Gurjum

The oleoresin obtained from the Dipterocarpus turbinatus tree is a viscous, woody and sweet smelling oil. Ayurvedic and other traditional healing systems have used it for allergic skin conditions, eczema and psoriasis. This oil is characterized by a high concentration of the sesquiterpene, alpha-gurjunene, a known agent against inflammation. A perfect grounding oil, Gurjum has an affinity to the urogenital system and the respiratory tract.  Also known as garjan, gurjan, and gurjun balsam.
