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 I explore herbal medicine on my own?

    I strongly discourage exploring herbal medicine without professional input.

    In order to determine which herbs are best for your needs, I will inquire about your ailment and your lifestyle to better understand your body as a whole.

    The formulas and herbs discussed in our sessions are part of a much larger system. They may be appropriate for certain individuals who suffer from the conditions described, but are not necessarily the best choice for everyone in that situation.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • What should I wear during my treatment?

    This is ultimately up to you, though please do not wear jeans during your treatment.

    Some people like to wear loose-fitting clothing, like track pants or shorts and a t-shirt. Others strip to their underwear and choose to be draped with a sheet.

  • 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.

  • What do you mean by the term “bodywork”?

    Bodywork to me means working with the human body in a deeply connected manner, using the methods of Zen Shiatsu, acupuncture, and herbs in order to correct imbalances and bring about positive change.
