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?

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

  • 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.

  • How soon will my herbs arrive?

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

  • 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.

  • What are the principles of traditional East Asian medicine?

    Practitioners of traditional East Asian medicine (TEAM) view the body as a unified and connected whole, utilizing different world views that include Ki / Qi, Yin and Yang, and meridians.

    TEAM practitioners, like myself, acknowledge and understand that a) there are other approaches to health and healing that developed prior to modern/Western medical understanding, and b) that these approaches were and are still effective and relevant.

  • Will I be prescribed more than one herbal remedy?

    In general I prefer to only prescribe a single formula. In that way I can know exactly what has been taken into your body and can understand what to expect.

    However, If your situation is complicated or you have numerous complaints, I may choose to prescribe more than one formula. For example, one formula for your basic underlying constitution and another formula to address your presenting symptoms.
