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 there any side effects to taking herbs?

    The most common side effect is digestive. Allergic reactions are rare.

    Digestive side effects may include some distention, bloating, or loosing of stool. These side effects usually pass as your body adjusts to the new substance you are taking.

  • How soon will my herbs arrive?

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

  • Are there any risks associated with acupuncture treatment?

    Soreness and slight bleeding or bruises at the needle insertion points are occasional side effects. However, if you receive acupuncture from a qualified, licensed practitioner who uses sterile needles, the risks of acupuncture are minimal.

  • 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.

  • Do you offer facial acupuncture treatments?

    Yes, I offer Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation treatment, which is different to cosmetic acupuncture. Ask me for more if you are interested!

  • How frequently should I book Zen Shiatsu treatments?

    Ideally you would choose to receive Zen Shiatsu treatment regularly, whether it be every week, every second week, or once a month. This sort of preventative approach maintains health and vitality (maintains the green zone) and stops problems from creeping into the orange zone or becoming red.
