Is this what you're looking for? It's from
“Herbs for the Mediaeval Household" by Margaret B. Freeman

Bruise Butter
1 1/2 C calendula flowers (pot marigold)
8 oz jar pure lanolin (anhydrous)
6 oz coconut oil
a quarter to a half cup comfrey

Put all ingredients in a covered casserole, bake at 375 for an hour. Strain
through cheesecloth into container, cool and label.

You can add eucalyptus oil or oil of clove for smell.
As with any salve recipe if it sets up too soft remelt and add more beeswax.
