Before the rise of big pharmaceutical companies, cannabidiol (CBD) and other
hemp-derived compounds were widely used as natural remedies for various ailments.
For centuries, hemp was celebrated for its therapeutic properties, featured in traditional medicine practices across cultures for pain relief, stress reduction, and better sleep.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, CBD-rich cannabis tinctures were a staple in
apothecaries and medical treatments. However, with the advent of synthetic drugs and
regulatory changes, these natural solutions were overshadowed, paving the way for the pharmaceutical industry's dominance.

Now, CBD is making a powerful comeback as people rediscover its potential to support wellness naturally.

This shift away from natural remedies marked a turning point in how people approached health and wellness. Yet, as the limitations of synthetic solutions have become more apparent, many are returning to the wisdom of nature, seeking alternatives that align with a holistic, sustainable lifestyle. CBD, once sidelined, is now recognized for its powerful potential to restore balance and support well-being—an ethos we embrace wholeheartedly at Calmao.

Born from our own struggles, we created Calmao to redefine the CBD experience. Frustrated by lackluster options, we built a brand rooted in quality, sustainability, and thoughtful design. With origins in Costa Rica and London, we craft 100% hemp-derived products using organic, sustainably farmed hemp—free of PG and VG.
