Well, after searching my favorite homeopathic sites, I was unable to find anything about graphites. This is a rare mineral, and frankly in that it does not seem to be an ingredient, it MAY be a name brand, and who can tell what is in it. I would be afraid of trying this. That and the fact that if you really read this article, it is not suggested to handle bowel problems, but the "crusty lip" problem. I frankly do not think you will find this helpful.
