ṣu屹ī (क्षुधावती) [or Kṣudhāvaṭikā?] is the name of an Ayurvedic recipe defined in the fifth volume of the Rasajalanidhi (chapter 8, Amlapitta: acidity and biliousness). These remedies are classified as Iatrochemistry and form part of the ancient Indian science known as Rasaśāstra (medical alchemy). However, since it is an ayurveda treatment it should be taken with caution and in accordance with rules laid down in the texts.

Accordingly, when using such recipes (e.g., ṣu屹ī): “the minerals (uparasa), poisons (ṣa), and other drugs (except herbs), referred to as ingredients of medicines, are to be duly purified and incinerated, as the case may be, in accordance with the processes laid out in the texts.� (see introduction to Iatro chemical medicines)
