„Sal tree resin is known as sal dammar or Indian dammar, ṛla in Sanskrit. It is used as an astringent in Ayurvedic medicine, burned as incense in Hindu ceremonies, and used to caulk boats and ships. Sal seeds and fruit are a source of lamp oil and vegetable fat. The seed oil is extracted from the seeds and used as cooking oil after refining.“ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorea_robusta

Oil obtained by the dry distillation of the resin is commonly known as Chua oil. Main volatile components of the oil are sesquiterpenes and oxygenated sesquiterpenes (together ~76%) like germacrene-D (29.5%), α-copaene (16.3%), globulol (10.2%), δ-elemene (8.5%), and β-caryophyllene (5.0%).
