CBD & Your Health

There’s been a buzz lately around CBD (Cannabidiol, derived from the flowers and leaves of the hemp plant) and its purported health benefits. Did you know it’s available in Hong Kong?

KAMA is a new HK-based company offering CBD products that are completely legal, and won’t give you any “high” associated with cannabis. We speak with Kate and Matt, who started the company after their own positive experience with CBD.

How did KAMA start?

We gave CBD a go ourselves and noticed some incredible benefits. These included getting a solid night’s sleep without feeling groggy in the morning, being more positive and less anxious, with less pain and a far better focus during the day; a clarity of sorts.

We thought, why aren’t more people taking CBD? We then decided to create our own brand in Hong Kong – known to be a very stressful city – where it could help with depression and anxiety without the negative side effects from pharmaceutical medicine.

Give us an overview of CBD: How long has it been around?

A very long time! The use of cannabis-derived medicine is attributed to an early Chinese emperor, to help with memory loss and malaria; and it’s believed that Queen Victoria may have used it to ease menstrual cramps.
