How you use the stones is up to you.  You can use the non-toxic ones to create elixirs for your needs.  You can use them in the bath (if they are safe to submerge in water).   You can lay them on the body in the specific physical location where there is a problem or you can use them on a related chakra as well.  Once you have cleansed, cleared and charged your stone for it’s specific healing purpose, use it however you feel guided.  As your healing guides, the God and Goddess, your spirit guides, etc for help with picking the best application for you and your situation.

The first list is one of aliments and related stones that can be used for healing.  A second list is provided for reference when working with the chakras; you’ll see here each of the seven meridian chakras and the physical areas that each of those chakras can help in healing.
