Ptosis, characterized by the drooping of the upper eyelid, is a common physiological response sometimes observed after cannabis consumption. This effect stems primarily from the relaxation of muscles around the eye and can be exacerbated by fatigue or dehydration. Methods to mitigate this temporary condition focus on counteracting these underlying factors.
Addressing the potential for eyelid droop is beneficial for maintaining a presentable appearance and can contribute to a feeling of alertness and control. Historically, individuals have sought remedies for related conditions through various methods, from topical applications to lifestyle adjustments, demonstrating a consistent desire to manage and alleviate undesirable physical manifestations. Early attempts at managing this physiological response were often folk remedies, but modern approaches leverage a greater understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
