Anal Douching: By anal douching, I am assuming you are talking about enemas. Enemas should not be harmful, but they also shouldn't be necessary daily. I am wondering what your reason is for doing this. Feel free to submit another question with these specifics.

Not safe: No. Destroying your natural rectal and colon environment leads to increasing risk or more dangerous infections or bacteria. Frequent douching increases HIV risks. I know of no physician that would recommend even one douching let alone repeated douching.
