Results

This uncontrolled intervention study explored the effects of stone spa use on the psychological states of
women. Sixty-eight female volunteers (mean age 37.5 years (standard deviation 14.8)) recruited at
a women-only stone spa facility participated in the study. They completed the short-form Profile of
Moods States (POMS) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before and after stone spa use in order
to determine changes in mood and anxiety states. Six factors relating to mood were measured using the
POMS: Tension&Anxiety, Depression&Dejection, Anger&Hostility, Vigor, Fatigue, and Confusion. The two
anxiety concepts of state anxiety and trait anxiety were also measured. The scores for Tension&Anxiety
and Anger&Hostility and both anxiety measures were improved statistically after stone spa use. Stone spa
use shows considerable promise for improving mood and reducing anxiety. Since this study was
a descriptive, prospective and uncontrolled intervention study, further investigation of these promising
findings is warranted.
