@Pallavi honestly I had the same question about home use. the rectal administration angle worries me without supervision — how do you even confirm the oil is retained for the right duration? probably needs a trained practitioner at least for the first few sessions.

I’ve read that some panchakarma procedures are paused during that time and wasn’t sure if oil enemas fall under the same restriction.
