溫泉泡湯已成為國人重要的休閒活動之一，民眾對溫泉促進健康與美容的效果已有所肯定。查針對溫泉健康促進之研究，以溫泉對身體的物理效應及化學效應研究最為豐富，對整體環境氣氛影響使用效益之研究較少，本研究希望應用音樂治療的原理，了解與探討音樂對溫泉健康促進之效益。本研究採用實驗分析法，將數據利用SPSS 12.0 for Windows進行資料統計分析。在浸泡溫泉時分別聆聽經過挑選的快板音樂與慢版音樂，以「ARDK經絡診斷儀」，測量實驗前、後十二經絡能量參數之變化，據以建議有利於泡湯場域聆聽的音樂類型。實驗結果顯示，音樂確實能在泡湯時對身體經絡產生效應，快板音樂介入溫泉浸泡時有消除疲勞提振精神的功效，但也具有增加緩和能量的作用，端看經絡本身的性質；而慢板音樂在浸泡溫泉時，則扮演提升振奮能量的角色。本研究並沒有對受試者的音樂背景與喜好作考量。其結果亦有可能受到當時的情緒和健康狀況而影響。 There are a lot of hot springs in Taiwan.
