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.

  • How much do herbs cost?

    The herbs used in my Kampo practice cost approximately $40-50 per two-week dosage.

  • How do I pay for my treatment?

    Payment is accepted by Interac e-Transfer, cash, or cheque.

    For e-Transfer, please send your payment to tagyoladler04@gmail.com.

  • How often should I schedule treatments?

    If we are working with a specific situation I will recommend a course of treatment and inform you when to rebook. If you are not experiencing a change after three sessions, we need to reassess and perhaps consider other approaches and/or practitioners.

    If you are coming for health maintenance / vitality promotion the key is regularity, not frequency. In other words, it is better to come once a month than erratically. This allows us to develop a therapeutic regimen and relationship. If you wish to come more frequently (weekly, every two weeks) that is even better, but it must make sense to you.

    With that said, I will always work with you where you are at, whether that means on a regular weekly schedule or once every few months or even years.
