Taken from Rav Ovadya's Halacha Yomit emails:
1.One
may donate charity in order for a relative or the like to recover from
an illness, for he intends to do so for the sake of Heaven as well, in
order to fulfill Hashem's
commandment. The same applies to the fulfillment of any Mitzvah which
one performs for his own benefit as well. If one intends to perform a
Mitzvah solely for the sake of Heaven, this is an especially unique
Mitzvah, for such Mitzvot cause Hashem great satisfaction
and are the most anticipated by Hashem.
2. In any
case, this teaches us the severity of using what is commonly referred
to as “Practical Kabbalah,” for even if there are individuals nowadays
who may know how to use holy names for medical purposes and the like,
one should abstain from consulting such
witch-doctors who may appear to be Mekubalim and mystical people. One
who cherishes his soul should distance himself from such individuals who
present themselves as Mekubalim when the extent of their integrity and
righteousness is in serious question (“Babas”).
Even if in truth they do possess some knowledge about holy names, it is
reasonable to say that they are causing great damage by using these
names, for this is not child’s play that immediately upon reciting a
specific holy name the sick person will be healed
immediately; we are dealing with a deep and complex issue and whoever
has only slight knowledge of this issue will end up causing much more
damage that good.
