Santalum acuminatum
Australian semi-parasitic tree whose fruits and seeds are used by Aboriginal Australians as food medicine for skin conditions and joints.
Santalum acuminatum (Quandong) is an Australian semi-parasitic tree whose fruits and seeds have traditional use as food medicine for skin conditions and joint pain. Modern research indicates antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities attributed to flavonoids, polyphenols, and fatty acids. The fruit and seed oil are used topically and internally, while leaves contain cyanogenic glycosides and are avoided.
Quandong's anti-inflammatory effects are mediated by inhibition of COX-2 and LOX pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Its antioxidant activity stems from polyphenols scavenging free radicals and upregulating endogenous antioxidant enzymes. Antimicrobial action against skin pathogens involves disruption of bacterial cell membranes by fatty acids and tannins. Wound healing is promoted through enhanced fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition.
