This paper discusses the mechanism of Qi Zhurna moxibustion therapy according to psychology and immunology. The acute psychological stress during the Qi Zhuma moxibustion operation was observed. The immune responses to acute psychological stress were investigated according to the theory of psychology and immunolo- gy. The possible psycho-immune mechanism of Qi Zhuma moxibustion treatment was proposed： the acute psychological stress during Qi Zhurna moxibustion treatment may stimulate immune system, and thus leads to the effectiveness of Qi Zhuma moxibustion. Ancient Chinese doctors applied psychology into acupuncture and moxibustion practice which need to be further explored in clinic acupuncture at modern time.
