Zenya | Essence of Nature

-

The Functional Logic of Spatial Atmosphere System

Zenya exists based on a clear scientific insight: prolonged urban living creates a sensory deficit. By severing our direct contact with natural complexity, we disrupt the internal equilibrium required for rational operation.

-

Zenya essential oils are used through diffusion, allowing scent to gently shape the atmosphere of a space.

If this is your first time, follow these simple steps.

Step 1 — Choose the right diffuser

Different diffusers create different types of presence. Choose based on how much space you want to scent and how noticeable you want the aroma to be.

• Nebulizer
  Creates the most immediate and expressive scent.
  Best for quickly changing the mood of a room.

• Water Diffuser
  Soft and even.
  Ideal for longer sessions and everyday use.

• Electric Heat Diffuser
  Quiet and subtle.
  Suitable for focused work or overnight background scenting.

• Candle Burner
  Slow and atmospheric.
  Adds both scent and soft light for reflective moments.

• Aroma Stone / Diffuser Wood
  Passive and personal.
  Designed for small areas or close-range use.

Step 2 — Add a small amount of oil

Start with a small amount.
Zenya scents are meant to be present, not overwhelming.

If you are unsure, less is always enough.

Step 3 — Diffuse in short sessions

Allow the scent to fill the space for a short period, then pause.
Continuous diffusion is not necessary—clarity often comes from restraint.

Step 4 — Adjust intuitively

If the aroma feels too strong, reduce the amount or shorten the time.
If it feels too light, add a small amount and reassess.

There is no fixed rule—only what feels right for the space.

Step 5 — Let scent stay in the background

Zenya oils work best when they support the environment quietly.
They should never compete for attention.

Over time, you will develop a natural sense of how much scent a space needs.

Yes, but only if you follow the "Three Pillars" rule:

1. Low Concentration
2. Ventilation
3. Exit Access.

-

Pets have a sense of smell thousands of times more sensitive than humans, and their livers process compounds differently.

• Low Concentration: Use fewer drops than you would for humans (cut the dosage by half).

• Ventilation: Ensure the room is well-ventilated; never diffuse in a small, closed space.

• Exit Access: Always leave the door open so your pet can leave the room if the scent becomes overwhelming or irritating to them.

🐈 For Cat Owners: 

Cats are particularly vulnerable because their livers lack the enzymes (specifically glucuronyl transferase) to break down certain compounds. Avoid:

• Citrus Family: Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, and Orange.

• Strong Medicated Oils: Tea Tree (Melaleuca), Peppermint, and Eucalyptus.

• Potent Spices: Cinnamon and Oregano.

🐕 For Dog Owners: 

While dogs are slightly hardier than cats, their sensitive respiratory systems and skin can react badly to:

• The Big Three: Tea Tree, Cinnamon, and Clove.

• Strong Herbals: Thyme and Wintergreen.

🔬 The Chemical Red Flags

When reading the labels of your blends, keep an eye out for these two chemical groups that are generally high-risk for all pets:

• Phenols: Often found in spicy or herbal oils; these can cause severe liver stress in cats.

• Ketones: Can impact the central nervous system if used in high concentrations around animals.

The Universal Red List for Shared Environments

If a space is occupied by an infant, a cat, or a dog, certain essential oils must be strictly prohibited. These groups are highly vulnerable due to their underdeveloped respiratory systems (infants), unique liver chemistry (cats), and extreme olfactory sensitivity (dogs).

-

Essential Oils to Strictly Avoid:

-

1. High-Menthol and Cooling Oils Peppermint, Wintergreen, and Spearmint should be completely avoided. In infants, particularly those under 2 years old, the high menthol content can trigger a reflex that leads to respiratory depression or even apnea (arrested breathing). For pets, these oils act as neurotoxins that can cause tremors and disorientation.

-

2. Strong Medicated and Antibacterial Oils Tea Tree (Melaleuca) and Eucalyptus are among the most common causes of pet poisoning. While humans use them for disinfection, they are extremely harsh on an infant’s mucous membranes and can cause acute lethargy or loss of muscle control in cats and dogs.

-

3. Phenol-Rich Spicy Oils Cinnamon, Clove, and Oregano are strictly contraindicated. Cats lack a specific liver enzyme (glucuronyl transferase) required to break down phenols. Exposure to these oils can lead to rapid, irreversible liver failure in felines and severe respiratory distress in infants and dogs.

-

4. Intense Herbals and Stimulants Thyme, Rosemary, and Sage contain compounds that can lower the seizure threshold in sensitive dogs and trigger allergic or asthmatic reactions in small children. These are far too potent for shared public or residential spaces.

-

5. Citrus Oils (Specifically for Feline Safety) Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, and Orange contain d-limonene. While refreshing to humans, this compound is toxic to cats when inhaled or absorbed through the skin, leading to chronic metabolic stress.

Why Safety Matters in Shared and Commercial Spaces

When managing a pet-friendly or baby-friendly environment, "natural" does not mean "safe." Unlike adults, infants and animals cannot communicate when a scent is causing them physical pain or dizziness. Furthermore, essential oil micro-droplets from diffusers eventually settle on floors and surfaces. This creates a secondary danger of ingestion for crawling babies and for pets who groom their fur.

Safe Buying Strategy

Always steer clear of "Immunity Boost," "Clear Breathing," or "Muscle Relief" blends, as these almost always contain Eucalyptus, Clove, or Peppermint. If fragrance is necessary, strictly limit your choices to highly diluted True Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) or Roman Chamomile, and always ensure the space is well-ventilated with an easy "exit path" for pets.
