Rose: balances, grounds, stabilises and calms. Vetiver: is grounding, soothing and calms irritability.
Peppermint: is great for headaches and nausea. So, switching your fragrances can help you close the door on work or difficult situations and establish a more relaxing environment. Melt uses many different essential oils to create their fragrances, which establishes that all-important ambience for home and work. We have a peaceful Chandlery and perfumery where you can while away an hour selecting your perfect fragrance, glass of wine in hand. We operate a ‘no rush, no push’ welcome for customers and are always delighted to talk fragrance should you wish.
Rightly known for changing our mood and creating ambience, fragrance is far more than a quick spritz on the wrists, and we now understand the benefits of using it in the workplace and home. Studies prove that fragrance influences how we perceive and feel about an activity or place.
emotion, productivity – and to help reduce stress and tension. Also, knowing how different oils work means we can put them to better use so, we can differentiate between work, social and relaxation areas using fragrance. Essential oils are well researched and information is readily available and it’s worth taking the time to understand their benefits (and possible negatives).
Here’s a few to get you started:
Lavender: is seriously versatile but understanding that it promotes restful sleep and relaxation means you know to choose wisely where to use it – not so good for post lunch – but a definite contender for the end of the day. Note – lavender can help soothe hyperactive stress but if there’s depression showing itself as sleepiness and apathy, then lavender is NOT the oil to use. Instead try rose for balance or citrus for uplift.
Firstly, we smell with our brains and not with our nose. When inhaling fragrance, compounds enter the olfactory system via the nasal passage and from there directly impact the limbic system – the area of the brain dealing with emotions, memory and mood.
Understanding this means we can choose fragrance to create positive changes to mood,
Rose Geranium: balances emotions, calms and uplifts, so great for interviews and anyone who ‘yo-yos’ mood-wise – hormonal shifts anyone?
Grapefruit and sharp Citrus: is refreshing, antiseptic, stimulating – a perfect start to the day.
Petitgrain: is uplifting, anti-inflammatory and good for exhaustion.
To finish – here are a few fun scented snippets!
We have a smell print (like it or not) which is as unique as a fingerprint and only ever the same in identical twins.
It takes us half a second to respond to smell, compared with a full second to respond to pain. Perfumers do not have ‘better noses’ – they just know how to use them.
Humans have 350 functional olfactory receptor genes – mice have 1300!
Ambergris is one of the most prized and valuable raw materials in perfumery. It is also produced from the vomit of Sperm whales –who discovered that then? n

We are proud to announce the opening of Ribble Valley’s brand new independent veterinary practice. Bowland Vets was created out of a desire to put pets back at the centre of veterinary care- right where they should be!
It started out as an idea between two friends with a desire to do things differently. After a combined 32 years in practice, we wanted to get away from the corporate world of veterinary care and open a veterinary practice as it should be, owned by vets. Our vision was simple, a practice where everybody feels welcome and the animal is always put first, no matter what.
After a few tears, a lot of stress and many sleepless nights our dream became reality, and Bowland Vets was born. We believe that your pet deserves to have access to Veterinary care that is owned by vets who have their best interests at heart. We are a small experienced team who are passionate about providing high quality care in a warm, friendly environment; and proud to be there for you and your pet.
We can’t wait to get to know you and care for your beloved pets.
We look forward to welcoming you to our practice.

“Excellent job done on a roof repair by Lee and his workers. So good in fact that we have asked him to replace the double garage roof. Would not hesitate to recommend him.”
- John HoldenDr Khurrum Hussain is one of just five periodontal specialists in the North West – and he has chosen Ribble Valley based Renovo Dental as his referral clinic.

Seeking specialist dental treatment, patients throughout the UK travel to the new, Ribble Valley-based Renovo Dental, where there is a top team of dental specialists and general practitioners working with some of the very latest state-of-the-art technology.
As part of the team, Dr Khurrum Hussain is one of just 350 periodontal specialists working in the UK – 220 of those being registered in and around central London.
“Working as part of a multi-skilled team with the same passion really is a dream come true. It takes the planning and patient treatment quality to a whole new level,” says Dr Hussain, who completed his training in periodontology at the globally-renowned Eastman Dental Institute at University College London.
“The institute accepts just four people each year, one from the UK one from Europe and the other two internationally. It was an offer I couldn’t refuse,” he explains.
Graduating from the institute in 2016, Khurrum returned to his roots in the North West, teaching periodontology to post-graduates at Manchester University and using his skillset working privately for BUPA.
As a periodontal specialist, he deals with gum disease and the soft tissue surrounding the palate, degenerating bone issues and failing implants.
He is specially trained in the placement, maintenance and repair of dental implants.
“My ethos is not just to treat patients with periodontal challenges, but I aim to work together to educate and motivate them and I have had excellent results with this approach.
“At Renovo we don’t rush in, we view everything in a calculated way. We offer the latest techniques for diagnosing and treating periodontal disease and are also trained in performing cosmetic periodontal procedures.
“Our gums are very much part of our smile
and they are the foundations on which we work. Our aim is to get gum tissue and bones strong and healthy before we carry out any further work.”
Poorly managed diabetes, smoking or inherited genetics can lead to susceptibility to advanced gum disease – and at Renovo Dental, Khurrum can advise on the best techniques and treatment to overcome the problem.
Treatment of advanced gum disease may require dental surgery, such as:
To replace lost gum tissue due to recession –a small amount of tissue from the roof of the mouth or using tissue from another donor

source and attaching it to the affected site can help reduce further gum recession, cover exposed roots and give your teeth an improved aesthetic. (As illustrated by the gum graft procedure carried out by Dr Khurrum Hussain in the clinical images above).
This procedure is performed when periodontitis has destroyed the bone surrounding your tooth root. The graft may be composed of small fragments of your own bone, or the bone may be synthetic or donated. The bone graft helps prevent tooth loss by holding your tooth in place. It also serves as a platform for the regrowth of natural bone.
special gel to a diseased tooth root. This gel contains the same proteins found in developing tooth enamel and stimulates the growth of healthy bone and tissue.
“There is often a general lack of awareness of what can be done in terms of the latest techniques, treatments and technology. Too often patients are told that the treatment for gum disease and bone loss is not possible. Yes, it is more complex, impossible it is not. That depends on the skillset of the team carrying out the treatment,” explains Dr Khurrum.
This allows the regrowth of bone that was destroyed by bacteria. In one approach, a special piece of biocompatible fabric is placed between existing bone and your tooth. The material prevents unwanted tissue from entering the healing area, allowing bone to grow back instead.
Another technique involves applying a
As a brand new clinic, Renovo has invested in all the latest digital technology dentistry has to offer, including a state-of-the-art CT scanner which allows the team to plan and perform very precise implant surgery. This CT-guided surgery for implants is accurate, more safe and comfortable and results in faster healing.
Since launching Renovo Dental, the team’s reputation has spread through word of mouth: “We are very fortunate in what we do and what we have here, and we are all passionate and very dedicated. Renovo is much bigger than a group of individuals – it is all about our patients, changing mindsets and attitudes and giving them support and confidence by providing outstanding dentistry.” n
