The traditional sharply-scented eucalyptus you are probably familiar with, best known for its respiratory effects. Eucalyptus fights viruses and bacteria, while easing congestion. It also eases muscle and joint aches and pains. Because this specimen is unrectified, it has a lower level of 1.8 Cineole (often called Eucalyptol) and may not be quite as sharply scented as you are accustomed to.
Eucalyptus globulus stimulates circulation, increasing the flow of blood to affected areas. Eucalyptus can be mentally stimulating and may help increase concentration.
As far as blending goes, Eucalyptus is going to dominate any blend it’s used in, so it should be blended with essentials that contribute to the effect you want to achieve. Frankincense compliments its respiratory effects. Bergamot, blended with Eucalyptus, can reduce the discomfort of cold sores, herpes outbreaks, and shingles. The combination is reputed to be effective against that specific virus. (But look up Ravensara; in my experience and based on the feedback we receive, Ravensara in a base of Calophyllum is THE specific for shingles!)
