What is Subjective Symptoms ?

Definition :- 

Subjective symptoms are symptoms which are felt by the patient himself, hence can only be narrated by him.

Example :-

The different types of sensations, desire and aversions, dreams and modalities etc. come under this class.

Importance :- 

Subjective symptoms are of highest importance in homoeopathy due to the following reasons -

(a) The orthodox school of medicine even today is interested little in subjective symptoms. But in homoeopathy subjective symptoms took the central role in the study of a case. As expression of the interior states of the organism and particularly of the mental and emotional state, they take the highest rank. Nothing can supersede them.They enable the physician to view disease from the standpoint of the patient.

(b) They represent the earliest deviation from health.

(c) They help clearly in individualizing the case which is very much essential in selecting the remedy homoeopathically (i.e. in therapeutic diagnosis.)
