The Kageyu Spa in Nagano Prefecture is a simple thermal hot spring cerebrated from ancient times for so-called "Chubu-no-yu", that is, spa for the treatment of atherosclerosis and sequelae of cerebral apoplexy. The author investigated the effects of thermal baths at the Kageyu Spa on blood pressure and sequelae of so-called cerebral apoplexy and obtaind the following results.1) The effects of the single bathing (at 37°C, for 30-50 minutes) on blood pressure were investigated both in 13 cases, whose systolic blood pressure was over 150mmHg (hypertensive group) and in 12 cases, whose systolic blood pressure was under 150mmHg (normal group). In both groups the systolic and diastolic blood pressure reached the minimal value 10 minutes after the bath and returned gradually to the value before the bath within about 40 minutes. The degrees of the fall of systolic and diastolic blood pressure were on an average 16mmHg and 5mmHg in the hypertensive group and 8mmHg and 2mmHg in the normal group respectively.2) The effects of a series of thermal baths on blood pressure were investigated both in 12 cases with normal systolic blood pressure (normal group) and 52 cases with hypertension (hypertensive group), among which 11 cases showed over 200mmHg in the systolic blood pressure. In the normal group the depressor effect of the bathing was not remarkable on an average. On the contrary, the systolic blood pressure in the hypertensive group decreased on an average 23mmHg at the end of the second week and held the level to the end of the treatment. The fall of the diastolic blood pressure was not so remarkable as that of the systolic one, so the pulse amplitude tended to decrease by the spa treatment. Eleven patients with initial systolic blood pressure over 200mmHg showed on an average a fall of 36mmHg after 2-4 weeks of daily bathings.3) The author set up a criterion upon which to evaluate the effects of the spa treatment, that is, if the systolic blood pressure showed a fall over 11mmHg, while the diastolic one did not show a rise over 11mmHg during the course of the treatment, the treatment is estimated to have a depressor effect. According to such criterion, a series of thermal baths proved to be effective in 37 of 52 hypertensive cases (71%).4) Concerning the sequelae of 25 postapoplectic patients, the depressor effects were shown in 51%, the improvement of hemiplegia was obrerved in 60%, the complaints except motoric disturbance were ameliorated in 49% and a feeling of becoming healthy was generated in 80% of the patients after the spa treatment. Judging from thses results, the author concluded that the spa treatment at Kageyu was effective in 18 of 25 patients (72%).
