I wasn't sure if I should post this in natural body care or mothering, but since it involves making a salve I decided to ask it here. I want to make a nipple salve for nursing mothers that also combats thrush. I want the 2 main "active ingredients" to be plantain seeds and calendula (infused in oil). I know it won't be a problem to steep the calendula in oil to extract the beneficial properties, but any ideas on how this is going to work out with the plantain seeds? Also, I was thinking about using coconut oil instead of olive oil because of its actions against thrush. I don't think this will be a problem because it is warm enough in my apartment that my coconut oil doesn't usually solidify in the cabinet. Well, that's all I got so far. Ideas as well as support would be much appreciated. :-) Blessings to all!
