Any Natural Therapy For Bruised Knees Caused By Twisted Vein?

A friend of mine was in a car accident and has bruised knees which he was told was caused by a twisted vein. They told him surgery might help, but it is expensive and may not solve the problem. I am now learning about doTerra Essential oils and I believe there is an oil for this, but I need to know the medical name for this condition. Do you know also if there are any other natural therapies out there for this condition?

I am not able to understand the condition you are talking. If you mean swelling in knee is due to accumulation of blood in knee joint, it can be removed through knee injection. I do not believe, if any oil can help your friend. I would also like to suggest you that your friend should apply compression bandage on your knee, do not massage his knee as it increases chances of knee stiffness.
