not have a chance to ripen yet. Ask us about it next time you are in!

We are excited to offer SATURDAY Acupuncture and EVENING shifts with the talented Dr. Elisa Baum!
Book with her now: http://www.PortlandHealingArts.com

Elisa holds a doctoral degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. She was introduced to Qigong and Daoist philosophy at a young age growing up in the Catskill Mountains of Woodstock, NY, where she was instilled with immense respect for the natural world. When she began to formally study Chinese medicine, she found that her longtime fascination with understanding patterns was given a fascinating new framework. This juxtaposed with her own intuitive nature, offered an incredible lens to view the nuances and interconnectedness of the many layers that make up our entire being.

Elisa has sincere compassion for those feeling lost or alone within the difficulties of their body & seeks to bolster one’s sense of empowerment. She has a special interest in mental health, as well as conditions that are difficult to understand. In addition to her love for acupuncture and herbalism, she is also certified in craniosacral therapy. She enjoys incorporating this as well as tuning forks, cupping, gua sha & Daoist face reading into her treatments.

Autumn herb of the month: Elderberry!
We grow the local native Pacific Northwest variety: Sambucus cerulea.
The berries have a bluish color.
Our tree is still producing the berries and we are currently turning them into medicine! This tree has grown to over 15 feet tall in a short time and is very easy to grow and maintain! We used to wild harvest in the woods, and now we can harvest in our very own backyard. The flower and Berry are both used in Sicilian culinary and local medicinal ways.
Ask us more the next time you are in!
