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.

Kampo Herbal Medicine

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. -

What do the herbs taste like?
They may be bitter, sour, woody, or rooty. Sometimes they don’t taste great, but they are by no means terrible!
-
What are the differences between Kampo and other forms of herbal medicine?
To learn about the differences between Kampo, Japanese herbal medicine, and traditional Chinese herbal medicine, please read my comparison article.
-
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.
-
Do I have to wear a mask during treatment?
Masks are no longer required while you receive treatment. However, as Covid-19 and other airborne diseases are a reality, please evaluate yourself carefully before coming to treatment. If you do have a fever, chills, sore throat, sudden unexplained stuffy nose, respiratory difficulty, or other unexplained acute symptons, please cancel your appointment and stay home to get better.
-
Will my extended benefits cover your services?
It depends on the specific extended health benefits plan that you have. Some extended health benefits plans cover traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners, while others do not. Some plans cover all of my services, others cover only some, for example acupuncture but not herbal medicine.
It is your responsibility to check with your insurance provider to find out what is covered under your specific plan.
-
How much do herbs cost?
The herbs used in my Kampo practice cost approximately $40-50 per two-week dosage.
