No it is not helpful for that. Better take proper check up to find out the cause and then treatment for it. You can consult me at Lybrate for homoeopathic treatment. Till then take thyroid hormone test. T3 t4 tsh.

Your wife has venous engorgement of the lower legs and it a very common in pregnancy. She can use an elasto crepe bandage, stand less and keep simply moving the legs while sitting or lying down and need to regularly follow up bp by the gynaecologist.
