"Prior to seeing Charmaine for my worsening menopause symptoms, my life was beginning to be ruled by hot flushes, night sweats and even severe migraines which I had never previously experienced.
Suggestions from my GP worked for a short time, but now, after using a combination of bush flowers, traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, my life has takes a wonderful turn for the better.
Gone totally are the night sweats, hot flushes and even the headaches!!! Charmaine has made such a difference to my life I thank Charmaine for her skills and support and my husband thanks her because I am back to my old self. Yippee!!"

Brisbane Chinese Medicine
Chinese Medicine or TCM is a term covering a range of medical practices that originated in China thousands of years ago. Chinese medicine includes acupuncture, cupping, herbal medicine, dietary therapy and massage.
During your visit to Banksia Healing we will ask you a series of questions about your body and your health, feel your pulses (yes you have more than one!) and observe your tongue. This helps us understand where your body may be out of balance and recommend the best treatments to bring you back into health.
I have been feeling 1000% better since Tuesday. Straight away I have been sleeping through the night for the first time in 3 weeks and just feel fantastic."

Acupuncture & Cupping
Acupuncture is a form of Chinese medicine and helps restore balance and flow throughout the body. It is recognised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as being a very effective treatment for a wide range of medical conditions.
The human body has circuits throughout called meridians. These meridians have over 500 acupuncture points which can sometimes be blocked or damaged from accidents, lifestyle or heredity which can cause pain. To keep these meridians flowing and free from pain, acupuncture is a marvelous healing tool to let the energy/Qi flow freely within your body.
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese technique of inserting very fine needles into these specific parts of the body to relieve pain or bring healing. We may also apply moxa (also called moxibustion) during your treatment if needed. Moxa is a Chinese herb stick, used to warm certain points on your body and calm your mind.
Cupping is a treatment of applying glass cups to the skin. The glass cups are heated to create a vacuum and placed on your skin's acupressure points or the source of your pain.
During cupping treatment blood flow is increased to where the cup has been placed and improves healing for your body.
Cupping reduces stress and relieves pain and is particularly useful for colds and flu, boils, lung disease, removal of toxins, paralysis and gastrointestinal conditions.
Acupuncture is useful for:
Pain relief
Assisting disease prevention
Holistic approach to illness
Linking body, mind and emotions
Common ailments including PMT, migraine, headache, menopause, muscle pain, constipation, digestive problems, sinus issues, arthritis, sporting injuries, carpal tunnel, coughs and colds, frozen shoulder, psoriasis, dermatitis, stroke, palsy, sprains, urinary incontinence and weight loss.
Fertility & IVF treatments
I was doing fertility treatment and had heard that acupuncture could help. I really think that whatever Charmaine did helped my conceive. ... We had been trying for 18 months. I had a threatened miscarriage in the beginning and at that time had acupuncture once a week until the bleeding stopped. Thanks Charmaine!
