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.

  • What should I wear during my treatment?

    This is ultimately up to you, though please do not wear jeans during your treatment.

    Some people like to wear loose-fitting clothing, like track pants or shorts and a t-shirt. Others strip to their underwear and choose to be draped with a sheet.

  • 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.

  • Can herbal medicine be taken when following vegetarian, vegan, and other specialised diets?

    Yes! All of your dietary needs will be discussed and considered during our assessment, however these herbs are safe for all dietary restrictions.

  • How many Zen Shiatsu sessions do I need?

    It all depends on you. I often get good results after one session, however, it usually takes a series of three to see a strong shift in condition.

    It is important to remember though that as some conditions take a long time to develop, equally so it can take a corresponding amount of time to undo.

    I have some clients that have been seeing me for years to maintain their zone level and enjoy a full quality of life, no matter their age or ailments.

  • Will my herbal medicine remedy work on the first try?

    Sometimes, but not always. Some trial and error is to be anticipated in the initial prescription. Matching a formula to your situation is akin to a “lock and key”. The perfect formula opens up the solution for your problem.

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

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