In the Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and Integrated Medicine (IM), hydrotherapy and balneotherapy have been important treatment. They have several pleiotropic effects, such as thermal effects, buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, viscous resistance and chemical effects.

These regulations are involved in two axes, which are the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). These impaired regulations such as stress, aging, organic and other causes would lead to various cardiovascular pathology. They include hypertension, arrhythmia, ischemic heart disease and congestive heart failure. 5 Cardiovascular patients often have persistently increased sympathetic activity. 6 This state contributes to the attenuation of parasympathetic nerve activity and the occurrence of heart failure and arrhythmia. From the above, in order to prevent the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases, it is very important to improve the balance of the autonomic nervous system. 6 On the other hand, there have been a category of music therapy (MT), which is one of the Integrative Medicine (IM) and Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). 7 IM and CAM have been developed and prevalent across the world, with a variety of treatments. 8,9 The authors have continued various activities concerning IM and CAM as the Shikoku division of the Integrative Medicine Japan (IMJ). We are music therapists and pianists and reported the efficacy of music therapy in several opportunities. 10 Among a variety of types of therapies in the category of IM and CAM, MT seemed to be one of the most popular and acceptable treatments by every person. The reason would be that it can be understood by heathy people, clients, patients with health problems and various diseases. 11
