About Tinesha
Tinesha Lee, BSHA, Herbalist, is the owner of Tumaas Herbal Kare, an online herbal business she launched in 2025. The company offers raw, plant-based products, including Batana hair oil butter along with an herbal hair rinse sourced from Honduras to support hair growth and a gastrointestinal blend formulated to ease constipation, IBS, and bloating. A women’s wellness blend addressing PCOS, infertility, cramping, and menopause is planned for release soon. Lee’s path into herbalism began at home, when she created a remedy of orange juice and garlic that relieved her son’s asthma symptoms within two days without steroids. That experience sparked a commitment to natural healing, which she deepened through a mentorship with Herbal Renaissance. Her entrepreneurial approach is shaped by her faith, her habit of seeking guidance through prayer, and her belief that progress does not require perfection. Lee brings a strong healthcare background to her business. She began her career in 2015 working hands on with biologic medications. She was promoted and then became a Account manger servicing multiple doctors offices with navigating and being the middle man with insurance companies fighting for patients to receive the meds at a lower cost rates. She was able to take her knowledge from the pharmaceutical industry and switch lanes by taking a herbalism/wellness approach. She earned her degree in health administration from Southern New Hampshire University in 2024.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Tinesha
01What do you attribute your success to?
My success began with my son’s health journey. He suffered from asthma, and we were frequently in the hospital. After finding recipes online, I developed a remedy of orange juice and garlic that helped him within two days without the use of steroids. That experience led me to herbalism and inspired me to start my company.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice I received is that everything will not be perfect. You have to move forward, accept that you will stumble along the way, take advantage of the opportunities in front of you, and act now.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Pray about it first, and fast as you feel led. Keep going, because you will not know everything, but you can find the answers. Keep your ears open, use discernment, and always be ready to learn.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
When I started my business, my biggest challenge was wanting everything to be perfect. I have since learned to move forward without perfection and to trust God with the timing. When He says go, I go.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
I always keep Christ first. Without Him, we truly have nothing, because He has created a path for us to follow. I believe we must walk that path and be proactive in doing so.

"Beyond the Prescription: How Healthcare Administration Led Me to Herbalism and Holistic Wellness"
Bridging Healthcare Education and Herbal Wellness Through Knowledge and Empowerment
My family has experienced various health challenges throughout generations, which led me to further investigate holistic approaches to wellness and explore natural ways to support the body's healing process. My educational background in Healthcare Administration, along with my professional experience in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, further strengthened that interest. I developed a deeper understanding of disease management, patient care, healthcare systems, medications, and the importance of research in making informed healthcare decisions.
I became increasingly interested in understanding how nutrition, plant-based living, medicinal herbs, and traditional remedies have been used throughout generations to support the body's health.
My degree provided me with the foundation to approach this research from an analytical and educational perspective. Rather than simply following trends, I began researching individual herbs, their historical uses, nutritional properties, potential benefits, and available scientific evidence. I also began exploring herbal formulations, plant-based recipes, and natural wellness practices that may complement conventional healthcare approaches.
This journey inspired me to reconnect with traditional knowledge passed down through generations while also recognizing the importance of evidence-based research. I started developing recipes, herbal tea blends, and wellness products centered around supporting overall health, digestion, nutrition, and healthy lifestyle habits.
Today, I bring together my background in healthcare administration, my experience navigating the pharmaceutical world, and my passion for herbal education through my brand, Tumaas Herbal Kare. My mission is to educate and empower others to become more informed about their health, understand the options available to them, and have meaningful conversations with healthcare professionals about their wellness journeys.
I believe there is value in understanding both modern medicine and traditional herbal practices. My goal is not to discourage conventional medical treatment but to help bridge the gap between healthcare education and natural wellness.
What began as a personal journey of research and rediscovery has grown into a passion for educating others, sharing knowledge, and encouraging families to become more intentional about what they put into their bodies.
My degree taught me how to navigate healthcare. My journey into herbalism taught me to look at wellness from a broader perspective. Today, I use both experiences to inspire others to become advocates for their own health.
