Caroline Bass, founder of Queen Tulsi, developed this scientifically-backed herbal supplement to provide natural stress relief and mood balance. As a mom of three balancing a full-time job, Caroline struggled with anxiety, fatigue and feeling overwhelmed. She began formulating herbal blends to calm her nerves and soon shared them with friends and family, who loved the results and she realized she had something special on her hands.

College students, friends, and family members all started asking for her supplement after noticing how well it helped with everything from managing anxiety to unwinding after a long day. To make her remedy accessible, she partnered with herbal experts to create Queen Tulsi, a carefully crafted unique blend that targets emotional stress, brain fog, hormonal mood swings, and inflammation in the body. She has since sold thousands of bottles of Queen Tulsi driven by word of mouth and her mission to bring this natural stress relief to the greater public so everyone can benefit from the power of these ancient herbs.
