When you have a blood clot in your leg you should try raising your legs 6 inches above your heart from time to time which helps keep your blood flowing properly through your blood vessels in your legs.

Getting plenty of exercise instead of sitting around too much can also improve your blood circulation and prevent blood clots from happening.

Another good easy exercise to do is to jog in place as jogging in place can help improve your circulation or even just go for a jog around town or simply get up and walk or run if possible.

Another thing you can do to help get rid of a blood clot in your leg is to wear special stockings (called compression stockings) if your doctor prescribes them.

Your doctor may also want to put you on some blood thinning medicine as well if your blood is getting too thick and causing the blood clots.

Blood clots can be dangerous and potentially fatal so always get medical treatment even though some home remedies can work for blood clots.
