Abstract

 This study aimed to clarify the effects of warm water bathing on skin temperature and mood state, and to compare the effects of three different water types: tap water, water with additives, and natural spring water. The study design was approved by the Ethical Review Committee of the Department of Medical Sciences, University of Fukui. Inclusion criteria for this study were male, age between 20 to 29 year, and no history of circulatory diseases, chronic diseases, and dermatological diseases. Subjects were asked to perform the following bathing procedure in each of the 3 kinds of water: 1)10 min of rest on a chair(1st rest); 2)30 min of warm water(38℃) bathing(bathing); and 3)30 min of rest on a chair(2nd rest). The subjects' kinetic temperatures(axilla and middle finger)were observed during these procedures. Secretory cortisol levels were measured in the subjects' saliva. Subjects' objective moods were measured by using the Profile of Mood States(POMS). Kinetic temperatures increased during bathing and gradually decreased after bathing under all conditions. From analysis of POMS, "Tension-Anxiety", "Anger-Hostile" and "Confusion" moods decreased in all three conditions; whereas, "Vigor" mood increased after bathing in all conditions. In addition, increased "Confortable" mood was observed after bathing in all three conditions. The salivary cortisol level was decreased immediately after bathing in all 3 types of water, but increased at the end of 30 minutes bathing, especially in the tap water bathing. This result indicates that stress level decreased at the beginning of bathing, but increased toward the end of bathing. In conclusion, bathing in any condition could make relaxation, but the bathing in natural springs could have the most relaxation effect on the subjects. In addition, bathing in water with additives had an insulating effect and caused the longest elevation of skin temperature.
