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.

  • Where can I park during my treatment?

    There is street parking along Dupont St, as well as on Shaw St (perpendicular to Dupont) and also Melville Ave (just south of Dupont).

    You can find a map on the Clinic Location page.

  • Which public transit stations are near the clinic?

    The closest subway stations are Dupont, Christie, and Ossington.

    It is a 10-15 minute walk from each of these stations to the clinic, and there are frequent buses you can catch.

  • Can herbal medicine help with my menstruation issues?

    Yes! When working with women with menstrual concerns, fertility, and other gynaecological issues, it is not uncommon to prescribe three or four formulas to be taken at different stages of your cycle.

    See more information about herbal medicine and menstruation here.

  • 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.

  • Do I call you Daniel or T’agyol? What does T’agyol mean?

    I resonate strongly with both of my names, and use them interchangeably.

    T’agyol is my Dharma name, which I received when I took Buddhist Precepts in the Korean Zen tradition. It means “Harmonizing of Opposites and Conflict Resolution”.

  • What happens during a herbal consultation?

    Herbal consultations involve many questions plus tongue, pulse, and abdominal assessment to arrive at a remedy. Your initial consultation lasts 75 minutes, and follow-up sessions are 1 hour.
