based on your situation (66 yrs, liver condition ~70%, neck stiffness), I’ll give general safe Ayurvedic guidance: In liver disease avoid self-medication Many herbs/rasas can stress the liver Dose must be mild and supervised General rules for liver patient Prefer with water or warm water Avoid taking medicines with curd (heavy, increases Kapha, not good for liver) Buttermilk (thin) is better than curd if needed Simple Ayurvedic support for liver Liver support Bhumyamalaki churna Dose: ½ teaspoon twice daily with water Appetite & digestion Arogyavardhini Vati Dose: 1 tablet twice daily after food (only if doctor advised, use cautiously) For neck stiffness Internal Yogaraj Guggulu Dose: 1 tablet twice daily after food External Mahanarayan oil massage on neck 10–15 min daily + hot fomentation Diet advice Light food: moong dal, rice, vegetables Avoid oily, fried, alcohol, heavy curd Drink warm water
in a sixty six year old with this level of liver involvement we have to be very gentle and cautious not every preparation suits and we should not overload the digestion if appetite is good no nausea no heaviness no swelling and stools are normal then you can try a very small quantity start with half teaspoon once daily after food with lukewarm water and observe for a few days if the body feels comfortable then it can be increased to one teaspoon once daily but avoid taking more without supervision it is better to avoid taking it with curd because curd is heavy and can increase ama and put more load on the liver especially if taken at night lukewarm water is a safer option keep food very simple warm and easy to digest like moong dal rice soft vegetables avoid fried oily spicy food alcohol and packaged items for severe neck stiffness internal intake alone will not help much you should do gentle oil application over the neck with mild heat and very slow movements within comfort if there is any sign like loss of appetite nausea abdominal heaviness swelling or yellowish discoloration then stop and consult your doctor because liver conditions always need individual monitoring
