Brief Answer:
Detailed below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
It all depends where is the blood clot located. If it is in the superficial leg veins, you may try natural methods. However if it is located in a the deep veins, any natural methods are extremely risky.
Before anticoagulants where invented, in such cases leeches were used as a natural method. Leeches produce Hirudin which is a natural anticoagulant and can be helpful in such cases.
Moreover, in case of superficial veins thrombosis, your body will remove the blood clot by its own (it can take a month or so).
But for your safety, you should rather be on Heparin injections.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
