A friend found it very interesting (as did I) and compelling (me,
less so) - but the tie in with physics is different. the author
is closely associated with the Institute of Noetic Science which
used to be pretty "scientific" but seems to have evolved more to
"new age".

Concerning questions about the scientific nature/documentation
for Chinese/Ayurvedic Herbal Medicine:
The main source of statistical support for Chinese and
Ayurvedic Herbal Medicine approaches is quantity and
replication. Many of the formulas used (combination of
different amounts and types of plants) have been used for
specific types of illnesses for hundreds of years, with
documented changed made over the centuries as different plants
were found and used. There is historical data on this. Start
to explore Chinese Traditional Medicine history and you will
unveil this history of trail and error, documented successes,
etc.
In addition, currently there are documented studies -- for
example, The Portland Institute of Chinese Medicine will
provide on-line studies regarding the use of Rehmannia 6 and 8
for treating Diabetes Mellitus, or studies regarding
Parkinsons.
There is an enormous amount of evidence, actually.
Further, there is scientific reasoning related to the
biological makeup of the body -- some plants are used to
trigger perspiration, some used to trigger cell division, some
to dissolve stagnant blood, some to heal arteries, some to
nourish blood, etc. Different formulas are known to help for
specific reasons in terms of how they interact with different
organs in the body.
It is quite scientific in its toto.
Finally -- I tried some of the formulas when I had specific
physical complaints and found them to work very well. That
also helps.
