Desert Quandong (Santalum acuminatum)
Episode 108
Tuesday, 21 April, 2026
In this episode, we will explore another interesting herb of the world from Australia and Aboriginal medicine: Desert Quandong or Santalum acuminatum helpful for pain relief. We are going to do our usual deep dive into this herb and find out if there is any evidence or concerns. And, as usual, we will be adding something a little different…We will be discussing GLP-1 receptor agonists and how Chinese medicine may affect them.  Each episode of the podcast will go into great depth about a single herb or formula. Besides covering the basics of herbology including category, and functions, we will explore the history, quality, science, pharmacology, evidence, and any potential interactions of each herb or formula. Please join us on another trek into the continent of Australia as we explore Desert Quandong or Santalum acuminatum!
