The Effects of a Whirlpool on Skin

Sometimes used for physical therapy purposes, whirlpools can help cleanse and heal wounds as well as reduce skin inflammation. As noted by published physical therapist Carrie Sussman of the Wound Care Information Network, whirlpool treatment increases blood flow to the injured area, softens dead or damaged tissue and removes debris from wounds or burns while also being effective for pain management purposes. The force and direction of whirlpool turbulence may be adjusted to protect skin tissue from trauma.

The turbulent motion of water in a whirlpool helps to cleanse skin thoroughly. This can be helpful for physical therapy purposes, as the water helps to clear wounds of any debris, or of traces of topical agents.

Often used in physical therapy, whirlpools aid in the healing of skin wounds. Whirlpools are best for necrotic wounds in which skin cells are dying because of infection, wounds with debris, moderate to heavy weeping wounds or wounds caused by a restriction in blood supply, according Sussman.

Whirlpool use affects the inflammation phase of the skin's healing process. Warm water helps to widen blood vessels, which in turn reduces blood pressure, and eases inflammation. Increased blood flow also helps oxygen and nutrients reach the tissues while bringing with it key elements of the body's natural defense system such as antibodies, healing white blood cells and natural antibiotics.

The water in a whirlpool removes "exudate" from a wound. "...Been covering your age from the whole world? But for how much time will this keep going? Or got fed up trying those tempting anti aging creams, uncomfortable surgery and hazardous chemicals? Do Not Worry, dear. Here is a natural treatment to look and get younger, healthier and sexier than you are. So here it is for you Anti-aging Foods..". Exudate is fluid from the circulatory system that seeps into lesions or areas of inflammation. The removal of exudate helps to control infection.

The warm water of a whirlpool has the added benefit of inducing sedation and analgesia, thus helping to control the pain of skin wounds.
