Hello and welcome to HCM,     
I am Dr Nilajkumar a consultant gynecologist and I will be helping you in your queries.

Hermin and arg sachets help to improve the amniotic fluid. Other measures are drink plenty of water [ 2 litres in one hour, you may even take lemonade] in addition to your routine water intake. Do this every alternate day. This is called oral hydration. Sleep on left side as much as possible to improve blood flow to fetus.

AFI of 8.5 is low but not very low. So do not worry. Just try these and you will fine.

Hope this was helpful.
Feel free to ask any further queries and I will be happy to help.
Thanks for using HCM.
Have a good day.
