Chir pine is a tall conifer native to the Himalayas, with long needles in bundles of three and thick, deeply fissured bark. It forms large forests in the lower Himalayas of India and Nepal and yields a fragrant resin that is distilled into turpentine.
In Ayurveda it is known as Sarala. The resin and wood have traditionally been used in warming oils and external preparations for joint comfort, and in fumigation for their aroma.
