The EEG was determined prior to, during and after taking a hot spring bath. As results of this study, it was found that a difference between the theta waves prior to and during the taking of a hot spring bath was significant. The theta wave decreased significantly due to taking the bath, which means that a hot spring bath can have a positive effect on relaxation.}, pages = {1--7}, title = {Effects of Taking a Hot Spring Bath on Relaxation}, volume = {61}, year = {2005} }
