Take your pick from these definitions on wikipedia
Modern uses include camphor as a plasticizer
for nitrocellulose (see Celluloid), as a moth repellent, as an antimicrobial substance, in embalming, and in fireworks. Solid camphor releases fumes that form a rust-preventative coating, and is therefore stored in tool chests to protect tools against rust
I thoguht it was a medicinal agent. But also know it is very pungent. So maybe opening it will drive away baddies? Or certain kind of baddies. It IS an embalming fluid. Maybe it turns you into The Mummy!
