At Lambert Wellness in Bonita Springs, Mary Lambert, Doctor of Oriental Medicine and acupuncture, talks to her patients about why herbs can be a great addition to acupuncture care and how acupuncture can be even more effective when it’s paired with herbal support. “This approach is helpful because of its personalized nature. Herbal formulas can be selected to support specific needs, whether it’s easing stress, improving digestion, supporting energy, or encouraging a deeper sense of balance,” says Dr. Lambert.

A Tradition Rooted in Thousands of Years

“Acupuncture and herbal medicine form the foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a practice developed over 2,000 years ago. This ancient wisdom has withstood the test of time because it views the body as an integrated whole, a system where physical, emotional, and environmental factors are deeply interconnected,” advises Dr. Lambert.
