Hot water raises so it naturally circulates.
Call it convection

It helps if you shower before.

It does not need a pump of any kind it works through water pressure caused through a temperature differential between the top and bottom inlet.

That’s a great idea. I think you deserve to be anointed in oil.

If you’re heating with a wood fire and circulating the water through convection, remember to give it a good stir before getting in. Perhaps use an oar as a stirring paddle. If not stirred, you’ll have very hot water at the top of tub, lukewarm at the middle depth and cold water at the bottom. As far as preventing the gunk like dead skin, body oils, etc. use Japanese techniques for bathing. Heat the water, stir it, use a dipper to pour warm water over your body outside the tub, soap up then rinse off using the dipper, then get into the tub. Voila, leave the dirt and gunk outside the tub! Clean bodies in the tub keep the water much cleaner. Use the tub for soaking, not cleaning.
