- Before involving oneself in any activity for one’s health even taking a pill one should say Yehe Ratzon Milfanecha Hashem Elokei Sheyehe Esek Zeh Li LeRefuah Ki Rofeh Chinam Atta (יהי רצון מלפניך ה' אלוקי שיהיה עסק זה לי לרפואה כי רופא חנם אתה).

- In times of the Gemara there was a Yehe Ratzon before going to the bathroom, but the minhag is not to say it nowadays. [3]
