In Hinduism

Ayurveda (science of life)

Source: archive.org: Sushruta samhita, Volume II

Yūṣa (यूष, “soup”).—An unsalted decoction of any substance not seasoned with any spices whatever is called Yusha, while the one salted and seasoned with spices is called Supa. In preparing the soup of any pulse, all husks should be carefully thrashed out and the grain should be slightly fried before boiling.

Yūṣa (यूष) refers to “broths”, mentioned in verse 3.45 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] as the (humours and the gastric fire) irritate one another this way, one shall turn to all (substances) that (are) applicable to all humours and promotive of the (gastric) fire: a cathartic enema after one’s body has been purged (with a vomitive etc.), old grain, prepared soups, game-meat, broths [viz., yūṣa], old wine and ariṣṭa liqueur [...]”.

Note: jāṅgalaṃ piśitam—“game-meat” has been simplified to skam-sai srog-chags (“jungle-animal, game”) and rendered dependent on yūṣa (“broth”), This points to a reading “jāṅgalapiśitaṃ yūṣaṃ” in the basic copy. The omission of piśita (“meat”) is not, however, absolutely certain inasmuch as &a might be taken for its equivalent then yūṣa would correspond only to khu instead of the ordinary śa-khu.

Yūṣa (यूष) Peya refers to a type of Yavāgu or “rice gruel”, as described in the 17th century Bhojanakutūhala (dravyaguṇāguṇa-kathana), and is commonly found in literature dealing with the topics of dietetics and culinary art, also known as Pākaśāstra or Pākakalā.—According to Bhojanakutūhala, rice gruels are prepared by boiling rice in water. Different types of rice gruels are described here, the water content being different. For yavāgu generally the quantity of water taken is six times that of the measure of rice. If the quantity of water is four times, it is called vilepī. If it is fourteen times, then it is peyā. The text also describes another type of gruel viz. yūṣā which is slightly heavier than the last variety, i.e. peyā. [...]

Yūṣa (prepared from green-gram) is mentioned in a list of remedies for indigestion.—A complete section in Bhojanakutūhala is devoted for the description of agents that cause indigestion [viz., pāyasa (a mixture of cooked rice, jaggery and milk)]. These agents consumed on a large scale can cause indigestion for certain people. The remedies [viz., yūṣa (prepared from green-gram)] for these types of indigestions are also explained therewith.

Accordingly, “... this [yūṣa] must be produced then with things of different tastes. It must be dressed with the essence of green gram [mudga] after removing their covering, cooked with milk, pounded with pepper, jīraka and salt with ghee using the ladles just as sour gruel is prepared”.
