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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Do you offer direct biling?

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

  • 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.

  • Are there “take-home” tasks after a Zen Shiatsu treatment?

    Yes. If appropriate I recommend dietary changes, exercise, and breathing practices.

  • Do you offer facial acupuncture treatments?

    Yes, I offer Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation treatment, which is different to cosmetic acupuncture. Ask me for more if you are interested!
