This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether adding oregano and basil leaves to your daily diet can help protect your heart after you've had unstable angina. These herbs are rich in natural plant compounds called polyphenols, which may reduce inflammation and improve cholesterol levels. The study will compare people who eat these herbs along with their regular heart medications to those who take medications alone.
Research suggests that polyphenol-rich foods can help prevent heart disease by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, but we don't yet know if eating oregano and basil specifically can help people who have already had unstable angina. This trial will help answer that question.

You will be randomly assigned to either eat oregano and basil leaves daily along with your regular heart medications, or continue with medications alone. Throughout the study, you'll have visits where researchers will take blood and urine samples to measure inflammation, cholesterol levels, and polyphenol content. The study will track how these markers change over time in both groups.
