Hi Mochaccino,
The traditional way is to make a tincture (hydroalcoholic extract) first:

Maybe Chiquitabella has already made it. If you read the rest of the thread, you will find the recipe we developed. You may want to use 50 vol% liquor, because good PM powder is made from the root.
Then you make a salve. My own kitchen chemist experiments on fenugreek are in the bottom half of this post:

The salve is at the bottom of the post.
I don't know if the miroestrol from PM will dissolve in oil directly. An extract in water was described in detail in the scientific publication I referenced in the discussion with Chiquitabella:

But you need a coffee percolator to make that (or a soxhlet extractor, if you have a lab). The extract in water is not strong. Susan (Beachbumbythesea) commented that the reason for this may be poor solubility of miroestrol in water.
