Question:
Any health benefits of key lime leaves ie as a tea or otherwise.?
I'm pruning my lime trees and I know that the leaves are used in thai cooking but was wondering if anyone had any information about their medicinal use in natural medecin as well. tried doing a google but it didn't turn up much on the first few pages.

great answers so far. I'll just add that they are indoor plants that I grew from seed from a key lime and they haven't had pesticides on them or anything and I'm just trimming them ocastionally to promote branching (bonsai) They are looking very healthy but I would hate to just throw away the leaves if they would have a good use.
Answers:
Both have benefits but you would have to eat so much of either one to get the benefits you would be sick from an excess of the non therapeutic contents.
