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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How long are your sessions?

    Appointment times are scheduled for 1 hour, with longer 75-minute initial sessions for acupuncture and herbal consultations.

    You can find full details on the Rates page.

  • 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.

  • What is your cancellation policy?

    Please provide at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.

    If you do not provide at least 24 hours notice, or if you do not show up for your appointment, you will be charged the full amount of your scheduled treatment.
