So, here's my second website I 'd appreciate some constructive criticism. I'd like to make an additional comment about sound: at first I had sound only when a user clicked on "home" button. BUt my client liked it so much that she asked me to put it on other buttons too. I'm sure some of you will find it annoying; sorry about that. Thanks.

I really like it... and thanks for the warning about the sounds
One thing to point out... I flicked between all the pages and it appears they are all slighty a few pixels different.
Example:
On the About Me page... I click on the What is Homeopathy page and notice the light brown border below "Disclaimer" is a pixel or two smaller than the same border (now below "Acute vs Conditional").
I think it's the "Services" and "What is Homeopathy" pages that are at fault... since the other top level pages all match neatly.
Apart from that... nice job! I used MacOSX and Safari v1.3 for my visit.
Cheers,
Jeff
PS: I noticed some commented out CDATA tags in the view source around the sound code. Just thought you should know.

Like the look!
Seems to be a bit slow loading even on ADSL, so I ran a speed report from which shows some chunky sized CSS images being loaded. You may be able to optimise the images and speed the download (currently around 300K)
There appears to be a spelling error on - in the caption halfway down you have housmaid for housemaid.
There may also be a confusion in the fourth paragraph on that page between 'concussion' and 'contusion'

Nice look, though a tiny bit more contrast between the text and the brown background (after you've scrolled past the lighter coloured stuff at the top) might be good.
A few minor comments:
You need more [tt]alt[/tt] attributes. Try viewing the front page with images switched off - the title of the site, Sonam's name, address and phone numbers all disappear. If you're going to use images-as-text, put the actual text in [tt]alt[/tt] attributes for those that need them.
When you mouse over the email address on the front page, the text jumps down and right a few pixels. Is this deliberate? It doesn't look it.
Still on the front page, have those testemonial people given permission for their full names to be used on the site? Even if they have, I suggest you anonymise them a little - Suzanne Z, Ulrike S, etc. - otherwise it looks a little careless of her clients' confidentialty.
I was about to criticise you for not making the URLs you mention on your pages into links, but on pointing my mouse at them I find that they are. So I'll criticise you for that! Add some always-on visual cue that a bit of text is a link (as you have done on the recommended reading page) - I don't want to have to wave my mouse all over the page to look for them.
On the Useful Information page - "Suggestions for Boostering Immunity". "Booster" is a noun, on both sides of the Atlantic as far as I can tell. It should be "Suggestions for Boosting Immunity".

Great design. Wonderful use of otherwise drab colors. A+
