Relieve pain, reduce stress, and quicken rehabilitation with veteran Toronto practitioner Daniel (T’agyol) Adler.

Herbal Medicine + Zen Shiatsu + Acupuncture

Welcome to Daniel Adler Clinic

I offer my services as an experienced and certified practitioner of traditional East Asian medicine (TEAM) based in Toronto, Ontario.

In my practice I work with individuals seeking alternative medicine options to facilitate self-healing and to overcome illness and disease.

As a TEAM practitioner I use herbal remedies and the techniques of Zen Shiatsu bodywork and acupuncture to help you restore balance and harmony to your body and mind.

I am here when you’re ready. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Your Treatment Options

The traditional East Asian medicine treatments I offer have been used for centuries. Like all forms of medicine, TEAM is constantly evolving, developing, and improving.

  • Kampo Herbal Medicine

    Kampo herbal medicine is a traditional Japanese system that uses natural plant-based remedies to promote health, support specific health concerns, and maintain overall well-being.
  • Zen Shiatsu Bodywork

    Zen Shiatsu massage uses finger, hand, elbow, foot, and knee pressure to improve energy flow and bring balance to the body. It can reduce stress, assist with rehab, and promote wellness.
  • Acupuncture + Zen Shiatsu

    Whether you are seeking relief from acute or chronic pain or wish to relax and unwind, acupuncture combined with Zen Shiatsu can be an effective and enjoyable complement to your self-care routine.

  • Are medicinal herbs safe to be used in conjunction with modern pharmaceuticals?

    Yes, except when explicitly understood not to. Then absolutely not. This is another reason to never explore herbal medicine on your own.

  • Is acupuncture more commonly used to treat ailments or for health maintenance?

    I more frequently administer acupuncture to treat specific ailments as opposed to general health maintenance, however this is not a hard and fast rule.

    Many of my clients keep monthly or bi-monthly acupuncture appointments as a component of proactively managing their health.

  • Do you use oils or tools during Zen Shiatsu massage?

    Generally, no. I will occasionally apply liniments to acute strains, sparing, and fractures. However my best work comes directly through my hands, elbows, knees, and feet.

  • What are acupuncture needles like?

    Acupuncture needles are very thin, and rarely cause any discomfort. The needles used at Daniel Adler Clinic are made of stainless steel, and are single-use/disposable.

  • Are there “take-home” tasks after a Zen Shiatsu treatment?

    Yes. If appropriate I recommend dietary changes, exercise, and breathing practices.

  • How soon will my herbs arrive?

    Expect your herbs to arrive by mail within 3-5 days after your initial consultation.

    The Daniel Adler Clinic Newsletter: Issue 2, Breathe

    The theme for our second issue is Breathe. One of my main “goals” when I treat you is to create an encompassing space for you to be in. A place where you can literally relax and breathe.
