As per siddha concept growth is supported,it is protected and is derived from Enbu’s Oonn, but there is an intermediate element between these two that is Kozhuppu. It means the bones end are tied up with ligaments, fatty pads, synovial sacs, fatty fluids, tendons to another bone. This whole arrangements are covered and connected to one anothor by muscle tissues. So oonn with the help of kozhuppu ties up bones with one another and make it function without any friction. Modern aspect: Bones of the body together form the frame work or skeleton of the body. It forms bony cavity to protect all the soft parts of our body. Example: 1. Skull - protects brain 2. Thoracic cavity - protects heart and lungs 3. Pelvic cavity -protects genito urinary organs. – Bones forms the basic for locomotary activities. So Enbu is compared in modern with bone. Reason and Proof: In disease like rickets which affect bones, the limbs become malformed,so locomotion is affected. The chestcase turn into pigeon shaped chest so the patient suffers sometimes from irregular heart function, breathlessness and the both organs are under less protection. Siddhars says vatham lives in Enbu thathu, so when vatham increases the spaces and cavities inside the bone and the spongy tissue called bone marrow gets increased and the calcium deposits in the bone gradually gets decreased as a result the hardness of the bone decreases. The bone become weightless and result in degeneration of bone and softnening of bone. This theory of siddhars coincides with the modern concept in the diseases like: Osteoporosis - Degeneration and withering of bone cells due to low calcium deposits and reduction in the density of outer bony matter of bone and increase in the spaces between bone marrow which becomes inactive and the strength is lost. bone’s Osteomalacia - Softening of bone due to demineralization which may be due to any disease or deficiency of calcium and phosphorous.
