Uṣṇadāha (उष्णदाह) refers to “heat through hot factors”, as mentioned in verse 5.15-16 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] normal, fat, and lean (respectively get) those who drink water during, after, and before meals. Cold water removes alcoholism, lassitude, stupor, nausea, fatigue, giddiness, thirst, heat through hot (factors) [viz., uṣṇadāha], hemorrhage, and poison”.

Note: Dāha (“heat”) has been turned lus thsa (“hot body”), while uṣṇa (“hot factor”) has been left untranslated; according to the scholiasts, such factors are climate, food, and the like.
