Question

Answer 1

Sisam or Shisham is a common tree often planted along roadsides. According to reference literatures, both Shisham and Rose wood rank amongst the finest of India's cabinet and furniture woods. Its wood is also used for bent-wood articles, skis, calico printing blocks, musical instruments etc. Not much information is available on medicinal properties and uses of Shisham in reference literatures related to different systems of medicine in India. The natives and traditional healers of Chhattisgarh are aware of its many medicinal benefits. I have written a separate article on this aspect. Shisham Ke Shurbut is prepared by using wood powder of this tree. This preparation is less popular among the common natives. The traditional healers recommend its use to the patients having blood related troubles. It is considered as promising blood purifier. Its regular use is recommended to the patients having the problem of Kodh (Leprosy). To prepare the Shurbut, the wood powder is dipped in well water over night. Next morning solution is boiled and decoction is prepared. Separately, sugar is boiled in water to prepare the Chashni (Syrup). The decoction is added in Chashni. This combination is known as Shisham Ke Shurbut. Diluted with water it is taken daily as per the recommendations of the traditional healers.

sisam (Dalbergia ) Many species of Dalbergia are important timber trees, valued for their decorative and often fragrant wood, rich in aromatic oils. The most famous of these are the rosewoods, so-named because of the smell, but several other valuable woods are yielded by the genus.

The pre-eminent rosewood appreciated in the western world is D. nigra known as Rio, Bahia, Brazilian Rosewood, Palisander de Rio Grande, or Jacarandá; heavily exploited in the past, it is now CITES-listed. The second most desired rosewood in the western world is D. latifolia known as (East) Indian Rosewood or Sonokeling. Most rosewoods are a rich brown with a good figure. Note that only a small part of all Dalbergia species yield rosewood.

The (Brazilian) Tulipwood (D. decipularis) is cream coloured with red or salmon stripes. It is most often used in crossbanding and other veneers; it should not be confused with the "tulipwood" of the American Tulip Tree Liriodendron tulipifera, used in inexpensive cabinetwork.

The similarly used (but purple with darker stripes), and also Brazilian, Kingwood is yielded by D. cearensis. Both are smallish trees, to 10m. Another notable timber is Cocobolo, mainly from D. retusa, a Central American timber with spectacular decorative orange red figure on freshly cut surfaces which quickly fades in air to more subdued tones and hues.

The Indian souvenir trade sells objects made of Dalbergia sissoo (sometimes stained purple) as if they were rosewood. The wood of some species can be used for toolhandles, at best.[1]

African Blackwood (D. melanoxylon) is an intensely black wood in demand for making woodwind musical instruments.

Dalbergia species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Bucculatrix mendax which feeds exclusively on Dalbergia sissoo.

The Dalbergia species are notorious for causing allergic reactions due the presence of sensitizing quinones in the wood.
