It's the nicotine that increases blood flow so patches would do a similar job, chillis are good too if you can stomach them.

Originally posted by NickFitz View PostNo - although it causes an increase in heart rate, it also acts as a vasoconstrictor, narrowing the blood vessels. Therefore, despite the increase in heart rate, blood flow is actually reduced, and blood pressure increased, thereby placing additional strain on the heart.Comment

would you rub chillis onto an open wound
Ulcerate Colitis and Crohns are both Inflammatory bowel diseases.
NOT to be confused with irritable bowl syndrome.
Colitis only affects the bowel whilst Crohns can affect the whole digestive tract.
The effects can be similar, but they are quite different diseases.

Small amounts of chilli work ok for me, obviously a madras wouldn't be advisable though I often think sod it and have one anyway!
The symptoms can be very similar, I have a London mate who was diagnosed with crohn’s for 5 years only for the doctor to change his mind and say it was now UC.
I don't know about UC but I have tried all sorts of different diets which to be honest don't seem to make much difference and the doctor doesn't seem interested when I ask about food, If I'm going through a good spell I can eat and drink whatever I like without too much trouble.
In bad times I eat soup.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I just know that spicy food on bleeding ulcers is a really bad idea!
Sorry to hear you have Crohns, I've noticed that over the years dietary advice has changed a lot, it used to be avoid fibre, now its eat a high fibre diet, so I ignore it and just do what feels best for me.
The problem with both diseases is that so little is really known about the causes.
Yeah IBD - its carp isn't it!I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
