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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How often do you recommend an acupuncture treatment?

    The frequency of your acupuncture treatments will be directly related to the severity of the issue we are addressing.

    For example, if your problem is acute and severe, treatments might be as frequent as every two days until resolved.

  • How soon will my herbs arrive?

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

  • 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.

  • Do you offer direct biling?

    No, not at this time. However, I do provide receipts that you can submit to your extended benefits provider.
