This review aims to determine whether antioxidants can modulate the harmful effects of electromagnetic fields, thereby influencing health and disease outcome associated with oxidative stress-induced insults. Electromagnetic fields increase oxidative stress and that dietary supplementation with antioxidants may play a role on the neutralization or buffering of the effects of electromagnetic fields with oxidizing properties. This review summarizes the most common and health-relevant sources of oxidative stress like electromagnetic fields. There are several reports related to the protective effect of natural based substances in prevention and treatment of deleterious effects induced by electromagnetic radiation. Due to space constrains and a broad scientific data, not all the studies could be covered in this review. The use of natural antioxidants from plant is increasing day by day. In this review, we summarized mitigation of bioeffects induced by exposure to electromagnetic fields by some plants rich in natural antioxidants such as, plum (Prunus domestica), bitter orange (Citrus aurantium), green tea (Camellia sinensis), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), basil (Ocillium basilicum), garlic (Allium sativum), Loranthus longiflorus, Alstonia scholaris. In addition, numerous natural antioxidants such as, vitamins C, E and their derivatives, date palm pollen,
