Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, considered practically the signs representing the subjective symptoms of the patient only. One among the conceptual elements that distinguished between both approaches was the role attributed to the doctor, as either servant or minister of the healing power of nature, which led clinical investigation to the notions of individual disease and internal truth
