    Plantago major, peppermint oil, coconut oil .
    Crush plantago and peppermint into a small pot. Add coconut oil (or coconut butter) and simmer on low for 20 minutes.
    Remove from heat and allow to cool. Fill salve tins. Massage into entire bag and teat area once a day after feeding kids.
    Plantago is a drawing herb with amazing healing properties.
    It is also antimicrobial and antifungal.
    Peppermint is a soothing herb that helps relax tissue.
