Healing heat - picture another way (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

therapeutic

'healing' is the definition.
(I know that healing can be written as therapeutic)

'heat picture another way' is the wordplay.
'another way' indicates anagramming the letters.
'heat'+'picture'='heatpicture'
'heatpicture' with letters rearranged gives 'THERAPEUTIC'.

(Other definitions for therapeutic that I've seen before include "Helping to cure" , "having a good effect" , "Contributing to good health" , "Sanative" , "Curative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
