Maybe you're not familiar enough with homeopathy to know that the remedies are written up in materia medicas. These are books. Homeopaths work with repertories, which list the symptoms for each remedy by symptom and materia medicas which list the symptoms of each remedy by remedy. Other than going to the original proving manuscripts, materia medicas are the only way, and the most common and easily accessible way, of finding out about the remedies. The list of on-line books that can be read for free at this site includes a number of the most comprehensive materia medicas. That's why I recommended the site.

If the above doesn't apply, then possibly you are wanting to find out about the substance that makes up the remedy. In that case, if it is a mineral, you would need to find some type of chemical reference book, if it's a plant, then a botany book and if it's a nosode, possibly a medical text. However, none of these will give you the information on the symptoms developed and cured by the potentized remedy, i.e., the information pertaining to the substance's use as a homeopathic remedy.

I hope this answers your question more fully.
