Also called: CNNS all three sides, Three-sided CNNS, CNNS 'Gas-Gas' all 3 sides, तीन-तरफ़ा CNNS
CNNS — all 3 sides is the fuller form of the Complete New Nabhi Set, given on one named toe along its centre line and along both sides of it. Its best-known use is on the two big toes, before Loveleen, for chest pain caused by gas in the stomach.
CNNS, the Complete New Nabhi Set, sets the navel from the feet: it works along the top of the foot from near the ankle to the toe, because each toe is linked to one place around the navel. Ordinary CNNS works along the centre line of each toe.
The 'all 3 sides' form goes further on a single toe. It works the centre line and then both sides of it, so the whole line from ankle to toe is covered from three directions. It is never given on every toe as a routine — only on the toe the card names.
You lie on your back. A pillow goes under the foot with the heel left outside it, and the therapist sits at the foot end.
It is given on the top of the foot, from near the ankle to the edge of the nail, along the line of the toe that is written on the card. For example, 'CNNS Gas-Gas all 3 sides' means the big toe of each foot — the Gas toes — and no other toe.
It is given with the therapist's thumb, exactly in the manner of CNNS: the thumb presses the skin gently inward and draws forward toward the toe, and the toe is gently bent toward the sole and released. The difference is only that the line is worked from three sides, not one.
The thumb never rests on the tip of the toe. How each side is taken, and how the work is divided between them, is taught hands-on in the course, under a trained teacher.
The exact technique is taught hands-on in the Neurotherapy (LMNT) course. See the course →
In LMNT teaching it does what CNNS does — sets the organ linked to that toe around the navel — but more thoroughly, on one chosen line. The toe-to-navel link is the therapy's own map, drawn from clinical experience.
It is a named form of CNNS, and it belongs to the navel-set family given at the feet.
It is written for a named toe, so its use follows from the organ code of that toe.
Because the card names the organ that needs the work. A named toe narrows the treatment; the other toes are left alone.
It is CNNS taken further on one toe — the centre line plus both sides. Ordinary CNNS works the centre line only.
Not before a doctor has checked your heart. Once the heart is cleared and the pain is from gas, a therapist may use this with Loveleen.
Trapped gas and acid reflux are common causes of chest pain that is not from the heart — yet they can feel very similar, which is why the heart is always checked first.

The big toe has two small bones where every other toe has three, and it carries a large share of your weight when you push off to walk.

On the top of the foot the skin lies almost directly on bone and tendon, with very little padding — one reason the pressure there is kept gentle.
