The Shulchan Aruch [OC 328:1] says:
Someone who has a mere bad feeling, but he strengthens himself and walks around like a healthy person, it is forbidden to do any healing for him, even by nonJews, because of grinding spices [lest one grind spices for medicine]...
Since we don't grind our medicines anymore, why are there any limitations? Aren't you supposed to remove all impediments to "rejoicing" on Shabbat? Why do we keep this and other rabbinic prohibitions whose rationale clearly no longer applies?
