Homeopathic remedies can be used to deal with a variety of illnesses, including travel sickness, diarrhea, influenza and insomnia. Cutting an onion often causes eyes to tear up.

It can also be used to relieve babies’ colic or teething pain.

Who can use Homeopathy?
Medication is individualised, as no two people are alike, and works in conjunction with conventional therapies. Homeopathy can be used to help babies, adults, the elderly, animals, terminally ill patients and chronic conditions. How does Homeopathy work?
Homeopathy works on three basic principles:
1. A therapies, which in large doses produces the symptoms of a disease, will in a small doses cure a disease with similar symptoms. By extreme dilution, a therapies curative properties are enhanced and all the poisonous side effects are lost. Homeopathic therapies are prescribed by the study of the whole individual and according to your basic temperament.
2. Homeopathy gently stimulates the body's natural healing powers to restore the body to health gently and effectively.
3.If you peel an onion, you usually cry and if you drink too much coffee, you usually don't sleep. Remedies made from onion (Allium Cepa) are used to deal with conditions where there is excessive lacrymation, like hay fever and colds. A remedy made from coffee is used to heal things like sleeplessness or agitation.
History of Homeopathy
Homeopathy was founded by Samuel Hahnemann (1775-1843) as a viable alternative to conventional therapies. Hahnemann, a medical doctor, supplemented his income by translating medical texts for clients.
It was on such an occasion he became aware of the first principle of Homeopathy. He was translating the 'Materia Medica' (a compendium of the actions of therapeutic agents) written by Professor Cullen of London University. Cullen devoted some 20 pages of the book to the therapeutic indications of Peruvian Bark (later known as Quinine), attributing its success in healing malaria to the fact that it was bitter.
Hahnemann found this idea unacceptable, and took some doses of Peruvian Bark himself. What happened was he developed the symptoms of malaria. When he stopped taking the therapies and became himself again. Intrigued, he tried it again and he developed the symptoms of malaria again. This led him to the observation that a substance that produces symptoms in a healthy person cures the same symptoms in a sick person.
What can I expect during a consultation with a Homeopath?
The Homeopath will take your case and study the information obtained, to match your symptoms to a remedy.
The Homeopath will either give you a remedy straight away or post you the remedy within a few days of your consultation. Sometimes remedies will need to be sent for.
The remedy helps your body to heal itself. It is the catalyst of a healing reaction. In many cases, you may only be given one dose to take.
At the homeopathic clinic, you will be listened to and treated as a unique individual. The Homeopath will want to find out about you from baby to adulthood, including questions to provide information on the problem, how it feels, what makes it flare up, when it first occurred, and other factors that may have contributed to the problem.
The Homeopath will encourage you to talk about any physical, mental and emotional issues that impact on your life. Peculiar or odd symptoms that you often don’t talk about can be important clues to finding the right remedy for you.

Reviews From Happy Clients
My husband has noticed vast improvements since I began working with Dr Preet. I don’t feel overwhelmed by emotion; yet I have not lost my sensitivity. Most of the time I feel more grounded, which has made connection to others easier and my life overall easier.
Carol Kara Our family has traversed some difficult times however we have arrived at a place of love, trust and happiness. Thanks Dr Preet for your help in the past and for continuing to be one of my and our family’s most important people.
Dr. Barbara M I am still a patient of Dr Preet's and I have the deepest respect for, and loyalty to him. He is a wonderfully warm, intelligent, funny man who has such wisdom, such knowledge running through his veins. His homeopathic expertise has led not only to finding the correct homeopathic remedy but also managing the frequency of repetition and potency selection.
Ms. Susan K. I was also impressed with Dr Preet's professionalism and care for his patients. Whenever I returned for a follow-up visit, he was prepared, remembered the details of my complaints, persisted in an optimistic spirit that classical homeopathy could, should and would help me.
Antoinette S. In terms of Dr Preet as a family homeopath, I can only say I am very grateful how he has helped in healing me over the last 3 years. The difference it has made has been profound, not only physically but on my whole attitude towards life.
Silvana J. He has the wisdom and discipline not to sway it but to foster it. He is there for the appointments, phone calls and remedies. The sum of this experience is that she has led me to health. I am thankful to him, to the many others who have helped me, and to God.
Cindy K. In the process Dr Preet has been supportive and nurturing, knowledgeable and understanding. He is strong and firm when it is needed ... able to deliver the “shock” of honestly speaking the truth. He is also very gentle and subtle.
Mahi S. 
Time and time again homeopathic remedies have helped me through hot flashes, mood swings and headaches, all associated with perimenopause. I am most grateful to have been led to Dr Preet and to this most "civilized" form of process. My wish is for more people to experience the power of homeopathy.
