Tīkṣṇadhūma (तीक्ष्णधूम) refers to “pungent inhalants”, mentioned in verse 4.10-11 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] Headache, weakness of the senses, stiffness of the neck, and hemiplegia of the face (result from the suppression) of sneezing. By pungent inhalants [viz., tīkṣṇadhūma], collyria, perfumes, and sternutatories and by looking at the sun one shall stimulate impeded sneezing; moreover, one shall repeatedly use lubricants and diaphoretics. [...]”.

Note: A slight deviation from the original lies in the fact that tīkṣṇa, which the scholiasts refer to the entire compound (except its final member), has been connected only with dhūma; as if to stress this point, its equivalent rnon has been given a (superfluous) case-ending of its own.
