Salty and cold, also clears channels

咸 - salty
寒 - cold

降清 - seems to be clearing

降清 善走窜 - clears channels?

so in the context of the text given -

earthworm properties : salty and cold, clears (heat) in the (collateral) channels.

P.S. - I am not an expert. But just tried answering it, see if this helps.


Peer comment(s):

agree jyuan_us : Agreed. But how did you manage to answer a question in a language you don't even translate to/from? You did a great job. The phrase is extremely hard to understand even for someone native in Chinese.

Hello Sir, Thanks for your kind feedback. I love Mandarin Chinese and I am learning it. I have managed to clear HSK exams on my own with a score of 99%. I still have a long way to go. I admire you as you have mastered a really tough language.
